Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomBed was too soft for my liking, room was a bit stuffy
The location , staff and spa were great. The food was good , the room and bed was perhaps not as nice as a good premier inn but overall I would recommend and definitely stay there again

United KingdomEvery member of staff was polite, helpful and absolutely wonderful. Breakfast was lovely and was the bar & spa. Only criticism would be some parts of the rooms were a little shabby (damp marks walls) considering the price of the room. And we felt the main restaurant dinner was a bit of a let down

United KingdomCleanliness of rooms not great. Not hoovered once during stay even though there were crumbs on floor. Very expensive considering the rooms /bathrooms need an upgrade. Scaffolding set up outside room - although maintenance is essential there was no mention anywhere on the hotel site about the scaffolding which spoilt the view from the room.
Staff were always really helpful. Spa had been renovated and very nice Bar and restaurant area nice and comfortable. Food was exceptional

United KingdomThe bathroom had no character and was very clinical. The room was rather warm (we stayed in January) as there isn’t any air conditioning. Booked at 7am session in the thermal spa and the spa attendant didn’t turn up until 7.15am to let us through
The location is amazing especially the view is the main feature of the hotel, you even get to enjoy this from the hot tub in the spa! You can borrow dry robes which is perfect for the beach and even just going for a walk on a cold day! Staff members were very polite and helpful especially on reception and room service!

United KingdomIt would be wonderful if the prices would be a little less steep , in order for myself and others to stay more often.
The location is quite spectacular, the Sands Hotel being situated in prime location , literally overlooking the picturesque beach and burrows . The potential for swimming, whether one be drawn to the sea , or the swimming pools , is a welcome enhancement to the experience. Julia
