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 KingdomRoom soundproofing let it down. We had a first floor room at the front of the hotel and entertainment noise from the hotel opposite was something to consider, together with other room fire doors slamming as guests don't always have the thought patterns for others!
Lovely room with everything we needed including an espresso machine and bottled water. Very nice finish with room decor. Very good shower with large walk-in enclosure. Location perfect for beach and town

United KingdomThere were a few niggles. The fire door just outside our room banged loudly every time someone went through it. The only plug socket that you could use for the kettle was by the window sill which meant the kettle had to be boiled on there. And the housekeeping team didn’t fill up on tea coffee and milk used daily.
Great location. Very clean and modern designs.

United KingdomUnfortunately draft beer wasn’t working. Prices for a drink were very pricey! 2nd morning for breakfast was buffet & not menu choice. We originally booked a classic double & the room was very basic, bed very uncomfortable, full of dust, toilet was constantly on the flow! So we paid an additional £20 for an upgrade which was much better !
Location is great! Staff were lovely! Upgraded room was much nicer

United KingdomWhen we arrived the beer pumps were off , so we asked for a bottle cold beer to be told the fridges weren’t working. They advised they can’t be prepared until after Easter. We stayed Sunday till Wednesday and still not fixed . The reason we choose this hotel was to sit and relax in the bar with a few drinks , so sadly wasn’t as enjoyable as previous stays .

United KingdomThe blinds were slightly broken in our room, which made it difficult to sleep as the early morning sun came flooding in at 6am, plus the outdoor lights were left on which made it impossible to sleep the first night. ( they were turned off the other two nights) The room felt dusty as there was dust all over the walls in our room, plus there was a lot of damp behind the wardrobe. If you have allergies I suggest you ask for a higher room not a downstairs one like we had. The lady we spoke to about the issues, tried to be helpful but she was working alone and couldn’t actually fix the problem and said they were fully booked so couldn’t move us to another room. This is our second stay here as we loved the first time, however, sadly won’t be returning again. It feels like it could do with a refurbishment as lots of pictures missing from walls and slightly less comfortable than last time.
Great location, close walking distance to town and beach. Parking not an issue.

United StatesBreakfast to order was available on the first day and it was excellent, but on the 2nd and 3rd mornings a hot breakfast was put out on a buffet and it wasn't as nice. On the third day, they ran out of toast.
Breakfast was good, the room was fine and the bathroom was large and modern. The air/ heat didn't seem to work but the room temperature was fine. My husband left his jacket in the bar and the staff went out of their way to make sure he got it back. We were very grateful.

United KingdomWe went for breakfast first morning ( Easter Sunday) at 9.45 and very little hot food left, no bread. Breakfast ends 10.30. Lovely lady (working alone) got fresh eggs and bacon for a few people after asking. Second day breakfast far more organised , two staff working, so assume was due to minimal staff on the Sunday. Food was good( usual breakfast fare). Only issue with room was an exceptionally noisy extractor fan with bubbling paint around it.. an easy fix. If we needed to stay in Bournemouth again would definitely revisit orchid.
Despite being a double, we had good space, bedroom area fairly small but cute alcove with dressing table, separate lobby with wardrobe, tea making, coffee machine. Comfy bed. Huge bathroom! Staff were lovely! Nice lobby area, only used bar once. Really close (ten mins) to beach/town/restaurants.
