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.).

The location was fantastic, within walking distance of everything needed and with a beautiful beachfront just on the doorstep. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming at Alexandra Hotel, and Maria was especially kind and helpful throughout our stay.

United KingdomThere were a couple of negatives, we had out of date milk in the room (which is why my tea tasted off when we got there) but was changed very quickly at Reception. The shower temperature is hard to control and it takes a bit of effort to turn it off.
It was situated exactly where we wanted to be for the Motor Show on the Western Lawns. Our room had been refurbished to a high standard and we had a lovely sea view. Slightly confusing, we still can’t work out whether they serve breakfast as it doesn’t say there is a restaurant in the hotel but it says bed-and-breakfast elsewhere.

United KingdomThe shower pressure was quite poor, third floor if that’s still how it works. The room was a little crowded but it had a spare bed so I may have overlooked that when booking.
The bed was comfortable and the location was great. The receptionist was very friendly. Would stay again but would potentially ask to move rooms if I’d noticed the shower pressure earlier.

United KingdomHad to run water for ages and ages before it got even slightly warm. Water pressure in shower also poor. When I called down to reception it was clearly not a surprise about not being able to get hot water and they just suggested I should have run the water for even longer. Unsightly pigeon muck on side window and visible on exterior of building immediately outside.
Warm welcome on arrival. Comfortable bed. Nice side view of the sea. Room and bathroom very clean, newly fitted bathroom. Generally a good and comfortable stay.

SpainThe hotel is located right in front of the beach. 12min walk from the railway station. Many cafés and restaurants around. The single room was somewhat small but had all I need and was very clean. Bed comfortable and the shower worked very well. I am so glad I booked this hotel! I got an upgrade on my room and it made my stay even better! Monica at the reception was absolutely amazing and helpful. The whole staff was. My first visit to Eastbourne was an amazing experience thanks to Alexandra hotel.

United KingdomDescription of the room as 'corner sea view'- was a bit of an overstatement as there was not much sea visible from the windows. The noise from the street guarantees an early wake up, but there isn't much the hotel can do about it
Great location, plenty of parking space, and the hotel offers parking permit for £2 per day. The room was clean and seemed recently refurbished. Very nice and helpful staff

United Kingdomroom service needed more attention. Sink not cleaned on one day, toiletries not replaced (not enough for four days). As it was hot I asked that the quilt was not replaced in the cover, the bed was not touched on one day. The plug in the sink jammed on day one, it was only partially fixed and did not work properly
