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 KingdomOnly negative was no food-heating facilities, but being able to bring food in made up for that.
I liked that the facilities (toilet and shower) were contained in the room. The tea, coffee, and kettle were appreciated touches, even if I didn't avail them. Room was fairly spacious given the en suite facilities. WiFi worked a charm. Key system was easy to grasp. Staff were both informative and friendly. As I was visiting to see Judas Priest play, I appreciated the proximity to the venue. Room was cheap in price only—definitely great value. Would definitely consider again if visiting Bournemouth.

United KingdomI can’t really complain about anything apart from the floor being creaky but that can’t be helped also maybe could have done with a few more cushions.
Was greeted by the receptionist who was super friendly with the biggest smile 😀 Our room was bright and spacious, the bed was comfortable and was just a short distance from the beach/town centre which was perfect .

United KingdomI thought the communal area could be a bit more cosy and welcoming. It would also be really useful to have a self catering kitchen, for the lower end scale of hotels, eating out is fun but can be very expensive when it's 3 meals a day.
I thought the shower was excellent, and the bed was clean and well presented. The location was also very good, close to the town center.

United KingdomThat I had to leave.
The whole experience, from the initial friendly greeting (consistent with all the staff, throughout my stay) to the very comfortable bed and peaceful surroundings. The breakfast was more than adequate and beautifully cooked. Location of the hotel was ideal, for me, as I was attending the BIC and a drop down to the centre of Bournemouth. However, the walk back(uphill) could be a challenge for those less fit than I.

United KingdomNothing at all.
I had a spacious and comfortable room, with fast wifi. Every morning I received a stock of milk and sugar for my tea/coffee. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach. Making it easy for me to walk to the beach every morning to catch the sunrise and every evening to watch the sunset. Overall, my experience was amazing
