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 KingdomBreakfast could have been better in terms of food quality and selection, but was still a pleasant experience and the dining room was pretty. The carpet in the bedroom absolutely needed replacing or at the very least deep-cleaning. Housekeeping service was very limited, the room never really felt clean, more just towels changed and coffee replaced. Also would have been nice if they’d hoovered once during our 4 night stay. Wifi wasn’t great and no sockets next to bed. None of these issues would stop me booking again though, improvements would have just made it better.
Hotel staff were lovely, extremely helpful and professional. The location was stunning, beautiful sea view, close to the beach, fantastic grounds. The bar and restaurant were good. It was family/kid friendly but also elegant and quiet. Rooms were a good size. Pool was nice for kids, not a spa vibe though, more family-play oriented. Would absolutely book again, great value.

United KingdomThe bedroom was very warm, and the windows were sash and low-level window sills. This meant the windows only opened a little due to health and safety reasons, which I get. However, they did supply a cooling fan, but due to the size of the room, this didn't really have much effect. Would've been better if the room had air-conditioning. Apart from that, a great experience and fantastic place to stay.
The whole experience from start to finish

United KingdomMy husband and I had booked this as our honeymoon and deliberately booked it with it being a spa hotel. We were not able to book any spa treatments as they were all booked up. I fed back to the hotel to ask if they could make it clearer to guests that they need to book prior to their arrival as this was quite a big disappointment for us. So if you are going for spa treatments, please book ahead!! Our bedroom was lovely but absolutely boiling hot despite the plug in fan which meant we did not sleep particularly well.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous sea views. Our room was very spacious and the bathroom even had 2 walk in showers! The car park was very easy to park in and near to the hotel’s entrance. The pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room was very clean and good facilities. Staff on the whole were very polite and friendly. Alice, at reception, in particular really went out of her way to make us feel looked after.

BelgiumIt was unclear we why it was possible to order breakfast some mornings, but not others. The radio/music played during breakfast was terrible. It was the kind you get assaulted with in cheap clothes shops. The rooms/bathrooms were a bit tired looking and a little small. There were no rooms where you could relax and read/enjoy the place… the bar, which could have been such a place, had a monster TV screen which was always on.
The buffet breakfast was very good and breakfast menu (eg eggs royal) was excellent. The spa facilities.

United KingdomBreakfast was really disappointing - until we discovered that we could order eggs to be cooked to order, which made it marginally better. Coffee was dire.
Our room had obviously been refurbished which was pleasing - good shower room, spacious. Bed very hard - would benefit from mattress topper.

United KingdomI didn't like the fact that we had to book breakfast slots and times for the spa. Being on holiday and having several events on with people that were there with me, meant I didn't know what time I would want breakfast in the morning or use the spa. However, even though I did give a time for breakfast, there was still hardly any food available when I went in at 9.15am - they took at least 20 minutes to replenish the beans, sausages, eggs, bacon etc.
The hotel is in a lovely location and was very comfortable. Staff were friendly. Wasn't in the hotel for much of the time.

United KingdomThe spa treatments; could suggest the hotel contacts guests prior to stay with the details of booking the spa treatments & pool/gym time slotts. Unable to book all desired Spa treatments during the stay unfortunately however, the one that was facilitated was well worth the cost & would recommend booking.
Excellent staff, from housekeeping, recreation, bar/restaurant, spa, pool/life guard and manager. Could not have asked for best service or attention. Example: requested to eat an evening meal watching the England women’s football final. Facilitated timely without prompting and with excellent service. NOTHING was too much trouble. Food superb; quality of ingredients, hot & choice. Ate 3 evenings in hotel, 5 breakfasts, 2 lunches and a cream tea. Again, excellent service. Parking-good Grounds-beautiful.
