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):
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 KingdomNothing to add here.
The little extras Hot chocolate, as well as branded Tea & Coffee. Nice milk NOT in the annoying plastic pots. Unexpected robes and slippers too. Amazing pool. Was quiet as went for a swim when others were at breakfast. Outstanding view from the window. Had some spa treatments. So lovely. Left relaxed and ready to face a new week.

The swimming pool, cinema and outdoor play area are great! Most staff being very understanding and accepting of additional needs and dietary requirements.

United KingdomWe booked for a special occasion for our children. The staff went out of their way to make their trip one to remember. From personalised cards from Santa to the reception staff pretending the booking was from Santa. The facilities and care for children is exceptional and we can’t wait to book again!

United KingdomBeing moved from one room to another, after check in due to a mistake by the hotel staff & being asked to go immediately back to do this. We were away from the hotel & on our way to dinner in another restaurant, so to do this was a real inconvenience, making us late for our dinner reservation & ending up with a much smaller, less comfortable room!
The setting, staff & original room were lovely.

United KingdomI’ve been coming to Newquay for years and have stayed at the Esplanade before but it’s gotten so run down. My real concern is the hygiene. The pool area was very shocking I walked right back to my room and couldn’t dare go in. The pool was so cloudy (I really do hope it’s not what I assume and it actually gets cleaned - with kids swimming, it should!) and there’s been a strong smell around there for a long time I assume would have been sorted by now. The photos are just moulds I noticed in the bathroom and crumbs of food on the floor upon my arrival. You have a great location with good sized rooms, just get it cleaned and maintained well. And do something about your menu, with lovely fish spots on the beach, you have some competition to live up to.
The view is amazing but the hotel is so dated now.
