Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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 KingdomI looked at the reviews, so on Thurs l took a look for myself and was shocked.It certainly didn't look like a running guest house and as my young grandchildren start it looked like a haunted house and they were terrified to go in. I did call the customer service helpline to explain and they said there's nothing you all could do about it, l was absolute shocked. The whole issue completely messed up the end of my holiday, l am totally unsatisfied.
Nothing, location was ok but that's it , sorry.

United KingdomI've been asked to leave a review but I didn't actually stay this hotel, I booked it and about ten minutes later I had a missed call while at work, attempted to listen to the voicemail but it was a pretty poor quality message but I managed to make out "villa rose room you have booked isn't available as the property is being renovated we have moved your booking to....." Couldn't make out the hotel name, no email to confirm the new hotel, directions nothing. Called the number back and they took forever to even find my booking and when requested they send me the hotel details via email i was told they couldn't send me a confirmation, told the person on the call that I will need the information in writing so I have it to refer to when travelling. I did receive an email in the end. And then to the hotel we were moved to, for the money I paid was not expecting much, never do when booking cheap but took a bath after a day of travelling and then went out, we were in the arcades for 3 hours and when we got back there was still an inch of the bath water draining through, shower the following morning turned into a bath for my feet. Awful drainage and our room was the first in the corridor and the door that opens to go down that hallway just slams constantly. But like I said that's not this hotel because I booked here but got put there so this one may actually be better

United KingdomThis property changed the place i stayed, so I went to the hotel (the dolphin)that you changed me to, and the hotel was unafe at best and honestly unfit for purose. I walked into the reception and was greeted by what I could only describe as a storage room with old mattresses, pillows, bedding etc,I will attach pictures. I went through a door and was met by the next door with broken glass, I proceeded up the stairs to what I can only describe as a mess. Although the bed was clean, nothing else was there was a lock on the connecting door that didn't work. The curtains were not on properly. The tiles in the bathroom were unsafe. The window in the bathroom didn't lock, so anyone could get in at any time. Also, the fire doors were open , and the sliding doors at the back were open. The stairway was dirty. I really do not know how anyone would stay in the property. I spoke to a lady on the phone and she said there was nothing she could do. I want a refund.

United KingdomOnce booking and paying for our stay I waited until the day before and still didn’t receive any information in regards to the self check in service. I had to chase the hotel. After being put through to 3 different people and being on hold for a very long time I was told that my room wasn’t actually available and that they couldn’t obligate my booking. It was “under maintenance”. They then booked me another room at their sister hotel with very little information. The frustration was that nobody had tried to get in touch or let me know any of this. I had to chase them myself and even then nobody could give me any answers. The call centre was in another country so very hard to understand anything that was said given the language barrier. Upon arrival to the new hotel we couldn’t access the building because it was again a self check in service with no reception desk even though we were told otherwise and that there would be somebody there to meet and greet us and show us to our room. Luckily another guest happened to be exiting the building at the same time and let us in otherwise I would have been standing outside with two small toddlers with no entry. The hotel was empty. We managed to find the maintenance guy who told us that the hotel had no hot water and wasn’t fit to keep two children there. He then made some calls and made a booking for another hotel for us down the road. The whole experience with this hotel chain from start to finish was awful. Everything about it was horrific. The customer service, the organisation. Nobody seemed to have a clue what was going on or why there was work being done. Both hotels were horrible, dirty and run down and barely functioning. Nobody was available to speak to. I got passed from post to pillar. I would never recommend this hotel to anybody. It should be shut down!

United KingdomThe property is unihabitable and it was totally unacceptable to accept a booking for this property. We were let down as I only booked it the night before, so the fact that it was in such a state was already known. I expect a full refund and compensation for the inconvenience and upset.
