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 KingdomThe sofas in the lounge need updating as well as some of the items of furniture in the bedroom and the bathrooms could do with an update, but saying that the value for money to stay in this beautiful building is very good. A proper coffee machine would be very much appreciated at breakfast rather than filtered coffee. Bedroom corridor lighting is a bit too bright and less light would give more ambience. The changing area for the spa could be improved. This is a stunning hotel with so much potential.
The location is fantastic and the views from the balcony rooms are stunning. Room sizes on the large double Seaview balcony room were good and very nice. Features. Hotel has so much potential, it is really beautiful. There is a feeling of old world Grandeur but it could do with an update. This could definitely be a five star destination hotel with some improvements.

United KingdomTired decor, dozy girl on reception didn't answer internal phone so l had to go downstairs to ask for help opening terrace doors. She was talking to her friend and said she hadn't heard the phone. The staff we saw were very young - students l think - and lacked training and supervision. The flag on top of the hotel has totally frayed down to half of the Cornish flag. This was quite a good metaphor, somehow.
Friendly staff, beautiful terrace. Exceptionally helpful groundsman opened the terrace doors in the bedroom which were stuck. Stunning views of the sea. Very nice pool and gym looked ok

United KingdomAlthough we paid to stay at the hotel, we couldn't eat there on the Friday evening due to a coach tour arriving. So we couldn't eat in the hotels restaurant, although we were staying at the hotel. Also early hours of both mornings of our stay, 03.30 hours the heating system kicked in and woke us up due to quite a noisy knocking sound. This noise lasted 30 to 45 mins on both days.
A good choice of Breakfast, full English and various cereal to choose from. Also toast if you wanted

United KingdomIt was full of workmen which took the shine off the property. Lots of people smoking outside the entrance so you’d have to walk through a plume of smoke to come in or out. Bar staff member rude :(
Very regal and loved the relaxed bar everywhere. Our room was very spacious and well appointed.
