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 steps out of the shower would benefit from more anti-slip measures.
Easy to find. On street parking was close by. We were able to find a restaurant for supper and picked up the makings of breakfast from nearby Aldi and Tesco.

United KingdomApartment room door lock was a bit fiddly! No other issues.
This was a self-catering apartment. Kitchen equipment was adequate and easy to use. This is a relatively quiet part of the town but within easy reach of the sea-front.

United KingdomNot a huge criticism, the quilt was a little too high a tog for this time of year (August) but it was a very hot day/evening when we stayed.
The overall property was fantastic, spacious, and clean and in a perfect location for us. We booked this location as we wanted to attend Seaton parkrun on the esplanade and it was a couple of minutes walk. The 10.30 check out was perfect as gave me time to shower after the event.

AustraliaThe pebbles outside the entrance were a little difficult for my wife to walk over as she has a balance problem. The bathroom door is somewhat difficult to open from the inside. Otherwise delightful accommodation!!!
Accommodation was bright and clean and the beds were comfortable. Cutlery and crockery were ample for our needs. The shower and bathroom were clean and functional. Would recommend to small groups or a small family.

IrelandThe only issue was the location which was near the coast but led to the noise of loud seagulls outside the window from 5am.
A lovely clean apartment well located near the sea front. It is small but has a well facilitated kitchen and bathroom, comfy bed and helpful staff.

United KingdomThere was quite a bit of traffic noise from the nearby busy main thoroughfare through Seaton. There were also people walking right by the door , often talking on their phones etc, and this was in the lounge itself. So it was not very relaxing, as I was tired upon arrival. No other complaints though!!
Very well presented and equipped, rooms of a comfortable size.
