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.).

I asked my son What did you like? He answered "Everything! The bed was soft, the food was amazing, the walls were thick as he couldn't hear anything from any other room, Tommy and Diane were cool, friendly and helpful. Oh and Tommy is a really good painter" I agree with all of that. Exceptional place to stay. So very close to shops and sea front too. Beautiful friendly place.

The hospitality shown by Diane & tommy was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble for them. They explained about the transport and how to get around without using your car so you could have a total relax. The breakfast and cleaniness of the b & b was outstanding we were sorry to leave and will return.

IsraelWe could not identify anything worth pointing out. Well done.
A lovely couple managing a lovely bed and breakfast. This is the only stay in the UK in which we gave a 10/10 score and it is well deserved. The owners did the outmost to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. The room suited our needs and expectations and the location is short walking distance from the beach activities. We came by car and the owners made sure we have a place to park during our stay. Breakfast was excellent as well.

United KingdomTommy and Dianne were probably the most hospitable, friendly hosts we’ve ever stayed with. Nothing was too much trouble. They went out of their way to make our stay perfect. From delicious, cooked to order breakfasts, to information on the best places to visit. The latter, given our limited time there, was invaluable. The room was spacious and well thought out. I’ve never seen so much cupboard/draw space, my experience in the past has always found rooms to be lacking in such detail. Location wise it was perfect. An easy walk from the station and the town.

Diane and Tommy were exceptional hosts. They were friendly, helpful and were a real pleasure to stay with. They gave us lots of local information rewarding restaurants and local trips etc. Nothing is too much trouble. Diane’s cooking was superb and her housekeeping impeccable. The place is spotless. While Diane sorts the morning breakfasts Tommy keeps the guests entertained with his magic Great fun. A bit of an artist too. We’ve been to many guest houses in our time and this was, by far, the most enjoyable. We will definitely come back. Thank you guys, we really appreciated it.
