How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe position was great! Unfortunately The breakfast was ok but not great! The view was great! We had dinner and it was ok!
It was old and tired and in need of a renovation! The original room was small and we were given a bigger room with two single beds! The internet was very poor and only worked in certain lounge areas of the hotel!

Verified reviewHistoric hotel with character. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for what we needed (24 hour stay on the Isle)
Cleanliness of the bathroom - this might have been due to the reno's currently happening at the hotel.

The room smelt, perhaps of new paint as the hotel had maintenance going on during our stay.

Verified reviewGlorious old hotel with all of the charm that such architectural beauties hold. Step back in time in a good way! Gardens were gorgeous and the views amazing. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Bar was great and the food looked delicious. Breakfast was a well stocked self serve buffet.
Nothing, just wished we had eaten at the hotel as it looked great.

Verified reviewBeautiful old hotel with spectacular views over the bay. We had a room with duel aspect views. Very comfortable rooms with lovely traditional furniture. Beds super comfortable. Really tasty breakfast with everything you could want. Perfect eggs and brilliant hash browns. The staff were so helpful and kind. Will definitely return. Such good value.
Parking is limited as restoration work is being carried out but that is our only negative comment.

All the steps up to the hotel and lack of parking but little to be done due to its setting which was also part of its charm .

Verified reviewThe location and views were stunning staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and the hotel was dog friendly.
No bar lunches and bar was closed till 3pm. Bedroom door was so miss shaped we had to put towels in the gap to shut out light from hallway. I had ro instal toilet seat when we arrived and even then it didn't fit properly. In my opinion the rooms need an upgrade
