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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomHotel was a little old dated, therefore some things were damaged making the room look scruffy. But can’t fault anything else.
Staff were brilliant and really helpful. Nothing was too much. We had a lovely peaceful stay. The hotel was a short walk to the beach.

United KingdomWish the facilities (e.g. pool and jacuzzi) were open later. Felt weird having someone else dish up my breakfast, would have liked to do it myself.
Was my first visit to Bournemouth and absolutely loved it. Will definitely be staying here next time we visit. Beach is only a five minute walk away, spa treatment was lovely, wish there could’ve been a birthday discount or something though. Staff were friendly and bar staff very chatty. Lovely atmosphere to sit and have a drink.

United Kingdomlift painfully slow in arriving...air conditioning unit in room was noisy and it wasn't even switched on!! It kept clicking all night, luckily turning if on and off again seemed to fix it, or we would have insisted on another room. oh, the 10 percent service charge added to your drinks at the bar, seemed a bit cheeky. I know you don't have to pay it, but come on management ....sort it out ....
ease of check in, room good, location good, car parking available, fabulous outside seating areas bar staff friendly and attentive

United KingdomI thought the room was a bit out dated with the mahogany furniture. There was also a wedding on the 2nd night we had to share the other bar with which was a shame along with not being able to eat there that night.
Enjoyed the facilities and of course the location was amazingly close to everything. Staff were very nice.

United KingdomHotel looks a little dated with 70s decor in corridors, and streets leading to hotel from town centre not most salubrious. Best approached from seafront side!
Breakfasts are exceptional: quality produce and choice, tablecloths, served from hot tureens and experience is made to feel special. Pool, jacuzzi and spa facilities are spacious, clean and massages are heavenly. Superb friendly service. Location fantastic- close to everything.

United KingdomRan out of a couple of things at breakfast on bank holiday Monday which was a shame but I understand pre-ordering ahead would have been difficult with the bank holiday. Staff could have been more attentive and smiley. They were very informative but lacked a smile and “have a nice day” for example.
