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.).

GermanyWhen we arrived at the property we noticed the following issues which were partly addressed: - Towel with red stains (replaced the next morning) - Kettle with burned black substance inside (replaced the next morning) - Pipe to rainshower head in bathroom was no longer supported by the wall bracket (lose fixtures in the wall), water leaking from mixer tap - not fixed during our stay - Curtains dirty and stained, edges torn There is no lift at the property and as a result you need to be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs into the upper floors. In general the property could benefit from some TLC and the concept of an unmanned operation with unlocked front door (despite CCTV in place) where anyone could walk in may not suit everyone. Overall we expected a little bit more than what we experienced at this room rate.
Location right next to the sea is a memorable experience, when gale force winds are hitting the windows from the Irish Sea. The beach is great for a walk and even a swim. We had a good night's sleep and the beds were comfortable. The housekeeping lady we met in the morning was very friendly. We made good use of the EV charger (three phase 11/22 KW which is definitely better than expected albeit very high unit cost 80p). The railway line next-door is lightly used and the DMUs are relatively quiet so haven't affected our stay. As a suggestion: Since there are no breakfast options on site you could set up a self catering kitchen so that guests can prepare there own breakfast in the morning without having to find another place.

United KingdomBreakfast was served in their other hotel "a minute down the road" but as it was a work trip there was no time for faffing about going to another hotel to eat. Paid for breakfast but after contacting the hotel to ask why it wasn't available, I wasn't offered a refund. The breakfast arrangements should have been made clear before / during the booking process.

United KingdomThe bedlinen was badly marked. The fridge had been disconnected meaning it wasn't great at keeping things cool. The curtains were woefully inadequate. the carpet was bleach marked in spots. The property is quite dated (nothing wrong with that really) but the ashtray at the entrance is over flowing and nobody on site mainly.
The location was ideal for anyone who drives. It has magnificent views if you get a room with sea views. It is a warm property. It was quiet when we were there, which was ideal to sleep. There were plenty of plugs.
