Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomAs you entered downstairs there wasn't a very nice smell the rug and sofas could do with a good clean . Upstairs was fine bedding was lovely and clean.. The water in the Upstairs shower didn't drain away very fast the shower tray fills up with water and nearly overflows needs attention. Water also coming up from the back of the toilet waste pipe if it is flushed when the shower tray is still emptying.
Gorgeous views in a great location. Very spacious property with great facilities.

United KingdomJust a few details needed attention. The mirror light in the upstairs bathroom wasn't working and there was no extractor fan. The microwave and dishwasher in the kitchen have clearly been broken for some time. The living room is a little tired, with a tatty coffee table. A pity, because the house is so near to being perfect!
The house is beautifully situated on the harbour near the great Steam Packet pub. The two upstairs bedrooms are lovely, with great views over the sea, as well as being very comfortable.. The kitchen is large and well equipped and we appreciated the outside area with its lovely flowers.

United KingdomThe bed was a tad firm for me, but it was fine (and the bedrooms were lovely spaces). There's a gap under the front door, which was fine for us in May, but I imagine this could be draughty in autumn or winter!
The house was peaceful, cosy and well decorated. The living room was really comfy and pleasant to hang out in. The kitchen had plenty of utensils etc. for home cooking. The location is stunning – you walk out the back gate and onto the sea path, and the pub/restaurant is literally two doors up. Parking was easy out front, and the keypad lock was simple to use and convenient for four people coming and going.

United KingdomLarger bath sized towels would have been appreciated. Plus there was no shelves/dressing tables in the upstairs bathroom or bedrooms for storing toiletries. That said the downstairs bathroom was huge with plenty of space.
Clean, peaceful and bright with great facilities and beautiful view across the harbour and easy access to walks. Comfy beds and cosy sitting room. Perfect for a weeks trip.

United KingdomBeds in the ground floor bedroom were a little uncomfortable, but that probably had more to do with my back condition. Washing machine wasn't working. These were only minor niggles; they didn't negatively impact our own stay but are included for the owners consideration.
The property is very well equipped and catered for all of our needs. Set in a quaint fishing village it is the perfect bolthole for a quiet holiday/weekend break. Great views over the harbour and beyond. Stunning scenery across the region. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

GermanyVery tastefully furnished house. Although we only stayed for one night, you can easily spend several days here. A pub with good food is right next to the house. You have a very nice view over the harbor. There is also a small terrace behind the house. Communication with the hosts via email was very uncomplicated and pleasant.
