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...).

AustraliaSome obvious maintenance issues but overall really nothing we did not like, except for dogs being permitted to stay in some of the rooms and coming to breakfast with their owners (though not in the main dining room).
Just love this hotel. We stayed here last year and returned for a longer stay this year. The sea view rooms are really large by modern standards, and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast in the olde world dining room is lovely, with full views of the beach, and very friendly, helpful staff. If you like old fashioned grandeur, a bit worn around the edges and the feeling of having stepped back in time, this hotel is for you.

United Kingdom2 items listed as being available were not actually provided: biscuits and slippers. Not a big issue, but in my view the room should be at least as advertised. As documented, car parking limited, but streetside is free, but space may be a bit of a walk away and up the hill.
I chose a room with a sea view, and that is exactly what you got, a full sea view, as the promenade is just across the road Self Service Cooked Breakfast buffet, was very good, and the dining room also has the sea view. Restaurant staff respectful, kind and helpful. Dinners were also very good. Nice quality shampoo and gel. Iconic hotel where Queen Victoria stayed as well as other royals in the heart of the Burton, the architect's, St Leonard's with lovely park behind and seafront in front

United KingdomDinner was really disappointing. Everything was pre-prepared or reheated, and it was very far from the quality we would expect for the price we were charged. Chips were burned, fajitas dry, fruit crumble raw. We'd have had a better meal at Wetherspoons. It's a shame. We work in Hastings regularly and love this hotel - we've also had great meals in the hotel restaurant before, so it was very unexpected to have such an awful dinner. I don't think the chef we've met on previous occasions can possibly have been there that night. He clearly cared about the food he was presenting, and whoever was in charge that night clearly didn't. In fairness to the hotel, we didn't complain at the time. We should have, but we were grieving the death of a close friend and just didn't have the mental energy. We were sad anyway, and a good dinner wouldn't have changed that - but it really would have helped.
Lovely big room and a friendly welcome at Reception. Great to have a restaurant on site, but we would hesitate before eating there again.
