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 KingdomNo tea or coffee was in the room when it was advertised as having so. The shower was a bit under pressure. Beds mattress was uncomfortable do had to improvise by laying some of the towels supplied on top to ease the uneasy feel of the mattress springs. Some guests had kids who were running around the hotel unsupervised. The proprietor wasn't aware of my attendance as I had to fully explain what I came for, and he seemed a bit lost. Was at first given twin room on back, but once I addressed the booking again being a sea view room, he had kindly swapped it for me. Hotel in general could do with a refurbishment or re decoration in rooms as looked dated.
Breakfast was nicely cooked. Shower worked perfectly Room was as expected in terms of having sea view.

United KingdomNot much about this hotel was to sing about,other than the manager/owner tried their best and it was clean. We were doing a long walk and was happy to find anywhere that was dry and had a bed. The owner, the only person we saw throughout, had major on going health issues. Although we admired his fortitude, trying to run a large, high maintenance hotel would be demanding for younger person. In the nicest possible way it would be better for all concerned if the manager /owner retired.
It was clean.

United Kingdom1. Rooms and specially toilets should need a bit repair work. 2. Breakfast times are from 8-8.30, which should be changed. Most of the people are coming for holidays and shouldn’t be rush for breakfast in the morning.
1. We have got the sea view rooms, though the views were obstructed as like the pics. 2. Stuffs were very good, specially John. He is full of humour. 3. Also, hotel’s reception/lobby is fantastic, you literally can spend hours sitting there.

United KingdomWell it’s cheap for a reason. I’ve stayed in some bad hotels but this is definitely in that category. Dirty room. Shower minging and must be the smallest space I’ve showered in. No tea or coffee. Room stunk of damp. Two sharing and had to shuffle past each other. Bed not comfy. One pillow the thickness of a wafer. Breakfast well all I can say the toast was decent. Cooked breakfast well wasn’t cooked. Decor in dire need of upgrade I would definitely not recommend this to anyone. Not even the homeless. STAY WELL CLEAR.

United KingdomVery dated inside, pillows were a complete waste of time (flat and cheap) and the bedroom was too small for a double. Being refused orange juice at breakfast was shocking.. apparently it was only for children! Sausages were cheap and nasty, toast was half done and cold...Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone and certainly won't be visiting again!

United KingdomThe shower wasn't very powerful and not too stable - usable, but could have been better.
The breakfast was excellent - as long as you liked the full English - couldn't fault it. The cereal options were a bit basic - cornflakes or Weetabix, we didn't use these so couldn't comment further as to whether we could state a preference for anything else. Breakfast, was hot, fresh and had a ready supply of toast. The staff were very friendly. John (the owner?), as other people have stated in the comments could seem a bit terse/abrupt, but I didn't have a problem with his manner - once you knew what to expect and took him as you found him, he was a lovely man and was happy to help. I asked for an additional pillow and found we all had one by the time we got back that evening. The room was, rustic/quirky. I personally didn't have a problem with it and would be happy to stay again - it all depends on your expectations, some people may find it too basic, but I thought it was fine. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of space in the room and lots of storage in our room: a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a three drawer bedside table - more than when I've stayed at 4 star hotels! Close to beach and high street and other attractions to just a short drive away. The car-park was also a bonus!
