How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The hotel was immaculately clean. And if you want some well earned peace and quiet this is the hotel to go to. The host Stephen is polite and welcoming. And if you decide to have breakfast you will not be disappointed, it was delicious and sets you up for the day ahead. We will definitely return.

Nothing I can think off. It delivered what it said on the tin at really good prices. The hotels closer to town were £60-80 more without breakfast.
Located just back a little from the main Dickson Road and Lord Street(s) and walkable to the Blackpool North Train Station (The Blackpool Tower end of Lord Street), this lovely hotel was ideal for our weekend stay. National Express coach was half the price of the train and took us to Blackpool Tower coach station in the same time it takes the train). The double room was more than adequate and tea and coffee and fridge facilities added to the value. The host was very accommodating (the coach got delayed in the Manchester Bank Holiday traffic and we arrived later than we said, but I texted forward and was told 'no problems' and it seems nothing phases the host who has done this for many years. Laid back and humerous the host added to the pleasure of staying there. Breakfast was very good and set us up for the day. The only compliment I can pay is to answer 'would I stay here again?'; absolutely. Apart from slightly high initial entry steps it's huge advantage was an internal lift to each floor (we were on the top floor (room 14) and my partner has mobility issues with regards to climbing stairs). There are good little stores on nearby Dickson Road (5 minute walk) and you are 3-4 minuntes walk from the Promenade/beach with tram stops (and bus stops on Dickson Road, heading into town direction). £6 in a taxi from the coach station (I'd advise taking a taxi if you can and have heavy cases and UBER is available, but heavily used lol). Thank you Sussex for a lovely weekend and all your help.

If you were to find things to do better, the price would need to go up! I would not change a thing.
It was a nice clean, affordable hotel, and the hosts could not do enough for you! It fitted the bill perfectly!

I booked the room mostly because I need a fridge in the room for my medication and also to keep my drinks cool. The fridge in the room did not work that well and was not really cold. The shower was very low pressure wise, there was a slight problem with getting the right Wi-Fi codes at the beginning it was eventually resolved
Breakfast was great. very accommodating as I have dietary issues. The room was very nice, very clean. It was close to Blackpool North Station, and a short walk to the tram stop on the promenade, Shops and places of interest were not far away. Meeting there resident cat was great.
