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.).

Lovely hotel . Friendly Staff . Lovely outside decking , chairs and sun beds . Couldn’t fault the hotel itself but location wasn’t what we expected . Nothing to do and the town was too far and only a few bars . Our fault for not really looking into the area !

United KingdomVery minor points; the pool was on the chilly side for me, but the sauna was so hot I could barely stand by the door when I opened it to go in. I hate artificial flowers so I’d opt for a fresh display at Reception.
I suppose it’s like buying a house; location, location, location. Marry that with a superbly designed hotel with glorious scenery, excellent food and hospitable staff, and you have a winner. We had a sea view room, that was so comfortable that the rain didn’t bother us. The walks from the hotel were sublime, as indeed were the ferry ride and visit to Overbecks National Trust property.

United KingdomRoom 107 is sold with partial sea view , whilst the room is beautiful and a great size, the view is only visible if you are over 5foot5 or standing up on the tiny balcony . If you do sit on the tiny balcony it feels like you are sitting in a shed as completely surrounded by by wooden panels
Close to the beach , beautiful location , good parking , lovely spa

United KingdomI didn’t like that they said breakfast included and then it’s only continental. I looked back at my email and it does say continental however when you see breakfast included you tend to think cooked. I think they should make that clearer.
Very modern and a luxury appeal.

United KingdomThe pool was on the cold side, and the spa pool (jacuzzi) had too many chemicals (to the point it irritated our eyes) and was very foamy.
The room was very comfortable, the bed in particular was lovley. The view was incredible. The food we had in the restaurant for dinner was excellent.

United KingdomDinner was on the pricy side.
This is a lovely hotel. Although the drive to get there was down a narrow and windy country lanes, the hotel's location directly on a beautiful sandy beach made it well worth it! The hotel was super clean and exceptionally well-organised. The staff were very friendly and always willing to assist. Our bedroom was delightful (loved the complementary gin and tonic) and the hotel even acknowledged my wife's 60th birthday which was really sweet. The bed was also super comfy. They had an electric shuttle that took us to Salcombe and the beach ferry was fantastic! The spa was great with a nice pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The massage was also really good value. All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
