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 needed a place to stay which would allow dogs. I was very happy with my stay at The Parks. The room was comfortable and catered for my needs perfectly. Location was ideal for a walk up to the coast as well. John and Inna were very pleasant and welcoming during our stay.

United KingdomNo cooked breakfast. We were the only family staying at the hotel. And they could have made an exception. A good breakfast sets you up for the day.
A cooked breakfast would make a good improvement. Which would certainly interest more family's. We did discuss this with the owner. But they were not over enthusiastic about the Idea. Otherwise the hotel was very clean and comfortable. With adequate parking. And only five minutes walk to the sea front. Would certainly stay again should there be a cooked breakfast.

The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and very tasty, yum yum. The room is one of that we have used before, an excellent improvement this time, and new carpet decorating, and new furniture. The location is easy to get to the seafront through the Abby park. and buses can be found.

We had a wonderful stay. The owners were really welcoming. There was plenty of room to park on site and the location was great, just a little walk to the sea front. The room was beautiful, lovely and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a great selection of items for breakfast. We would certainly stay here again.

United KingdomWe did enjoy the breakfast, even though we prefer a cooked breakfast. But to be fair I asked the owner John if I could have toast even though it was not part of the breakfast he gave us toast over the 2 days we stayed, we didn't have to ask. Continental breakfast was very nice, nice selection of bread rolls croissants & danish pastries. There were a selection of 4 cereals, yoghurts, fruit, fruit juice.
