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 KingdomCooked Breakfast was great, table service was a nice change from buffet style breakfasts but would have appreciated hot drinks/juices to be self service so I could have had a couple of cups of coffee and would have also liked a bigger offering of breakfast pastries/croissants
Didn’t expect such a magnificent room! It was slightly tired but huge, the bed/mattress super comfortable, I would have liked to bring the pillows home! Room was clean, bedding fresh, bathroom nice and big. Location was good with nice garden grounds and about 10 minutes walk from the beach. Dog friendly and lovely staff, no issues whatsoever

United KingdomI was able to leave my luggage. I arrived very early and left the following afternoon but I didn't consider that the area where I put my suitcase was secure. It is a pity there was nowhere luggage could be securely left eg locked cupboard. I would have been happy to pay a small fee.
Excellent location. Walking distance from railway station. Good parking if required. Lovely sunny garden to sit in. Near both beach and town centre. I have stayed here before and would recommend.

AustraliaNo lift. It’s a struggle for elderly travelers with luggage. Smell of bleach cleaning products, while encouraging, was a bit overpowering. Toilet roll was small & no spare. Dinner for vegetarian - limited choice & tempura vegetables were difficult to get a fork into.
Location was good. Garden lovely. Breakfast was very good even for vegetarian

United KingdomNeed to have an area around the bar not just for dogs which I love but for lounging after dinner . The 2 sofas used to be next to the big fireplace in the dining area which was fantastic. However the area near the bar is perfect. It’s almost as though they don’t want people in the bar area 🤷♀️
Breakfast was excellent and loved the whole stay

United KingdomPeople talking and opening and closing doors after 2.00am I just couldn’t get back to sleep! I had travelled 300 miles and was attending a funeral the next day and then driving 300 miles home so was quite important to sleep, it was whispering chit chat. A heart breakfast certainly woke me up though, and the staff were so attentive and friendly!
Beautiful and charming hotel - loved it!

United KingdomThe food situation was a bit hit and miss, especially breakfast. Breakfast was included in the price so I think we definitely got value for money. It's not that the food wasn't good. Food at night was lovely. It's just that the breakfast options weren't great. Now part of the problem was probably the weather which had hampered deliveries so it's not a deal breaker in terms of a return visit. It was just a wee bit disappointing.
The room was gorgeous with a lovely view. The hotel was gorgeous. Staff were friendly. Great value for money. Loved being close to the beach and would love to be there in summer when we could access the garden.
