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 KingdomThe water pressure in both showers was very poor unfortunately and one toilet did not flush too well and took a long time to refill. Other than that, all good.Indoor swimming pool was lovely, changing rooms look tired.
Breakfast was lovely. Good sized English breakfast, good coffee and toast. Room - we were upgraded to an apartment so no complaints there regarding the size of the room! Room was clean and towels replaced each day. The view was overlooking the lovely gardens out to the sea. Superb.

United KingdomBreakfast was nice but not very hot when we arrived. They make it and leave under lamps. Would of been better to make to order as not that busy, only 3 people eating when we arrived at 8 am but food under lamps was cold.
We really enjoyed our room the views were amazing. The staff were all really helpful and was nice to see happy faces every time we spoke to reception. The back gate to the beach was excellent. We enjoyed the indoor pool but didn't get round to using the outdoor pool, so need to return for this ! Sunday Carvery was very nice. We enjoyed are stay and hope to return in the future.

United KingdomThe hotel, especially our apartment is very run down and tired but it was clean. Unfortunately the breakfast wasn't as good as last year (no smoked salmon or croissants/pastries) but overall food very good. The free WiFi was bad.
Amazing location less than 5 minute walk to beautiful sandy beach, ice-creams and cafes. Recommend Abys for lunch! Great facilities. We loved the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, pools (indoor+ outdoor), pitch & putt, tennis, croquet.

United KingdomThe rooms are old and tired, but you are not paying for luxury, and the rest of the positives more than make up for this. It’s a real gem of a place.
We loved our stay, the location gardens and facilities were excellent and the hotel has a lovely warm family atmosphere. The views from our rooms were fabulous. Clean and comfortable beds. Addition of a fan was welcome.

United KingdomThe rooms are in major need of a renovation. Our room was dated and the bed was too soft for our taste and very small. It’s not helped that you could hear other guests - even their coughing and snoring. A lot of money needs to be invested to make sure we return
The location was excellent. The grounds were lovely and it was very easy to walk to the beach. We ate at the restaurant for both nights and we can highly recommend the fish and chips. We paid for the breakfasts which were also excellent The staff go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay

United KingdomThe rear gate and pathway through the garden back was not illuminated which made it difficult and we would have been stuck if we didn’t have our torches on our phones. In addition, it was disappointing that the bar shut to residents at 21:30. In addition, there was a smell in the apartment which smelt like an old people’s home.. But will definitely come back and stay again.
We thought that the size of the apartment was great, well equipped and the indoor pool was lush for the girls.

United KingdomNot too much of a downside but the room was exceptionally dated. I would say it was last decorated / fitted in the late 80s maybe early 90s no later than that.
Location was great and the grounds were lovely. Bedding clean and lovey linen.

United KingdomThe door didn't lock well on the room, took a few times from inside the room to make it lock. However the hotel itself was great.
One fella who worked there was very helpful and kind. The view was lovely, the rooms were good sizes and the location was great. The grounds and pools were lovely, and the access to the tennis courts was great also.

United KingdomThe relaxing chairs in the suite were ripped. There were not enough pillows - only 2 for a double bed and when I asked for more it took 2 hours and for me to request VERY firmly before the two VERY grumpy receptionists (one on the afternoon shift and one on the evening shift) and the extremely RUDE night porter finally got me more pillows from another suite! I doubt I'll be staying here again with people like that on staff.
Lots of facilities to use. Very good location for what I needed. Bedroom was spacious. Lily was very pleasant, helpful, informative and couldn't be nicer/more efficient
