Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 floorboards are squeaky so there was a bit of noise from that. Please be aware, all information regarding Wi Fi password, who to call in an emergency are stuck up behind the door to the room. We were not made aware of this and had a problem the first night with the people in the next room blaring music until 5am. Luckily that was only 1 night the rest of the stay was quiet. We were told there is always someone on sight to deal with problems.Had we been made aware of this when we arrived we would not have had to suffer on our first night put a bit of a downer our holiday.
The Cecil Court Hotel was very clean, room was a double, quite small but comfy. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. Particularly the Portuguese lady who was very helpful & friendly. The location was great, just a short 10 minute walk to the beach, ( watch out for the steps going down to the beach, there’s a lot!). A lovely pub less than 2 minutes away, (The Goat & Tricycle) which served great food.

United KingdomWe had only one towel each provided (no hand towel). The shower was good but only an overhead rainforest style one so take a flannel if you wish, as one is not provided. There were no glasses for water. There was a lovely, three part bay window but the curtains (on poles) didn’t cover the window well and were not blackout, so the room was very light. Luckily, I wear an eye mask!
The overall presentation of the hotel is good. There’s a large bar area and the restaurant/breakfast room is well-appointed. The bed in our room was comfortable but soft so bounced a bit when turning during sleep! The bathroom was very modern and clean.
