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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomI was charge £38 more for my room than my sister. I booked in Dec and she booked hers in Jan. When I queried this I was told it had to do with availability. Does not make sense! Also her room was bigger than mine and I had a dog.
The staff were very attentive. A good choice of food for breakfast. Good location to beach.

United KingdomThe hotel is comfortable and friendly. As far as I know, it's not part of a chain. It's well run and has a relaxing atmosphere. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The menu and food are good and drinks reasonably priced. A hotel always worth a return trip.

United KingdomRoom decor was a bit dated but in good order. One member of staff was a bit grumpy. Parking for us was fine but I think it could be a problem as it’s limited.
Amazing facilities for a family break. Restaurant evening meal was exceptional quality and value. Most of the staff were very nice and helpful. The whole place was spotlessly clean.

United KingdomIt's nothing the hotel can really improve upon, but there aren't many many parking spaces. The other thing was I sent several messages asking us to check in on line - but it would not work for us, did not like my credit card, even though we used the same one on arrival. In the end that did not matter, but it was a bit frustrating. The hotel was also quite a bit outside of Bournemouth, which is a plus and a minus... it all depends on what you want.
The staff were very good - especially on reception. The food was good, we ate in the restaurant one night - the Dover sole was excellent and great value compared to posh fish restaurants. Good choice for breakfast - and frequently replenished Also very quiet for sleeping even though there were a lot of guests.
