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 KingdomSwimming pool was dirty with way too much chlorine in it causing our eyes to start to sting.we only had 1 towel for 2 of us for 2 days. I know it's an old hotel but alot of the floor was really creaky. It's was really warm in the room although we had a fan one of the windows was screwed closed so couldn't get much fresh air in
The breakfast was good and location was very good

United KingdomThe room was basic and the bed was comfortable but was cleaned by a lovely lady who also doubled up as a waitress in the breakfast room hence the comment of more staff. Most days the room was not serviced until late afternoon.this is not aimed at the staff but the management. We were disturbed on Saturday night by a function that was at the hotel until the early morning and when we complained we were told that the people had paid for the function and the hotel could do nothing about it. When I pointed out that we also had paid for some comfort that fell on stony ground. The hotel on the whole is badly in need of refurbishment.
The breakfast was good for the price and the hotel was close to the beach.the staff was excellent and friendly but they need More of them to function properly,

United Kingdomour first night coincided with a wedding reception at the hotel, and the music was so loud it shook the walls and floor until 1 a.m., which made it hard to rest.
The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, each equipped with a TV for entertainment.

United KingdomReally needs to be updated our rooms where awful. My bed was like a rock ,stained duvets old fashioned yellow tinged bath mat.old bath curtain. Old rattly radiators paint, peeling of it. Wallpaper very dated and peeling furniture had seen better days. Curtains old and needed a wash. Old hairdryer with gaffer tape on. Carpet absolutely filthy and stained.all woodwork skirts and door frames heavily chipped and worn. It felt grubby but we just had to put up with it as we had already changed rooms as our original request to be near eachother was accepted and I was told they could accommodate us but didn't. It took me and my daughter 25 minutes to find the room they had put us at the back of beyond so I did complain and we where moved . My husband and sons room was also very dated broken draws wobbly radiator. There bathroom was a bit better than ours. Taps in both the chrome was almost gone. The hotel I could see when being nosy at a couple of rooms that these had obviously been updated. Hopefully this will carry on through the rest of the hotel and they will not just class done up rooms as luxury. It should be standard to be clean and fresh throughout. We did have an issue when my husbands room did not recieve fresh towels and toilet rolls or the bin emptied. He had to go and ask for the toilet rolls we were there for four days. I understand the chambermaid or whatever they are called are busy amd probably poorly paid.I know I have done that thankless job. This is why I always leave my room tidy and I do strip the beds ready for fresh linen for the next people.Iwe always leave our rooms spotless to give a helping hand and I never ask for the rooms to be made up,I make my own bed. we just ask for fresh towels and toilet rolls and the bin emptied which I also Normally have it bagged ready.Also the floors are very creaky I know an old building but I think needs investigating.Our rooms where 207 and 220.our card details where taken incase of any damage??
The staff where helpful, reception and restaurant and bar area tidy. I have stayed at the trouville before a few years ago and we had a nice fair room for the price.Thats why we wanted to go back and we took two of our older kids.

United KingdomThe stained carpets and walls make the place look dirty unfortunately.
I read the reviews before booking here so had an idea of what to expect. The hotel is old and the room I stayed in was quite rundown, but we just needed a place to lay our heads at night so that's that. The location is 10/10 though, 4 mins away from the beach if that.
