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 KingdomWe'd booked and paid for 2 rooms with breakfast included via booking.com , unfortunately this didn't come with the rooms anymore which we were unaware of 🤔 the host put together a small plate with 1 slice bacon which coukd have done with being cooked a bit more , spoonful of beans and an egg and a rack of toast this was a bit disappointing as we were looking forward to a nice breakfast, but otherwise breakfast was £9.50 each , I specifically picked this hotel due to the fact you got breakfast so if we'd have had to pay the extra we would definitely have found another B&B for less . Juice was out on the breakfast table but no glasses but when we asked some were brought out , We had teabags in the room but no milk whereas the other room we booked for our grandaughters had milk but no teabags so we swapped luckily . I know it's under newer ownership as we have been twice before with old owners and it was always spot on which is why we picked it again , Just feel it needs a few tweaks I.e glasses at breakfast and making sure rooms have tea and coffe .
Close to attractions , free parking , host was friendly..

ItalyAs I wrote previously, the décor is tired and the owner did apologise in advance for this. It is a work in progress which seems to be going in the right direction.
The hotel was east to find, right on the seafront at the Northern end of the promenade. We were met on arrival by the owner and helped to our room. The room was functional and clean if a little dated in décor. Tea and coffee makings were available so all was good. Parking was available in the small car park to the front of the hotel and it appeared that plenty of parking spaces were available in the surrounding roads. Overall it was a great place to stay as we visited friends in the area.

United KingdomThe bedroom and bathroom interiors are dated (a program of refurbishment is ongoing).
A period Edwardian hotel currently under new management. The bed was comfortable, the location lovely, opposite the Venetian Gardens and a short walk from the beach. Staff very welcoming, breakfast delicious

United KingdomNo Bedside Lamp or means of switching off main light without leaving the warm comforts of the Bed - ie after reading.
Off-road Parking is good - Staff friendly and Welcoming, Good Size Room and Shower Stays at same temperature. Didn't stop for Breakfast - It was basically a Room for the Night with an en-suite Shower and fairly secure Parking - this met all those requirements with ease. - Yes, I would stop at Gable End again

United KingdomIt would be good to have a small fridge in the suite but the staff were kind enough to let us keep our things in the hotel fridge. The cleaner missed a little bit in the bathroom.
Quirky building right on the sea front so you can enjoy a pleasant stroll on the beach. Friendly staff and yummy breakfast was included in the price. They were able to cater to vegans too. We had the family suite so 2 bedrooms a bathroom and a small corridor area. The new owner has big plans for the place so we will be happy to come again and see how it looks.

United KingdomBit of a problem with the loo clearing in room 16 but old pipework and a rising back pipe was probably the cause, I could see that and told the owner. Need a few flushes but got there in the end.
The Gable End is old and dated. Very typical of a mid 20thC coast b&b. However, the new owner of only a few months knows that. He was very pleasant, very open about the current standard of the premises and he has plans for upgrades during 2024/25. However, although dated, certainly the areas of the hotel we saw were clean, beds & linen clean and comfortable. For the price of only £30 a head can't complain. We (group of 3 blokes on a weekend on the lash) suited us fine.
