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.).

United KingdomThe only con was that even with high ceilings you could hear the people above walking around quite heavily so we had a very early awakening on Sunday morning
Really spacious, lovely room with big bed and sofa as well as a smart TV. The bathroom was also great with a bath and shower! We wished we stayed longer!

United KingdomOn this visit I was taken ill with a severe chest infection. I'd paid for breakfast on both days but realised that it would be impossible for me to stay. I phoned and left a message, requesting that instead of a breakfast on the Saturday morning, would it be possible for them to make me a sandwich to take on the road? Eventually a chambermaid came to my door and although I repeated my request...it was obvious that I wasn't going to get any help in this? I ended up going to a nearby shop and buying what I needed and decided to stay that Saturday and departed the hotel at 03:00 on the Sunday morning.
This is one of my favourite hotels in Eastbourne, it is in a great location, unfortunately on this visit, my favourite bar...The Stage Door, was shut for refurbishment....but that's not the fault of this hotel. Very friendly staff and outside of Wetherspoons, offers quite astonishingly cheap prices in the little bar.

United KingdomNot a lot.....it's pretty much perfect
This is my third time here, but I find it very relaxing, and there is lovely art works, in the rooms, and the building generally. The atmosphere is very calm, and the staff is very easy to approach, and normally solve must problem. The breakfast menu is very simple, but is freshly made for, by the cook, in the morning, and is worth the wait. I was in room 203, which was a single room, was still very comfortable, despite it being a slightly uncomfortable bed, but otherwise happy with my stay, probably be back next year.

United KingdomDog barking outside was the only noise irritation and short lived disturbance. Creaky floor in places.
Genuine, polite and accommodating staff when there is opportunity to meet staff. Quiet room, at this time of the year, which enabled a relaxing break alone, clean room and hotel. Two pillows on the single bed are too thin. I felt like a letter in an envelope!!! Bring your own plump pillow or support pillow if needed. I found the bed comfortable. Not too soft, medium firm. Bath quite deep to step into for less mobile or short person. There was a hair dryer, little fan and iron and ironing board in the wardrobe. Relaxing atmosphere and decor in hotel communal lounge areas. Ideal location for walks and exploring surrounding area. No banging/slamming doors during my stay! Hooray!!
