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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThe mattresses were a little uncomfortable and felt a little too well used, and the pool lacked any decent lighting making it feel unwelcoming even though the changing rooms were very clean and the showers excellent. There was no walk in showers only over bath showers which were unsuitable for our elderly mother so we had to take her along to the showers in the pool changing rooms. Not ideal.
We had an apartment attached to the hotel, it was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed for a self catering long weekend away. The heaters worked efficiently and quickly for chilly nights, and there was plenty of hot water. There was a TV in each bedroom so we could all do our own thing. The wifi was good. The apartment had a small terrace and faced the estuary which was absolutely wonderful. We had a very minor problem with the kitchen equipment and the hotel receptionist sorted it immediately.

Fixed shower head difficult for shampooing ladies' hair, but otherwise a good shower experience. Tea and coffee machines good, but not very tasty coffee.

United KingdomWas told the day before our booking that the pool was open and at 25 degrees. I contact hotel to ask if discount would be given as pool too cold to use. We were told they are pumping hot water into The pool so it would heat up over weekend. When we got there Saturday afternoon the pool was still 25 degrees and too cold to use. Very disappointed as we would have booked elsewhere knowing we couldn’t use the pool. No offer For the inconvenience this caused us

United KingdomThe decor is showing it age, some areas in the room need to be looked at, the grout and seals around the bath/shower and the window had a broken seal that you could feel a draft through when the curtain were not drawn. But for the price I will be happy to book again
The location to where we needed to be was spot on. The room view was exceptional. A good choice of eateries and the food was very good even with allergies. The staff were so friendly and always smiling, when we asked for a bath mat to be changed it was done quickly. We were giving our room when we arrived but when we got there we were told it had failed the inspection and they moved us to a different room, this is good to see.
