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 KingdomA little bit hot in the room and cooking smells from the kitchen filled it because we needed to keep windows open for the fresh air. But it's an old place, so you can't have it all. On behalf of the staff: They looked really smart in their classic uniforms, however we really felt for them, particularly in this very hot weather. The uniforms looked extremely uncomfortable, restrictive and totally unsuitable for efficiency of carrying out cleaning jobs and for the hot climate. They did not mention this to us - it is our observation.
Charming hotel with great facilities; comfortable bed; room very clean; lovely pool area, excellent location and parking. Really great friendly and professional staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful dinner in the hotel restaurant; lovely quality of ingredients, taste and menu variety. Would definitely come back and wished we could stay longer.

AustraliaI got a little lost getting back to my room as the hotel is so huge and the layout is very complicated!
This is a lovely Victorian era hotel with all the most luxurious mod cons! The outside pool was very warm (although a little too shallow to actually swim), there are two tennis courts, a massive lawn with a path down to the beach, two comfortable lounges, a brasserie restaurant as well as a gym and indoor pool.

United KingdomThere was some confusion over breakfast costs. £25 each for breakfast was very steep and the reception staff didn't know about the reduced price for the continental choice which was £16. We went out to a local cafe for breakfast but once we queried with the restaurant manager Jonathan we then had continental breakfast at the hotel which was amazing and fresh and enough for us. The fridge in our room was spasmodically noisy during the night so we switched it off.
The bedroom was spacious and clean. Bed comfy with a choice of pillows. The shower was nice and hot and the body and hair washes smelled lovely. The view from our room was, as promised, of the sea. It was close to the beach however the outdoor and indoor pools were not busy and there were plenty of reclining seats fit the time of year. Parking was no problem . The staff were very friendly and efficient. Continental breakfast was great after we had clarified the extra cost. It was a lovely quirky building with plenty of relaxing areas. I used the Spa and had a lovely massage.

United KingdomAround the pool area no refreshments you have to dress and go over to the indoor bar and order drinks. For this type of hotel it does need either a poolside bar or staff coming round maybe at a set time to offer. Or a telephone or ordering pad. Then brought over. No menu displayed many guests asked us about drinks. On booking there are Options to have RO or add on breakfast I was surprised as the price of the room it should be included. £25pp £15 pchild is excessive. The only other thing we didn't like was having to leave 😁
We booked the sea view with a balcony with absolutely wonderful views over the pool and the beach. Sunset amazing. We were V lucky with the weather being so good we spent a lot of time by the outside pool. Sunbeds v comfortable with shade. Gym also classes and spa v good Short walk to the beach which is sandy and has on the beach refreshments and facilities at the entrance. Shops cafe bars within a short walk from hotel or nice coastal walks. Our room was modern and interesting decor, the bathroom is new and spotlessly clean the whole hotel was! Beds comfy only issue was the drawers are flat to the floor not on legs. Dinner was delicious and there was plenty to choose from.

United KingdomThe evening restaurant was a bit of a letdown. The staff were not as friendly as the hotel staff and the food wasn't the best in the area, but it was the most expensive.
The staff and facilities of the hotel and spa were amazing, very friendly. Helped with luggage, kept the room made up every day.

United KingdomYou’ve got to understand that this is an expensive hotel - my room had no sea view and a little bit of noise from the air conditioning at the back. But I chose that and wanted the location and pool! Oh, and no breakfast. This cost £25 but was worth paying for! So bear that in mind and balance it all up.
Beautiful and glamorous, ideally situated on the Coast Path (if, like me, you are walking the route) in lovely private gardens. There is everything you’d want - swimming pool, spa, cinema, bar… The staff were great - the lady on reception was so helpful.

United KingdomLiterally the only thing we could even mildly identify as a complaint was the lack of herbal teas in the room (partner is vegan) but I’m sure they would have supplied oat milk or similar if asked. They had a great range of vegan foods in the restaurant. Yes, that’s right, if that’s all we can complain about, it’s got to be pretty damn good right?
This is a very classy hotel for the price you pay. Staff are extremely welcoming on arrival, the rooms are modern and clean, the spa facilities are great and the building is very well maintained and classically decorated (almost has a 1920’s theme - very well executed) and gives the place a cool vibe!

United KingdomAs above. Fusty tasting kale and pricey breakfast.
Great location, accommodation and staff. A very warm welcome from the moment we entered the car park. Gardens very well maintained. Great staff. Would have rated a 10 were it not for the pricey breakfast and the 'fusty' kale served in the Brasserie. Those two small things aside, a great stay and the weather was on our side.
