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...).

United KingdomWe had a lovely stay being so close to Rest Bay. The flat is well-appointed. However, felt that lack of attention to detail in equipment and cleaning rather let it down. There was no chopping board in the kitchen & no oven gloves (mentioned in a previous review) & no coasters for wine or hot drinks. The food waste was at the back of a low cupboard but no liners supplied. When I removed the runner on the table there were a lot of crumbs left from previous occupation. We also had to wash some glasses, cutlery & crockery before use as they weren't as clean as I would have liked. A few long, dark hairs in kitchen, bedroom & bathroom too suggests lack of thoroughness in cleaning. However the host kindly supplied us with a cafetiere after I requested on the first night. Appreciated the new pans too. It could be a great flat if just those things were seen to.
Great to have a retractable washing line to hang up the wet swimwear after a lovely dip in the sea at Rest Bay. Good new pans to use in kitchen. Although no cafetiere on arrival, the host supplied on first evening. Thank you! Everything worked well.

United KingdomI couldn’t find any oven gloves - but it really wasn’t a big deal. I just used a tea towel.
Spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Ground floor that opened onto a clean and neat courtyard. Happy to allow kids to play outside safely!

This apartment was exceptionally nice and we was all blown away of how Everything was. We all slept so well ready for our journey back to North Wales. I honestly didn't want to come home I could of quite easily reside there. The owners are very lucky to have such a lovely apartment. Thank you for letting us experience your holiday home.

United KingdomThe kitchen pans were not great. They were too large for 2 people. The frying pan and the smallest pan had burnt on stains. The bathroom door handle dropped off early in our stay, and this kept happening. The bedroom door stuck on the carpet when it was opened. Some of the beading on the bathroom window was coming adrift. This is being nitpicking, but these things could be easily corrected. It was an excellent place to stay, and I would love to stay again (but perhaps take some kitchen items from home!)
Location, space, parking, large fridge freezer outdoor space. Everything was wonderful apart from a few minor issues listed below.

The location was amazing, only 5 minutes from the beach and the apartment itself was lovely. We had everything that we needed and it was all very modern. There is a small patio which was great to sit out on. We had a lovely stay and I would highly recommend this apartment.

United KingdomFantastic location for the golf course made it for me. Nice apartment and level access for my wife. An improvement would be a walk in shower instead of the bath, this would help less able people. A little hot in the apartment because the weather was unusually warm so turned the thermostats down a couple of degrees. Instructions for WiFi on booking .com were incorrect but easily found from label on the router

DenmarkVery nice location, with the sea in front of you. Good place for parking and a cozy cafe close by. In the morning you drive by the beach and see the surfers out in the water. It seemed newly renovated so the kitchen/livingroom, bathroom and bedroom was as new.

We knew the location in advance but for those who don’t you are looking over a really beautiful spot and in the distance over the channel is North Devon and Somerset, you have a lovely beach, fine sand and loads of rock pools, you can walk along the cliff to Porthcawl and plenty of rest for those that need it by sitting on a bench looking out to sea, look out for the bench in memory of Jim and Iris Murray (Grandparents).

The host was very obliging. The apartment was spotless, and very comfortable. We had milk, bread, butter, tea and coffee for our arrival. The apartment was in lovely grounds, if you wanted a quiet weekend you could stroll on the beach or if you wanted to go into the town it was a few minutes away by car.

United KingdomBedroom was opposite the car park on the ground floor and peoples car lights shining in the bedroom window. The room was very hot. A fan was provided but even on the lowest setting the blinds moved about and you’re on the ground floor level by the car park so felt a bit visible
Great location for Porthcawl golf. Easy access with key lockbox. Nice kitchen for cooking and plenty of utensils. Car parking space and very secure gated location:-)
