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 KingdomCould just do with a little TLC. The shower ran hot to cold to hot to cold throughout a shower, but was fine for the length of time we were there.
The location of the property was great, really central, beach on the doorstep, lots of shops and bars close by. The property looks a little dated from outside, and could do with a little TLC, however it was good value for money, clean, and we enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomA lot of stairs to the top floor where we stayed, need to be quite agile. Not sure how secure the locks are on the doors but ok for our needs.
Very basic furnishings and decor but spotlessly clean. A comfy bed and an amazing view of the castle and sea. If you want high end not for you but for the price can't complain. Would I stay again? Yes.

United Kingdom- Shower was a little on the weak side - Hot water in the sinks took an absolute age to arrive from the taps - Sofa in the room was pretty tired and uncomfortable - Really awkward to draw the curtains in the room - could do with polishing the poles a bit!
- Room was light and airy - Really comfortable bed (if maybe a little high off the ground for us!) - Lots of accessible power points - Nice view of the castle - Basic but decent kitchen amenities

United KingdomNot much to say really. It was a budget price and you get what you pay for. I wouldn't bring my other half here for a romantic break but all I wanted was a bed for the night and that's what I got.
Basic but clean accommodation just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Good value.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the Wifi kept dropping out, as did the TV signal, though that may have been because of the very high wind, which made for a very noisy night, since the sash windows rattled constantly.
The location was excellent, the bed was comfortable, and it was lovely to have a room that wasn't too hot. The room itself was spacious, and there was a lovely big shower in the ensuite. The check in arrangements were easy to follow, and the communication with the host was efficient and friendly before hand.

United KingdomInitially difficult to find and couldn't park that close to the hotel. Only coffee in room was sachets of 3 in 1 (coffee with creamer and sugar), not ideal for a strong coffee drinker who doesn't have sugar. Maybe just a couple of sachets of instant coffee would be good. Found curtains difficult to close (and open), don't slide along the poles very easily. Slip mat in shower might be an idea as I had a little skid as I was getting out.
The freedom to come and go at my own times as was supplied with a front door key. Nice and quiet. Hot water bottle was a nice touch, didn't use it but liked the idea. Can't comment on the staff as didn't meet you but your correspondence has always been friendly, informative and helpful.
