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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike whatsoever about our stay
We stayed at Number 29 for three nights in August. The accommodation was immaculately clean, a short walk from the train and beach. Our room was spacious and perfect temperature, with such a comfortable bed. We were greeted with delicious slices of homemade lemon drizzle upon in our room upon arrival. There were plenty of plenty of breakfast options, which was also delicious and also included homemade bread and banana bread. This was made by the host, Chris, who is very friendly, welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had the most perfect stay.

United KingdomBreakfast is served from 8.30 to 9.00 which is rather late for us (even on holiday) although Christine is more than willing to provide it earlier on request, for example on departure days. A nice outdoor seating area for guests would be a great addition.
Close to bus and train stations for easy access. Very helpful host and lovely breakfast. Very clean.

United KingdomWe chose not to use the parking offered at the property. The space was very restricted; we were generally able to find kerb-side parking space nearby.
Location was very good. The breakfast choice was extensive and cooked to order. The fridge in the room offered a generous space, and flexibility to enable us to provide our own picnic lunches.

The hosts were very friendly and able to offer advice on the local area. The room was extremely clean, quiet and comfortable. Little extras like home made cake on arrival, and a small fridge with fresh milk for coffee and chilled water made it a very welcoming experience. Breakfast was made to order with a wide choice available. Everything I had was fresh and good quality, including fruit salad and home made bread.
