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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewCentrally located, safe private parking, wonderfully warm & friendly hosts, big comfortable bed, fantastic breakfast cooked to order. We loved it, and will definitely be back.
Being picky, the shower pressure was a bit low and I personally dislike a shower curtain but other than that, we can't fault it.

Verified reviewA beautiful cosy hotel run by the fabulous Jamie and Lee. It felt like a home from home with a lovely spacious room with beautiful decor. A brilliant location for beach and town and breakfast was superb 👌. Jamie was the perfect host in the breakfast room and Lee the fabulous chef. Both Jamie and Lee were so happy and welcoming hosts with knowledge of the area and recommendations. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you both for a lovely relaxing stay. Kim & Darren

Verified reviewGreat location, guaranteed parking included, comfy bed, superb breakfast and friendly hosts
Creaky floor boards in bedroom, however it wouldn’t stop me staying again. It’s an old property it’s to be expected, but maybe it could be improved.

Verified reviewWe were called by the owner to align on our arrival time and were later welcomed at the location. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Both the beach and the city center are at walking distance. Parking space is at the private property of the hotel, so I could safely park my motorcycle at night. The owner was very helpful in making sure it was in a good, safe spot. Breakfast was fantastic with fresh fruits, yogurts, juice, full English breakfast, coffee, etc. The room was spacious with a nice high ceiling and a large, clean bathroom. The location is quiet and we had a good night's sleep.

Verified reviewWe were greeted on arrival by the owner, he couldn’t be more welcoming. Loved the Art Deco theme in public areas. We had room 10 on first floor which was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast freshly prepared to order, served on hot plates. Also full selection of self serve cereal, fruit, yoghurt and fruit juices. Extra pillows in room and made full use of fan due to high temperatures but slept well. Loved the extra touches, gorgeous cookies daily in room and a good selection of toiletries.
If anything we like a bath and didn’t have one. That said it is not a deal breaker and we will definitely be back.

Verified reviewThe people who run it, the bed, the breakfast. Jamie and Lee were both so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was superb with lots of good quality food to choose from. The room was tidied every day for our 4 night stay and kept very clean.
Traffic noise, but this was simply solved by closing the windows and using the supplied fan.

Verified reviewJamie is a fantastic host and cooks the most wonderful breakfasts! Our room was lovely, and cleaned everyday, which we wasn't expecting. There are also the little touches, which make a huge difference. Staying at the Cavendish, was like staying with family. You couldn't really ask any more. When we find ourselves next in Bournemouth, we will be booking here! Thank you so much Jamie, Lee and all the staff for making our visit exactly what we needed.
There was nothing to dislike. Everything was lovely.
