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 reviewFantastic reception from the staff, really friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Very well looked after even though they were busy. Beautiful large, well equipped room with a sea view. This was the best night's sleep I've had in ages, superking, super comfy bed. This is a Marsden group hotel, so it has a pub classic menu. Mixed grill and rump steak were both cooked perfectly.
It's a shame that these hotel groups don't put money back into their hotels. They are usually understaffed, making staff stretched to the max and frazzled. I felt the manager was doing his best with the rooms he had to work with, and he rectified everything without question. I would return here and book the same room due to the fabulous view.

Website said there was parking. There was none and it cost £16 to keep car in car park. If we had known that we would have stayed somewhere different. Breakfast was late on a Saturday. We wanted at 7 am to do what we had arranged to do. This has to be cancelled
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day! Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything more we can do!

Verified reviewLovely big room with a sea view, very clean. The upstairs interior has been modernised recently. Great breakfast, loads of choice. The staff could not have been more helpful.
Nothing. Downstairs and the exterior need a bit of tlc but it has a nice seaside pub feel about it which is great. L

Verified reviewWe booked a family room and it was very spacious with the kids in an adjoining room which suited us perfectly! Very comfortable bed, room was very clean, staff friendly. We didn't eat in the restaurant at all, just stayed overnight but we would happily stay here again.
The shower was very hard to get the temperature right in! Boiling or cold - the happy medium proved elusive for my husband, I managed to find it in the end!
