How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewExceptionally clean and nicely decorated. the staff are so friendly, Centrally Located right in the town. Breakfast is cafe downstairs is lovely.
Very noisy at night but to be expected due to its central location but be prepared for noise if staying here as all rooms are on the front on the building so there is no escaping it.

Unfortunately when I arrived and went into the cafe to pick up my key there was a smell of deep fat fryers which did put me off.

Verified reviewCentrally located. Really comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean. Although not included in our stay, breakfast in the cafe downstairs is excellent.
As it is located on the main square around all the pubs, it can be noisy at night time but as we stayed during the Regatta this was to be expected.

Verified reviewWe had a lovely stay here! The room was clean, comfy, and had everything one might need. The staff were friendly and very helpful, which made us feel welcome from the start. While the property itself doesn’t serve evening meals (only daytime dining until 5pm), there are several nearby pubs and restaurants offering great food and a lovely evening atmosphere. Do note that it’s a working harbour, so the town wakes up early – this didn’t bother us, but it’s good to know. Our only small suggestion would be to add a shelf or countertop in the bathroom for toiletries. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Verified reviewRoom was spotless. Good shower. Tea/coffee. Comfortable bed. Room had all the usual basics.
It's just a room above a cafe that closes at 5pm. So not a guesthouse or hotel. There's the option to book breakfast the night before. Otherwise, no human contact at all. If arriving after 5pm you access via a keypad. Room key in key safe, again accessed by a code. All quite efficient. An extra pillow would be good!
