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 KingdomVery comfortable and homely, the owners were lovely and helpful for us and very accommodating. Breakfast was amazing and an all round fabulous place to stay with the kids. When we left we were given water bottles for each of us and sweets for the kids to have on our journey home. Would definitely recommend and will be staying there again in the future.

United KingdomJane and Stephen certainly made you feel like you were going home from home, very friendly, and got a call a few hours before check-in letting us know we could be earlier if needed. Great communication. Breakfast was fabulous, and the mini eggs were a lovely touch. Great hosts, fabulous accommodation, very comfy, warm, and in a great location. Thank you for having us.

United KingdomIt gets cold in the room at night when the heating must go off.. could do with thicker curtains as the sun rises it's very light in the room. However that could be because we are used to it being darker where we live..
Stephen and Jane are always so welcoming and friendly.. You always get a bottle of water when u leave for your journey home.. Their breakfast is so yummy 😋 and enough of it.. I have only stayed In the twin room so can't comment on the others.. But the room is clean and the beds are comfy with plenty of storage.. I Would and have recommended them to others Thanks guys see u again soon

United KingdomI would have liked a longer stay to relax and enjoy the facilities in The Croydon
We had a warm, cosy and quiet ensuite room. We could park safely at the rear of the property. It was ideal for us because we enjoy walking and really relished the lovely stroll from The Croydon right down to the Wetherspoons at the other end of the prom, about 3 miles. It was the run-up to Christmas and the atmosphere was buzzing, with a German Market, and of course the lights were splendid. Jane gave us a warm welcome and was really attentive to our needs. The breakfast was just perfect, full-English with the option of black pudding, often missed nowadays, fresh tea-pot tea, coffee refills and much more on offer. The Croydon is now my first choice for future Blackpool visits.
