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 KingdomThere is a fair bit of sound leakage from the bar area to rooms. Installing and shutting some doors to the bar/ to the rooms upstairs would reduce this greatly
Great location and really lovely food for breakfast and dinner. The wait staff in the restaurant was excellent- so friendly and kind

United KingdomIt was hard to get answers to a few questions prior to our stay, this lets the hotel down as once we were there we were made to feel very welcome.
Great location, with lovely staff. Our room was very comfortable and we slept well. Good hearty food in the bar/restaurant and lovely breakfast.

United KingdomThe hotel has been modernised very nicely throughout but I felt it lacked character in some ways but that's purely my own taste!
Beautiful location on this lovely island. Room was a good size, nicely furnished and very comfortable. The bathroom was very nice - all modern fittings. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Good shed for storing our bicycles. Stunning views and a lovely garden with outdoor seating. Lots of birds to watch! A few games and books available in a lovely large lounge. TV in the bar.

The hotel is close to the ferry terminal and is mostly located in an older building that has been tastefully extended and modernised at some point.

United KingdomLoud pop music played in restaurant and bar all day and every evening. Hotel is expensive for what it is, but as it is the only one on the island then this is to be expected.

United KingdomI didn’t like the music at breakfast, I felt that it spoiled the atmosphere and was not necessary. I asked for it to be turned down and the member of staff seemed ok with that request. Two other guests thanked me.
I loved the laid back atmosphere of this hotel and the traditional feel. The food was excellent.

United KingdomOur bedroom was a bit tired. It was small but we were aware of that in advance. However the windows rattled and our bedside lights were falling to bits! Bed very comfortable though and bedroom/bathroom clean. It was just small for the price we paid. Communication with the hotel prior to our stay was very difficult. I emailed 4 times without any response. And I called on numerous occasions but got no answer, not even an answering machine which was a bit frustrating. I finally got the manager on the phone and he was helpful.
The restaurant and bar were great. Food very tasty and lovely staff in the dining room. Bar well attended and a good selection of drinks but felt the hotel could do with more staff when busy. The staff we met were delightful.

United KingdomNo towels in my room when I arrived but the linen cupboard was open so I could have them. Quite pricey though but only hotel on the island. For the price, there should be blackout curtains as the flowery ones are very thin and do not stop the light at all.
Comfortable bed, 5 mins walk from ferry, really good breakfast, hot and cold little buffet, nice views on water.

United KingdomWe had a ‘standard’ bedroom which was just about adequate but it was very small and had a very compact bathroom. There was no servicing of our bedroom during our 3 night stay. This was not a big problem but it was not explained to us that this was the policy when we arrived.. and there was no written information about the hotel facilities in our bedroom.
Superb location. Spacious comfortable public rooms. Well-equipped bedroom and bathroom. Pleasant staff. Good food and service at breakfast and dinner.

United StatesAs with most hotel rooms, there really isn't a good place to put 2 carry on bags, and 2 backpacks.
The breakfast was fine. I didn't realize until day 3 that the hot breakfasts were also included in the price, but there was plenty to eat, even with the "continental". They have a small staff, but they work really hard, and are very pleasant and accommodating. The dining room is light and airy, and there are plenty of sofas in varying rooms, to sit and have a drink. The library is especially nice as well, with lots of windows, comfortable seating, and available books.
