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 KingdomThere was nothing I was unhappy about at this hostel.
This hostel was so much better than I was hoping. I stayed there as a last minute booking for one night, with my 3 children (age 5,9,10). The welcome from staff was super friendly and accommodating, the accommodation was beautifully clean and comfortable, the cooked breakfast was fab and great value for money. I really couldn’t recommend this hostel highly enough. I’ll be staying again.

United KingdomIt was our first time to stay in YHA Hostel in Beer.We were greeted by a lovely receptionist (have not asked his name) but he was very polite and welcoming.He even stayed half hour longer at reception as we were stuck in traffic and he waited for us to check in before reception would close.He even gave us a call to find out if we are en route! Which I found really kind.When we arrived,check in was prompt with lots of information we needed ,so thank you ! Other reviews say that hostel is dated,which is,but it’s very clean,beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean.Place is located in quiet area and short walk to picturesque Beer village.

United KingdomIt wasn't mentioned on the Booking.com information that towels are not provided, but need to be rented. This was mentioned in the confirmation email, but this wasn't received until the booking was made and paid for. And we had no towels with us. It also wasn’t made clear where tent visitors could shower if we did have towels.
The setting is beautiful and the tents are really nice. There is a log burner in the tent, with logs provided, and although there's no mains power, there is a USB socket for charging things. The bed was comfortable and warm.

United KingdomThe insistance at reception for photo ID. Not something I have ever experienced at UK accomodation before and almost spoilt a wonderful stay. Ultimately the staff worked with us and were pleasant throughout the rest of the stay, but this was stressful at the start of the holiday.
Absolutely beautiful property, in a beautiful location, minutes from the wonderful Beer beach and coastal village, what a hidden and unexpected gem.
