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 KingdomThe house slept 6 , but there were only 3 place mats and 4 coasters on the dining table. A lovely range cooker but no oven gloves, and no tea towels . 10 light bulbs throughout the house needed replacing. None of the portable electrical appliances had an up to date PAT sticker, the microwave did have a PAT sticker which was 5 years out of date. Directly above the bath is a chandelier that you clonk your head on when climbing out! Rather disappointing.
The hot tub was lovely , we all enjoyed it. The property was only a short walk down to the beach.

United KingdomLocation of the bathroom is a major issue. It is off the main bedroom so when two couples stay it's not appropriate to be walking through their bedroom to use the bathroom. It is advertised as 2 bathrooms but there is only 1 bathroom and a downstairs toilet, again a problem when numerous people are sharing this spacious property. The sofas and seating are stained and rock hard and uncomfortable. We put pillows and duvets from spare beds on them to make them better. On rugs downstairs there were stains and smells. Outdoor doesn't have table and chairs as on pictures, needs relaxing garden furniture to enjoy whilst outside in the hot tub. Lighting outside isn't working so not great for evening alfresco relaxing. Needs an overall facelift/tidy up. This house is in a residential area. Parking is a bit difficult at times and we had a neighbour issue.
The landlord was very pleasant and really tried to help us after we'd had a problem at a previous holiday let. The hot tub was great. Great sized kitchen with everything you needed. A house with character and some nice features. Comfortable beds and spacious bedrooms. Stunning bathroom and spacious. All upstairs rooms clean and comfy. TV downstairs is great. Huge dinning table. Great for families or larger groups. This house is very spacious and very close to the sea and a great location to reach other places easily. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and has a great beach bar/restaurant called 'needles eye'. Lovely food and atmosphere.

United KingdomThe toilet seat and lock on the bathroom door were broken which has been noted in previous reviews but not repaired. The sofas looked lovely but were not very comfortable. It could have done with a few extra basics such as hand wash and a few more toilet rolls - it was not a problem as we bought these anyway.
Good location nearby to the beach, shops and pubs. The hot tub was nice and also clean. The double beds were comfy and the house had a lovely bathroom. It had a very homely feel and was good value for money.

United KingdomMattresses on all beds are awful. Couches in living room even worse. Extremely uncomfortable. These 2 areas really let the property down. Chandelier above the bath tub looks nice but is a terrible idea. Kept hitting our heads on it. The larger bed should be in the room with the bathroom. My back pain worsened drastically during our stay as there was nowhere comfy to lie down or sit (apart from the hot tub!) fridge door doesn’t close properly and needs fixed. Toilet seat also needs tightened. Too many lightbulbs needing replaced. This property has so much potential to be extra special if it was kept to a higher standard.
Great sized house. Great location. House very warm. Hot tub relaxing. Bathroom a dream. Big kitchen with great oven. We loved the layout, especially the kitchen into dining room then into living room. Felt we were all together even when in separate rooms doing our own thing. We enjoyed the big dining table for meals and family activities. There is a nice big shower which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. The hot tub has speakers and lights.

United KingdomIt would have been good to have a welcome pack with instructions on how to use anything (such as the hot tub, TV, WiFi etc). We worked everything out eventually although still have no idea if we were meant to have added any chemicals to the hot tub. There were lots of bits and pieces in need of repair - light bulbs not working, wallpaper peeling off walls, doors not closing properly. None of these were major issues or prevented us from enjoying our stay but they seem like things that could be easily fixed. The main bathroom is accessed through the master bedroom. Whilst this was fine for us, as we are a family, it may not work so well for others. It would have been good for this to be noted in the description details.
The property was spacious and comfortable. The jacuzzi was a lot of fun. Being walking distance to the beach and shops was really handy.

United KingdomWhen we first went in it smelt as if it had been locked up for a while. We also noticed that it was quite dusty, and there was some rubbish under the sofa. The kitchen could be better equipped as there was only one wine glasses, and I think some plastic glasses would be good for outside.
The house was in a good location, the hottub was a lovely extra, and was safe for our dog in the garden. The upstairs bathroom was lovely, it worked for us as only two of us, not sure how it would work with other couples as you have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom.

United KingdomHowever, despite all that was amazing, the place is very let down by a number of relatively small things. If you read all the previous comments on issues, they all still apply. Even what I would regard as a safety necessity, oven gloves, were not provided. I would say read the negatives and assume they still apply! Absolutely not a two bathroom property. Not an issue for us, but if two couples went the only bathroom is ensuite to bed one! There is a downstairs wc but that is it. Having said all that, we would go again tomorrow but just pack accordingly.
What a gorgeous victorian terraced house. If it was just the house and its location I'd give it full marks. Unfortunately it isn't. Didn't have any real issues with parking and a very short walk to the beach made for a wonderful time for our son and dogs. Rock pooling, climbing rocks, skimming stones and paddling on the beach. Wonderful.

United KingdomThe house did not match the description in Booking.com. There is no sea view. Only one bathroom, which was an ensuite, meant other guests had come through your bedroom to access the bathroom. Only 3 wine glasses for a house for 6 guests, and one glass being plastic. No basic supplies left in the cupboards. No handsoap in toilet. Bedside lamps without corresponding sockets. Instruction book did not contain correct information for WiFi connection. Musty smell in the house. Oven and grill very greazy. Garden dirty with poorly maintained furniture. Only 1 light working in garden (out of 4) Dog next door growled and barked whenever anyone in the garden. Front garden of house next door had old kitchen dumped in it.
