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 wasn’t anything we didn’t like
An absolutely beautiful home. Clean, tidy, homely and decorated beautifully. We stayed here for a family trip away, 8 adults and two small children and we had a brilliant time. There’s everything you need at this property, the hosts have literally thought of everything. It’s warm, clean, comfortable and plenty of seating which was great for our large party. Location was fab- close to a lovely restaurant, Ripples (the best steak and fish!) and as per advice from the hosts, the downings was 25 minutes by car and we spent a few hours at the singing pub- highly recommend. We will most definitely be back, we had a ball and everything was perfect!

The house was absolutely amazing, clean and comfortable. The back garden was big, with a table and chairs, which was a nice place to sit and relax. Area it self was incredible. Nice and quiet. Not too far from the town, but not too close, so it wasn’t noisy. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away from city noise.

United KingdomEverything was perfect, I couldn't fault a single thing.
I booked this property for my daughters 14th birthday for her and 3 of her friends. The house was just absolutely gorgeous and had everything you needed, plenty of towels toilet paper shampoo, shower gel, tea & coffe, and there was even a lovely welcome basket with snacks and cereals. A big beautiful kitchen with everything you need. The girls made homemade pizzas, and there were even pizza trays in the cupboard. There is a lovely livingroom on one side of the house where i chilled in the evening watching tv while the girls had their wee party and played their games in the big kitchen and sitting area on the other side of the house. The bedrooms are stunning. The girls took the room with the double bed and bunkbeds in it, which meant they could really enjoy their sleepover and all have a comfortable bed to sleep in. I took the room with the ensuite, and it was the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. The bed was so comfortable. Sitting out in the garden with a morning coffee with the mountain views was just heavenly. The whole place was spotless from top to bottom and just felt so homely. It's just a short 15 min walk to the beach and peer. I had the car with me, but the girls preferred to walk to the beach and really enjoyed the walk. I will definitely be back, but next time with friends, you could easily do 2-3 families with their kids staying here, there's loads of space for the adults to chill and the kids to chill without being on top of one and other. I think this house will become a regular booking for me and my family every summer. My son and my partner couldn't get over the photos and can't wait to get a night down in it. This property is so well priced for the size and the comfort and views. The owner was so nice and communicated well during the booking and checking in process.
