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 KingdomThere are no staff there so you have to get a keycode for your room and the front door which you don't get till the day. I was bombarded with texts and emails expressing their delight at me staying there, over a dozen in total I think. The bathroom might have been comfortable for a hobbit but not human beings unfortunately. No parking or advice for same.
The room was pleasant and sunny, it was quiet at night and reasonably convenient for town.

United KingdomKids had better mattresses and firmer pillows than us adults. How the adult room had been arranged had to climb over each other to get to the otherside room/bed. Could barely adjust the TV due to the aerial cable being short so soon as you moved the TV you'd lose all channels. Shower felt like you was gonna go fall through and couldn't close the shower door properly with out ripping it off the wall as it had been siliconed/mastic to the wall.
Ideal location close to everything with beach on your doorstep

United KingdomThe fact that it states the building has daily cleaning but yet my son was sick on Friday night due to food poisoning and the sheets were not changed and we had to take our own rubbish to the bins ourself and buy our own toilet roll and tea sugar and milk that was suppose to be provided. Everytime we flushed the toilet water would come up out of the shower and leave loads of sand in it which we then had to clean out
The location and easy access to the building and rooms

United KingdomAfter reading the reviews, I already was prepared, beds had clean bedding, tea and coffee provided and towels, however the bathroom was dirty, dents in the walls and the shower tray could do with a good scrub, it's a shame because some of it, is cosmetic and for a few quid could change an opinion, however for what we paid it was what it was!!!

United KingdomNoise and the lack of staff to deal with any problems
Very loud residents that made it impossible to sleep .the mattress was filthy , room adequate . The biggest disappointment was that there is no staff to deal with any problems . The foreigners in the next room needed dealing with and nothing was forthcoming . Mattress protectors and fitted sheets would be an improvement .ripped dirty net curtains in the room . It's a tired venue that is in dire need in a lick of paint . It's a shame because the location is great .I'm glad to be home to get a good night's sleep . All reviews are around about the same and much improvement is required .the venue has so much potential and it's a shame .even small details like bedside lights not working
