Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 fact we were moved hotel without any compensation for the price difference.
We didn’t actually stay at Skye oceans hotel due to their heating system being broken we were offered their sister hotel. Sunny days. We lost money due to this change and the sister hotel wasn’t as good as Skye oceans itself. For one night it did the job but it wasn’t very clean or updated.

United KingdomFreezing cold in the room, shower was also cold. The curtains were held on by gaffa tape and the mirror wasn’t able to be used as a mirror as stain over it in bathroom. We got give small towels and 2 sachets of shower gel.
Easy to find and on the promenade. A ton of plug sockets. Was only used for the night to see what Blackpool was like.

United KingdomWe was told the heating would come on at 8am however it still hadn't come on when we checked out. We ran out of milk and asked for some more at 8am, was told some would be brought straight up again this didn't arrive till 20 mins before check out.
We like the location of the hotel as it's roughly in the middle of the things we wanted to do.

United KingdomI booked somewhere that said free parking parking is not free it is £10 and when we arrived there was nowhere to park. The room also had a bling missing and no curtains so you could see straight outside I’m sure you could probably see in when the lights were on. Everything else wasn’t too bad.
Good location on the promenade

United KingdomSadly it's not great - we had to go to reception to ask for toilet roll. Room was on the 3rd floor, lift was out of order. An early escape to get back on the road was not possible as cars are parked first come first served, and there is a protocol of not asking customers to move their cars until 10am. One big issue was no hot water in the shower. I had a (rather!) cold shower at 7.30. Friends of ours staying at the hotel were told on arrival that the hot water came on at 8am. Useful info we could have done with. Last niggle was that the shower or toilet leaked and there was a rotten floor under the lino. So some cosmetic work is needed on this place, but if you're looking for no frills place to lay your head this is fine.
Good location, easy to park on the front. We were looking for a cheap room for 1 night after a football match, this ticked the box. The beds/room were clean, that was all that matter really.

United Kingdomshower floor crazed and cracked in appearance. electric kettle base was firmly glued to its tiny shelf. the awkward curtain rail arrangement (cheap, telescopic rail caught on the curtain rings). and the fact that the curtain rail was loosely DUCT-taped onto the wall and fell down completely all by itself next morning. the very low window sill level in our first floor room ensured a great view of sea but also a great view INTO the room from all points on the pavement/prom, especially the nearby tram stop crowded with people. we felt like we'd accidentally walked on stage when we first entered our room! So we had to draw the full curtains immediately. there was no net-curtaining in place. the bottom sheet was laid directly onto the mattress without anything in-between. the bathroom smelled faintly of vomit. car parking did exist out front for about 15 cars, which was impressive, but was full up and we had big difficulty finding anywhere at all to park. but this was a saturday night and the illuminations were on, and a firework display. but be prepared for big parking probs.
location. it was on the seafront. safety. the fire escape route and fire escape door looked handy when we checked.

United KingdomTHE ROOM WAS WAY TO SMALL, NOWHERE TO SITE TO DO HAIR AND MAKEUP. NOT ENOUGH TEA COFFEE SUGAR FOR THE TWO DAYS. SHOWER, YOU COULDNT TURN AROUND IT WAS THAT SMALL. PLASTER ON THE WALLS WAS COMING OFF AND IM SURE THE ROOM WAS DAMP. THE WINDOW DIDNT CLOSE PROPERLY AND THE CIL WAS HORRIBLE. THE BED COVERED SOME OF THE WINDOW BLOCKING THE ONLY LIGHT YOU COULD HAVE AND THE BLIND HAD NO STRING OR WINDER. YOU HAD TO TURN THE ROLL AT THE TOP TO PUT IT BACK UP.
