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 KingdomI only needed an overnight bed on a work trip arriving late and leaving early and this Bournemouth boarding house was good for that. Friendly greeting and easy to park outside. In the attic with a tiny kitchen facility in the room where the landlady provided the bread etc to make your own breakfast which was a nice touch. Off-road parking in front of the house made it all very convenient

Our host was excellent, she helped me bring in my bags in,nothing was too much trouble. The room had a small but adequate kitchenette, well stocked. Lots of storage space in the bedroom the shower was good.

Room was clean. We stayed in the room at the top. I'm 6'2", so hit my head a lot. Kitchen was really good. A bit far from the main stretch, and was pricey - probably due to air show, but we didn't go to see that.

United KingdomI struggled to find the address as the signage was small. I got there late and so missed out on onsite parking options. While there was nearby parking I had to carry my luggage from a little walk away and then up several flights of stairs, good workout.
One of the best welcomes I've received. The room was tidy and well equipped with kitchen facilities I hadn't been expecting. The location was perfect for what I had planned. There was easy parking in a nearby street.

United KingdomLack of communication with host or staff while staying. The breakfast - just say you are a self catering establishment as it is misleading to say you provide breakfast, you then appear on booking.com as bed&breakfast
We had a very mixed stay at El Murrs. First of all, I was led to believe by Booking.com that I had booked a Bed and Breakfast. I then realised that this is a self-catering establishment but they do provide a basket of breakfast items for you to use. When we arrived, we were met by a pleasant lady who rang her boss to find out what room we were in. She then kindly carried our case up to the top floor and showed us room 8. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the hot water excellent. However, there was no useful information in the room like a contact phone number, wifi password, local shops, buses etc. After settling in, we went downstairs and spoke to the lady to find out the wifi password. She couldn’t help us and wasn’t sure what we were talking about. Eventually, another resident helped us. Our breakfast basket contained 2 cereal boxes, some specialist teas (camomile, peppermint etc), hot chocolate sachets and 2 Pain au chocolate (but these were out of date). There was also a box with slices of bread and in the fridge, pats of butter, jams and milk. We couldn’t find any coffee so bought some from a local supermarket. After breakfast the next morning we caught the bus to Bournemouth Pier. The property is well located for the bus stop and buses are frequent. When we returned in the evening, we found that the breakfast basket had not been replenished. We couldn’t find anyone to ask about this so again visited the local supermarket. The next morning, all set to make our breakfast, we found that there was no electricity. As this was our last morning we just packed up, planning to go out to a café instead. We did find someone to speak to who apologised to us but when we said we couldn’t find anyone the day before, she just said, ”well we’re not a hotel.” We understand that these rooms are self-catering but some sort of reception or contact number would have made our stay much more pleasant.
