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 rooms could have been a little cleaner, there was a lot of dust on the surfaces. The bathroom was a wet room but the water stopper didn't work and 3/4 the bathroom was wet.
The restaurant in the hotel had an amazing breakfast, it was perfect for a meal before checking out! Car park in the back of the hotel was perfect for the weekend.

United KingdomExcellent location. I had the room I had seen online with seaview that I was hoping for. I had seen this hotel on my first visit to Southend on sea and had decided I would stay there one day! Everything about my stay was excellent! I especially liked the chain on the door! ( not had that before) , gave extra security and felt safe. Thanks!

United KingdomThe shower head needed descaling (as it drenched the bathroom due to the nozzles being blocked) and there needed to be a way to access/use plug socket by the tea/coffee making facilities, without having to live the kettle. Towels needed to be bath sheets, not bath towels!
Staff were fabulous; service was great - at all times, and quality of food was quite exceptional.

United KingdomI expected this to be cleaner, and more attention detail. The chairs in our room were stained, the pillows on the bed old and well used. The rainforest shower head was dirty and needed a good clean. For the price I paid, it wasn’t up to standard and I’m disappointed with being overcharged. For a luxury boutique hotel, I’d expect more attention put into the finish.
Great location, easy to access

SwitzerlandThe bathroom is far too small and the shower is so ‘open’ water floods the whole bathroom floor whenever someone takes a shower. Have to then use the towels to mop it all up. There’s also no ventilation in the bathroom. The room and hotel in general is very warm which can be uncomfortable. We had three meals in the restaurant and had to wait an excessive time for food to arrive, although the food was very nice. Generally is expensive for what you get.
The bar and restaurant are very nice, the room was comfortable and we had an estuary view room which was also nice. Good location for Southend town centre and the pier / beach.
