Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

New ZealandPerhaps a little pricier than I would like, but certainly not unreasonable.
The Black Rock House was exactly what I needed after a long journey from New Zealand. Clean, tidy, well-equipped, spacious, and not to mention the host, Vincent, was incredibly helpful and accommodating (and cooks a great breakfast). The house isn't in the centre of Hastings, but it's a reasonable and straightforward walk into the town.

The place is exquisite and very individual. Much attention given to your comfort with lovely extras supplied. The room was decorated and furnished to a high standard with comfortable bed. Vincent was a great host very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable The breakfast was delicious and the dining experience was very relaxing It was also in a nice, quiet road with plenty of parking available at the time of our stay The house is walking distance to the beach and restaurants Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area

United KingdomNothing at all!
Wow! What can I say? A luxurious and quirky B&B replete with beautiful antiques, paintings and comfy, comfy rooms. Vincent is a consummate host, who served us such excellent breakfasts in their elegant dining room that we did not once consider having breakfast out. Armed with plenty of recommendations from Vincent, we wrenched ourselves away from the tranquil B&B and really enjoyed ourselves at St Leonard’s and the Old Town. Black Rock House is equidistant to them both. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else the next time I come to Hastings.

United KingdomCan't think of anything.... maybe the walk up from town might be a bit demanding, but a cab is only £5.
Vincent welcomed us to his and Julian's charrming and very quirky victorian house with a large G+T. The room was comfortable, with a large double, plenty of storage and a big bathroom. The house is interestingly packed with books and ephemera. Vincent cooks a legendary breakfast, where Clovis the St Bernard joined us. Altogether a great experience, highly recommended.

United KingdomNothing- I wish I'd booked earlier and perhaps paid slightly less, but it was still worth the price.
I couldn't have asked for a better welcome- the house is beautiful, my room was spotless and very comfortable with a great view, and a strong gin and tonic started my holiday off well. Even my fellow guests were a delight. The location is also ideal- slightly further back from the seafront, so very peaceful, but still with a decent sea view and everything in easy walking distance. The breakfast was well worth the ecstatic reviews- just don't fill up on bread before you've tried Vincent's scrambled eggs.

United KingdomThis has to be one of the best B&B's we've stayed in. Everything about it was excellent from the amazing decor to the extremely comfortable beds and amazing breakfasts (the scrambled eggs were truly the best we've tasted) all laid out on a huge dining table with every kind of jams, marmalades, curds you can think off. The hosts Vincent and Julian were lovely and very friendly who welcomed us on arrival with a drink of choice and nibbles, such a lovely touch which we haven't experienced elsewhere and we were joined by the resident St Bernard called Clovis who duly elbowed my husband out of the sofa to sit next to me 😂 We highly recommend this B&B.

United KingdomThe room was big and clean. We had everything we needed and the house is located only a 15 minute walk away from the beach and town centre. Vincent is incredibly friendly and helpful, sharing very good tips about the town and places to see. He also prepares a great breakfast. We would recommend staying at the Black Rock House to anyone, especially if you like a little personal touch to your stay away from home.

United KingdomNothing to fault.
We loved our stay at Black Rock House. The place was full of character and wonderful decor. Vincent was a personable, hospitable and very entertaining host. We felt very welcomed and looked after - spending time chatting to Vincent was an unexpected but wonderful highlight of our trip. The breakfast was fantastic, delicious, as was the glass of wine that Vincent gave us before we headed out for the evening. Bed was super comfy. Shower was great. We couldn’t fault the place or the host. We’ll be back 🙂

United KingdomLovely Victorian house, beautifully and comfortably furnished in keeping with the period, with shared dining room and living room for guests to eat, drink and chat together. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable with lovely touches like a mini fridge, ground coffee, biscuits and quality hand soap and shower gel. Just a 10 minute walk from the Old Town with lots to do and see. Parking on the street was easy.
