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 KingdomI didnt realize that breakfast wasnt included, and we felt £18 each was too much, as we only wanted fruit and toast. It would have been good to offer a light breakfast option at a lower cost, as we paid £18 each for very little. The prices for dinner were also high, considering it was served in a cafe style restaurant with no tablecloths or fabric napkins. The surroundings didnt feel top end, but the prices were. The food bill ended up doubling the price of our stay more or less, but there were no other options within easy walking distance
The hotel had been recently refurbished and our room and bathroom were absolutely beautiful. The staff were lovely. The hotel had wonderful location overlooking the sea.

United KingdomI went for fishing off the shore. It is very windy in December! Which I should have checked but just wanted to get out of London. Nothing to do with the hotel! Just be weary, it is VERY windy that time of year so don’t plan on fishing anywhere off the shore.

GermanyWhile our room was perfectly clean, it has perhaps seen better days.
We loved our stay at Housel Bay Hotel. The hotel has an incredible view and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities are very nice with a beautiful breakfast room and a comfy lounge and a bar. The breakfast and the hotel restaurant was amazing. The hotel is perfectly located for nice walks along the costal path. Can highly recommend and will come again one day!

United KingdomThe lampshade in the bedroom is ridiculous. It's far too big and too low and takes over the room. I also think blackout blinds for the bedroom windows would be an idea due to the lighthouse. The light didn't keep me awake but I can imagine it would keep light sleepers awake.
Fantastic hotel. Staff are very friendly and inviting. They really can't do enough for you. The location is stunning, especially when you sit in the window in the 'snug' room. The rooms are decorated to a high standard. The restaurant serves wonderful food. It's like fine dining but in a more relaxed and comfortable environment. Breakfast was also exceptional.
