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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe shower was very small, causing a puddle of water each time we used it.
The owners met us on arrival and were very friendly and helpful, giving us information about our stay and the facilities and local attractions. The area was nice and peaceful, and very close to the town centre.

United KingdomSadly, the wifi was terrible! The shower room is small, and as such, unfortunately, I got to know the shower curtain a little too well when showering; the shower itself was great!
Arrived to a lovely welcome and had a good chat with the very friendly host. I had booked the room, not noticing it was 'pet friendly,' which would have been a disaster, but for the air purifier supplied! The room was clean & tidy and reasonably comfortable; at a bargain price!

United KingdomBed definitely needs replacing. Lovely rainwater shower installed but cant use it as it floods the bathroom due to shower area very small. Have to use small shower head which was fine but frustrating. Needed cleaning. Bathroom sink had the remnants of someone who had brushed their teeth in it. Generally needs deep clean.
Great quiet location. Compact and well equipped. Excellent messaging comms from owners.

United KingdomAs much as I liked the value, the place needed an update. The bathroom is very small and needs some work done. I would recommend a check with an electrician as my son had an electric shock trying to charge his game, and there's a buzzing sound when my phone was charging, I've tried different chargers and plugs but the noise was always there.
The location was great, close to shops, quiet area, easy to get a bus. Good value of money and the host were very friendly.

United KingdomAlthough it's a residential street, it's quite noisy at night with people coming and going...obviously not the hosts' fault, but I suggest bringing ear buds for a good night's sleep. I couldn't get the TV to get a signal, but I had my phone, so could watch Netflix.
Fabulous location, a short walk to the town and sea front. Michael and Paula were lovely hosts and kept checking if I needed anything and if I was happy. The unit I had was very small but had everything I needed and was lovely and clean. The shower is really tiny, but is an amazing shower with various water functions. The internet signal is really good here and there's a lovely little patio area where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine. I was allowed to bring my little dog, Nelly and she loved it here!

United KingdomWe arrived at 3:45 for a 3 o'clock check in but our room was not ready, the pictures show 2 different self contained rooms, I think we got the smallest one it was a bedroom a tiny kitchen area that has a portable plug in hob, and a bathroom with a very compact shower that floods onto an already spongy floor, not that comfortable, ok for one or two nights. There is no private parking as states.
The Host was very nice and friendly, there was washing up liquid and sponges and complimentary hand wash, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and the room was clean.
