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.).

The location is great for taking walks all around Bude and for easy beach access. Elements restaurants is also excellent, we enjoyed breakfasts and a dinner there.

United KingdomThe room was in need of limited service, e.g. the shower controls were loose and the cubicle leaked so water sprayed on to the floor each time it was used. The residents should be informed that the bar/restaurant is not part of the hotel business so not given the option of a room tab, also, not offered a discount on purchases made in the bar.
The staff were very pleasant & friendly. Bed was very comfortable!. Bar/restaurant was very nice and had excellent views overlooking the beach.

United KingdomThe receptionist was on the phone for ten minutes while we were waiting to check in and didn’t even acknowledge us. There was a dirty towel left in our bathroom which smelled of cigarette smoke. More attention to detail/ staff training needed.
Comfortable hotel in a great seaside location. Stylish room with good bathroom and very comfortable bed. Great breakfast with attentive staff. Great sea views. Good selection of teas and biscuits in room. Would stay again.

Great location overlooking Summerleaze Beach. Lovely views and walks nearby although hilly. There is parking and we were fine but I would imagine at times, it could be hard to find a spot. Rooms were very well appointed but if you can afford it, go for a sea view room. We ate in the hotel restaurant, the food was very good and reasonably priced, it gets busy though so I would recommend booking. All in all, a very nice hotel.

United KingdomSome of the décor was a little tired, threadbare sections on the stair carpet for example. In general I wouldn't describe it as luxurious considering the price paid; I stayed at another place afterward in Cornwall at 2/5 of the price which was pretty similar in standard. I have stayed in luxurious places but this isn't one of them. There were few car parking spaces (3, 2 of them occupied by cars which didn't move the entire time we were there) and the roadside parking was usually full, so each time we went out there was anxiety about whether we would find anywhere to park when we got back. There was nothing particularly wrong, I enjoyed my stay, but was expecting something more special.
The location was really good overlooking the bay

The hotel is well kept with clean, spacious rooms with everything you need. Little details were thought of to make you feel welcomed and well looked after. We went on our first family holiday as a 4 with our new born baby and 4 year old. Facilities for the baby were top and they were engaging with our 4 year old. We’ve gone away before when young children haven’t been acknowledged. It was small things like setting up child friendly plates and utterly at breakfast as well as tweaking the breakfast menu for him. Location is brilliant. We’ll 100% be back again!

We stayed in The Suite which was a perfect combination for our family. All of the staff, from reception to the housekeeping and throughout the restaurant were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, lovely breakfasts with lots of choice and superb service and meals in the evening.
