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 at all !!
Everything ! … From the moment we arrived Chris the owner was so friendly and helpful, he checked us in, showed us around, then carried our luggage up to our rooms for us. The property was spotless, the rooms were lovely and clean with a lovely comfy bed. The Breakfast was gorgeous a lovely HOT fresh cooked ‘clean’ breakfast - no nasty greasy breakfast here - all served by Chris who is a lovely host and is very helpful and knowledgeable on the areas and where to go and what to do. A weekend in a beautiful clean Adult only hotel right across the road from the beach with such a friendly host, you couldn’t ask for a better weekend away. We couldn’t fault our stay all all and before leaving booked for our return stay.

United KingdomNothing, this is an excellent hotel we couldn't find any fault with anything. Just wished we'd stayed longer two nights was not enough.
Very clean throughout the hotel, our room was spotless and comfortable (room 5). Chris the host was very polite and helpful, Chris no 2 in the ln kitchen, breakfast was fantastic very fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay, the hotel is at the north shore area which was away from the hustle and bustle of Blackpool, but only a ten minuet ride via the trams. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again

United KingdomThe Fossil Tree ticked all the boxes for us pre stay and made even better by the warm hospitality shown by Chris & Christine during our stay. Well appointed rooms and fabulous breakfast in particular! The weather during our stay was not so good, but would still recommend a seaside walk into town as a good bit of exercise. If needed a shirt tram trip or if travelling in 2 or above Uber offers more value for money.

United KingdomAll good for us.
Excellent Breakfast. High quality, cooked to perfection. Lovely welcoming hosts into their spotlessly clean home. A very nice touch was the honesty bar. A great selection of wines, spirits beers and lagers. Not forgetting confectionery for those with a sweet tooth. Although we didn't use it on this occasion, when we return with friends I am sure we would spend an evening in the lounge and use the honesty bar. Chris, our host was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and local bus services. This will be our 'go to' hotel in future when visiting Blackpool area.

United KingdomThere really wasn't anything to dislike, top notch place to stay.
This hotel was the perfect venue for us and we will most definitely stay there again next year. The nicest surprise was finding a little tub of Gluten free biscuits in our room on arrival, as my husband is Coeliac. It was very much appreciated and something nobody has ever thought to do before. Also, they have an 'honesty bar' in the lounge downstairs which is a great idea, and again, something I have never seen in a hotel before.

United KingdomWe found everything very satisfactory and have no complaints whatsoever.
We found the hotel to be exactly what we needed. We were looking for a quiet hotel at the Northern end of Blackpool and the Fossil Tree fitted the bill perfectly. The breakfast was extremely tasty and ample and the addition of a Honesty Bar/Snack facility was a brilliant idea! Chris and Christine were very warm and friendly and were excellent hosts! Thank you both!!

United KingdomLoved our little stay at the Fossil Tree. Amazing service, fantastic food, and a reasonably priced 'honesty bar'. It's peaceful and quiet but only a short tram ride to the bustle with a tram stop very close to the hotel. On site parking is a massive plus too! We will definitely return.

United KingdomOnly thing was it was a little further away from things than we thought if you walk maybe 40 minutes or more to pier however their was tram stop right over the road and that only toke maybe 15_20 mins depending where u stopped so it wasn't too bad. maybe would want it a bit closer to pier walking wise for us however that wouldn't put us off coming again purely in how good the place is and how good the hosts are worth the visit
I liked the honesty bar it's a really good idea loved it .I also liked the fact it had parking and didn't have to pay for it .The breakfast was superb the room was very clean and spacious and the hosts were amazing really nice always asked how my day went and the hosts also went above and beyond by sorting out birthday balloons and cake for my friends birthday for when she arrived she loved it thankyou so much
