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...).

GermanySee above. Overall, all was good and met our expectations.
Breakfast: Not a huge selection, but sufficient. The room only has some daylight from above, but it is nicely furnished. The friendly staff makes up for everything. Parking: There is no private parking for the hotel. Public parking must be used. These are time-limited, so you have to keep updating the parking disc from time to time. The non-time-limited parking spaces were always occupied. Location: You can get to the sea and the shops and restaurants very quickly. Staff: Everyone was very, very friendly. We were allowed to park our bikes in the hotel entrance. Rooms: The hotel itself is quite old and winding. We had rooms at the back overlooking the roofs. The sight wasn't very pretty (sight words beach will be much nicer), but it was fine for 2 nights. It was clean and we slept well. Our little dog was also given a very warm welcome. Price: The price wasn't super cheap, but it was good value for the location. We would come back again.

United KingdomThe only slight downside was the lift — it’s quite small and a little dated, just about fitting two people — but honestly, it added a bit of quirky charm to the experience and didn’t take away from our overall comfort. A quick word of warning to future guests: we did end up with a parking ticket, which of course isn’t the hotel’s fault at all — but the sign with the parking terms was very small and easy to miss, so just be extra cautious!
We had a fantastic stay and thoroughly enjoyed every moment! The location of the hotel is absolutely excellent — close to everything we wanted to see and do. Our room was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and felt like a real retreat after a day of exploring. Ocean views and live public music was a real treat! The receptionist was an absolute delight — so friendly, welcoming, and full of helpful information that made our stay even better. It’s always lovely to be greeted with a genuine smile and great local tips!
