Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWhat a beautiful gem at the heart of Fistral Beach. Stayed here for 1 night for a stopover on the 17th July 2023. I could not be more pleasantly surprised. Staff was amazing. They have advised about parking etc (some free parking on site, some charged at £15 per night, there is also free parking right outside on main road), they were more than happy to explain pool facilities, restaurant, bars etc. Check in was pleasant and not rushed. Very welcoming. The hotel itself has a very modern but warm feel to it. Gorgeous seats by entrance overlooking bay with stunning costal views. Room was very clean with nice welcoming tea/coffee selection with different types of Cornish tea as well as a cute jar of shortbreads! Also a quick side note, room smelled gorgeous! 😀 Bathroom was, again, very clean with a lovely selection of toiletries. If you are staying here, do not worry about your shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, hand wash or even a body moisturiser. The selection of these in this hotel would last a family of 4 for about a week! Clean towels and lots of them with bathrobes and slippers. They only 1 thing I found slightly annoying (very slightly) the room was very very hot. Especially after a shower. Windows open only a tiny bit which is a shame because they could easily be opened a lot more and still safe with kids, pets, etc. However, I believe this might have been mentioned before as the fan (tall, standing one) that was provided was more than enough to make sure the stay was comfortable as much as possible. Will definitely be back, hopefully for more than 1 stopover night thats for sure! Thank you Esplanade and Staff.

United KingdomThe breakfast is £25 per person each morning! Which was a lot when you only have cereal or toast and tea! So we ended up going into town every day for breakfast. Loads of light came through the windows so the room wasn’t dark! Noise coming from what we could only think was a fan or generator out the back! Beds are quite small large double was still too small!
The location was perfect!!! and it was lovely modern and clean.

United KingdomThe fact that you had to pay extra if you wanted a cappuccino, latte or any other choice of coffee other than a standard coffee.
Breakfast was good but the continental breakfast could not really be called that as it only offered pastries and small cousants. Usually a continental breakfast offers salami and other cold meats, cheese selection, bread rolls etc.

United KingdomRoom far too hot (even with a fan on and windows open) bed hard and pillows flat and hard, food in the restaurant wasn't the best. This is our second stay and on our first the bed and pillows were perfect & the room was on a higher floor with no temperature issues, so I think it's luck of the draw which room you have.
Spotlessly clean, great staff, brilliant service, great location. Spa toiletries in the room are heavenly, in room tea and coffee making facilities are brilliant, lots of choice and the little jar of shortbread is a lovely touch.
