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 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):
- 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.).

Our room looked out over a yard where the bins were and was above the kitchen, because it was warm when we were there we had the window open so had the noise from the kitchen below and the view was not pleasant. We did have a basic room so possibly to be expected but we were disappointed by it but would not put us off staying here we will request a different room next time
The location is lovely, so peaceful and with easy access to Skegness or Gibraltar Point nature reserve, all staff were friendly and helpful. The bar area is a great place for a drink after a day out and there is a good choice of food both snacks and main meals

The only downside was housekeeping banging about outside the rooms at 7am and could not get back to sleep. It’s nice to have a bit of a lay-in on break, so that was the only criticism we had.
It is in a beautiful setting off the main roads. Cosy and comfortable rooms. Good night sleep and great shower. Repeat customer and will be back again soon.

Stopped serving food at 5pm on a Sunday. Having arrived and spent the day in the town centre we intended to return to the Vine for an evening meal and drinks before retiring to our room. However, food is not served after 5pm on a Sunday. We have stayed at the Vine numerous times and always eaten here during the evening but this option is no longer available on a Sunday. This was disappointing but we did find a nice Italian restaurant close by. Menu has been reduced (including pizza selection) from when we previously stayed. Toilet didn’t flush properly (only stayed one night so didn’t like to complain).
Location. Just outside of the town centre but easily walkable. Nice bar and restaurant. Ample parking. Rooms were lovely. Gardens and outside seating areas including heated pods. Helpful staff.

It would have been good if I could open my bedroom window. Also the light from the corridor came through under my door
The best part was the setting. It was so peaceful and the beach was nearby, with a lovely walk through the saltmarsh which was full of rare birds singing. The staff were really nice and friendly

Only slight issue was the mattress on the bed was past its sell by date - it could do with being changed for a new one ( room 1 ) as it was bouncy one side , solid the other .
Our room was huge , large bed plus sofa , and still plenty of space to swing that cat . We had a bath and shower , the shower was fantastic . Massive TV , plenty of hot drinks etc . 2 built in wardrobes . Well furnished , good carpet , thick blackout curtains and spotlessly clean . Mercifully there was also a large standing fan , very much needed as it was hot and sunny both days / nights we stayed . Only ate at the hotel once , an evening meal which was superb ( Port and Game Pie ) All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable , eager and willing to help or answer questions . Room was cleaned and fresh towels delivered .
