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 KingdomLovely small hotel in Bournemouth, good location just a few minutes to the beach and not far from the pier and town centre. Lovely big room, quiet and good breakfast, especially the home made marmalade, yummy! Also great that they are dog friendly.

United KingdomWhen we arrived, we were not sure if it was the right place since the outside looked run down.
When we rang the bell, a nice man gives us a warm welcome he was very kind and let us book in early. The breakfast was excellent.

FranceLack of charm in the deco, not warm enough in our view. While located next to the beach, the area is not clean and there are lots of homeless all around the property. The location is at the back of the house of many tall buildings which is either not warm for Bournemouth
Family run B&B, located next to the beach

IrelandCleanliness in some areas of the hotel wasn't great, crumbs under table in bedroom. A large amount of stacked chairs in the breakfast room I could understand but it doesn't look great. They were really nice comfy chairs though, but the ironing board stacked in corner looked bad. The garden view we had was nice but the garden looked untidy. And the patch job in the ceiling of the dining room understandable but looked like it had been there a while.
Family room was very large with plenty of space, mini Fridge in room, tea coffee etc. Nice layout, good bed linen, Really great decent size towels in the bathroom. Not a fan of tiny towels after a shower/bath. Hot breakfast was good, nice delph etc. Good Location near beach easy walking distance to the Pier.

Location was perfect for the town and seafront. Host was very welcoming the room was very comfortable slightly small but ideal for our stay. Breakfast was very good and the young member of staff serving was very pleasant.

United KingdomThe room was big, with a large bathroom. Both were spotless. Car parking is a bonus and the location is good for walking to the Prom, Beach and Town. Excellent selection for breakfast and cooked to order. We went for twin beds, that were very comfortable and we had 2 nights solid sleep. We were grateful for an early check-in at 12 which gave us a free afternoon. Unfortunately, the TV reception was poor and made a loud clicking noise, that couldn't be fixed. Not a big issue,but nice to relax with after a day out.
