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 fact there is nowhere to socialize and that evening meals are not served. For 'oldies' like us we like everything in one place so to have a meal, spend time having drinks together then just go upstairs to bed is what is required.
Hotel is in a perfect position right on the front overlooking the sea. Unfortunately it's very tired and needs a lot of t.l.c. Breakfast was really good, hot food very fresh and plenty of it. Unfortunately evening meals are not served and there is no lounge area in which to socialize, which was something we would have really enjoyed as we were a party of over 80 year olds 'having a reunion'. There is a bar but strangely located in the breakfast area and the only place to consume a drink is at reception. Beds were comfortable and everything in the room was nicely clean. Staff were lovely and very helpful. I guess the price reflects the state of the hotel and I feel money will be invested in it but for now it's cheap and cheerful.

United KingdomThe room was basic, we couldn’t get WiFi at all, it also had a smell of something damp. Needs some tlc on the top floor. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great view, but then you get what you for.
Location was amazing, near the pier. Plenty of options for food & drink locally within a reasonable walking distance. Reasonable late booking price.

United Kingdomnoting to complain about.
Hotel is a short bus ride from the station. I was amazed by the lovely room I was given - and just wished that I had read the other reviews, because I could have checked-in and enjoyed myself in the very comfortable room - in retrospect, there was little point in trying to see something of Eastbourne, because the weather was truly awful. Good to have a bathroom with a bath - so many places just provide an ensuite the size of a telephone box, with only a shower squeezed-in. A nice surprise was an included cooked breakfast. Near a bus stop for a bus to the Station. Close to a Tesco Express.

United KingdomBreakfast was not good. The bacon and sausages were boiled so were very bland and watery. The coffee was not tasty either. We also tried the continental, but this too was not great. Really hard small rolls and bland cheese & ham slices. We only ate breakfast on the first morning, but decided to eat out the next morning, to find somewhere with a nicer breakfast - just behind was a Green King pub which did a fantastic breakfast.
Room was great - excellent view from our room. Location was ideal Facilities in the room were great For what we paid, we were really happy with the accomodation

United KingdomAn on-site bar was not available as standard. It would’ve been nice to have an evening tea or drink at the hotel. One could have tea in the room, but sometimes a more comfortable setting is preferred. They do open the breakfast and bar area for special occasions or when it is hired out by groups, so not all that bad.
I had a sea-view room. Full English breakfast was served as well as gluten-free toast. The location of the hotel, on Marine Parade was ideal for beach viewing, near the main Pier and various cosmopolitan shops nearby and a short to comfortable walk to the city centre shops, restaurants, pubs and the Eastbourne railway station. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomHot water in the sink was very temperamental and the shower wasn’t very powerful. Breakfast was average. I asked for scrambled eggs and they weren’t fresh eggs. I didn’t eat them.
We had a lovely room with great view of the sea. The room was quite big with a separate sitting area. The bed was comfortable and happy to find a kettle to make hot drinks. The hotel is in a great location for the beach right in front as well as the town centre.

United KingdomThe decor was very dated, and I definitely should have asked for a mat for the bath / shower to stop slipping (my fault as there was a sign saying they were available at reception - I only stayed the one night). The only big thing for me were the pillows, even both together they weren’t as thick as one standard pillow. I’d suggest at least putting two on each side of the double bed at least if getting new ones isn’t feasible.
Great value for money, definitely worth a stay. Fabulous breakfast, full English options plus yoghurts, toast, cereal, even some cold meats and cheese! Friendly staff and a comfy bed. Right on the seafront with a short walk into the city centre.
