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...).

HungaryThe only thing I would change is the mattress, but maybe it's just me.
I stayed for a week in August and really enjoyed it. The room was lovely, cosy and very clean. I loved all the little extra touches. The hosts were very kind and helpful . The cleaning lady did an excellent job. The location was perfect. I'm planning my next trip here.

United KingdomHaving to come home at the end of the stay
Clean, spacious, lovely decor. Little touches like sweets / biscuits, plenty of tea and coffee etc. Made us feel welcome and at home. Some reviews mention noise from the bar underneath but it wasn't too loud, it closes at 10pm and not open every night, really didn't disturb us at all.

United KingdomIt wasn't easy to locate, the name needs to be more visible. The water pressure in the shower was poor.
The room was large, quirky, extremely comfortable, well stocked with nice products. The building is in a central location within Seaham, itself a nice location.

United KingdomWindow didn’t close properly due to broken latch so was a little noisy but this was reported to the owner. Not a problem for us but be aware that all rooms are on at least the 3rd floor with no elevator. All situated above a nice bar and Indian restaurant on the lower levels.
Easy self checking process using lock box at front door. Good location right on the sea front. Well stoked with useful amenities inc a small in-room fridge and fan.

United KingdomThe mattress was awful and definately needs replacing. It caused a lot of bounce for one of us when the other turned over resulting in lack of sleep. We expected there to be a bar at the property as it clearly states so in the name but were disappointed to find the entrance to the bar on the first floor was locked with no explanations as to why. The property is a self check in with keys in the lock box at the main door.
The room exceeded our expectations was well decorated and had lots of little added extras. There was a small fridge, safe, iron and ironing board. The tea coffee tray was well stocked with extra supplies on the landing. The location was good near a shopping centre with a view of the sea.

CanadaHaving to carry my bag up the stairs and the bar was not open in the evening. I also was not offered breakfast. Not sir is that was even part of my package. Also instructions on how to check in did not come until I had already arrived and I was confused on how to get in. It all worked out though the people were wonderful.

AustraliaPlease look at the cold water tap in the bathroom shower in room 5, as it was very hot and we couldn’t adjust it.
Great location, there was a food festival on so parking wasn’t easy. Just needed to be patient, but plenty later at night. The little added extras were delightful. Overall, the stay was excellent.

United KingdomI don't think there is anything that could have been done better, the room was exactly what we expected.
The room was clean and had everything that we needed. The parking was a bit of a nightmare at first as it is not a dedicated car park just for the hotel, so we had to move our car after parking it in a space that was not ideal but then a better space became available a bit later on. The bar closed earlier than 11pm, but luckily the Indian restaurant downstairs was still just about open to get some snacks.
