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 KingdomPaying for parking seems very mean considering you’re paying to stay at the hotel already - this put a slight dampener on the stay. Guests should not have to pay to park. Although the outdoor pool was fantastic it was too warm and felt more like a hot tub - kids loved it but for adults it may be too warm and not refreshing on a hot summers day.
The location is stunning, the sea views when we first approached had the wow factor and are spectacular. The lobby and bar area are beautifully designed and well kept. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The family room was perfect for us with plenty of space and nice facilities decor. Outdoor pool for kids was great, total holiday vibes.

United KingdomSwimming pool had a dirty rim so we decided not to use it. Parts of the hotel look like they need painting / some care and attention which is surprising for a Marriot and for £300 paid for one night. Bar area was nice but again could do with some attention to worn carpet etc / wear and tear. No bath in the room which was disappointing for the price. The shower however was very well designed.
Lovely bedroom facing the sea and the team kindly gave us some fudge for our anniversary celebration and some chocolate strawberries. Comfortable medium sized room. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. Close walk down to the beach and pier. Probably the best located hotel in Bournemouth. Beautiful smelling 'This Works' products in the bathroom.

United KingdomIt was extremely busy, staff seemed to be under a lot of pressure. Said we couldn't eat breakfast outside even though there were loads of tables (we went outside, wasn't an issue). There wasn't any parking for a short period of time and the hotelier got annoyed at us for getting out of our car in a non-parking spot to figure out where we could park.
Really clean, great rooms and right on the coast. location was good. Great amenities

United StatesRoom was very tiny, with limited room for luggage. The bar only had staff on one side (the non-window side), so you had to walk around to the other side if you wanted to order anything. The shower was mediocre, and with the way the barrier worked, it sprayed onto the floor
