Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomRestaurant was too expensive for what we got. We ordered two burgers which came without any sides for £17 each ( only burger) . And the fries were just frozen ones from the bag which cost £4 I don't think worth the money. I think I was unhappy as I was expected for that price to be freshly made. I don't mind to pay for the food if it's quality but I just felt for what it was it was expensive. Left £70 for 2 burgers 2 sides and a glass of wine + tip.
Really nice room and facilities. Every staff member was very helpful and kind

United KingdomThe pool could have been cleaned up a bit had alot of used towels and rubbish everywhere and the jacuzzi had alot of sand on the bottom which needed cleaning out. The balcony which we upgraded too, had only one chair and a tiny table with an ashtray. I don't smoke, and there was two of us staying would have been nice to sit out on the balcony together with a proper table, a few plants would have looked nice too. Wasn't the high end look of a hotel and spa, such a shame.
The food at the restaurant was outstanding highly recommended for anyone who stays there.

United KingdomRoom wasn’t as ordered, tired decor, no one to serve coffee or drinks, no wine in the evening, no flexibility of staff, rude staff who refused to serve despite being under time constraints due to a show. Refusal to serve in restaurant bar despite being empty, noisy while show was taking place. One helpful and lovely bar tender who went above and beyond and did all the work while everyone else did NOTHING!
Pool was very nice until unruly kids arrived.

United KingdomBreakfast was pretty good, not excellent, but pretty good. Room needs a bit of love and an update for the price we paid.
Some really lovely decor in the hotel. Our room, a junior suite was a bit 'meh' ..... but pretty good. Not worth the money tbh. A little bit overpriced for what we got. But it's nice overall. The dining room and bars are really lovely. It was just the room was a bit sparse, with some very tired furnishings. Badly needed some rugs or carpet. The pool is nice, we pretty much had that to ourselves and the jacuzzi is great! Was just a quick overnight stay.

United KingdomWe had no towels in our room and when we went to get some were told the delivery was late, there were piles of them in the pool area. No bath mat so the floor was slippery. There were also some plastic clips on the floor, so it hadn’t been swept properly. My brother had paid for 2 bottles of Prosecco to be in the rooms on arrival as a surprise for us. Nothing! If he hadn’t asked if we liked our surprise then we would never have got them. The hotel did give us a couple of free drinks each as an apology but it was a shame as the hotel was lovely.
Great location, a few minutes walk to the sea in one direction and shops, bars and restaurants in the other. The spa was fantastic. Everyone could use the pool and sauna but if you had a treatment you had access to a relaxation room too, which was wonderful. Very good breakfast included.

United KingdomPool and spa area dated. Changing rooms not lockable and lockers not secure. BUT for the price - what else do you expect. Shower room was tiny. Got a fine through about parking whilst I was there but to be fair hotel sorted it out - although wasn’t nice to receive it through the post.
Room was good, place had a good look and the bar area was good. All areas nice and clean.

United KingdomBreakfast finishing at 9.30.
The room was fine with a comfortable bed and good drinks and bathroom facilities. The breakfast was really good but, a big criticism, to have it finishing at 9.30 really spoiled our mornings. Even another 30 minutes would have started our day in a more relaxed way. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were excellent with an ample supply of towels. We were able to walk easily into the town and to the cliff top walk. We didn't get to the lower level by the beach.

United KingdomThe bedroom decor was tired, I am partially disabled, so had an accessible room. The bathroom sink was tiny, with no hot water, it was a wet room but the water didn’t drain properly, so had to use our towels to stop the water leaking into the bedroom!! There was no blind to the window, which I find embarrassing. Even though the window was frosted, you can still see the silhouette of the person. The bed although comfortable came apart as there was a zip to join the mattresses. So as a disabled person, with a serious spinal issue, this was very painful.
The location was super, lovely inside. THE STAFF WERE AMAZING!!! The swimming pool was lovely, although the jacuzzi didn’t work?

Was sorted out but had to make several trips down to reception and a few visits from handy guy to sort out the bleep. Lights round the bathroom mirror also didn’t work.
The bed was really comfortable and we slept really well.

Herd of elephants, for 7 hours before they went to bed Body wash and shampoo were completely empty Friend booked afternoon tea and had real trouble getting through to make booking, following up to get email confirmation, when we arrived you still didn't have a record of the booking. afternoon bar service should have been ready to go - unimpressed with bar tender sniffing limes to see if they were fresh and offering lemon - not to be expected from a 4* hotel, rather a cheap local pub.
Room was lovely - great size Breakfast was delicious Staff were very friendly made an effort for my girlfriends birthday Hotel was in good location Afternoon Tea delicious You had to cancel massage due to staff sickness but you managed it very well, very apologetic and resolution options provided.
