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 KingdomVery little - as above, another shower head would have been nice
As always, my stay at the Last Post was comfortable and affordable. Better facilities than many higher-priced hotels, easy check-in and great customer care. Perfect location for Central Southend. Very comfortable bed and a good shower although I would have preferred a hand-held shower to go with the rainfall head. Literally 2 minutes from Central Station or to the shops. Didn't eat downstairs but expect it to be good.

United KingdomI honestly can't complain about the room or staff, if I had to complain about anything it would probably be the cost for a twin bed room for 1 night
Nice comfy bed and very clean room. Hostess was very nice and conversed some rules regarding my daughter who was staying with me.

United KingdomCheck-in process was not easy. I followed the sign that said Reception, but there was no obvious desk or staff. It turned out to be a phone at the end of the bar. That bar was actually closed though so there was no one to ask. When I did find someone to ask he didn't know, and I had to stand at the busy second bar for quite a long time before someone explained what I needed to do. Maybe some clearer signage, or instructions emailed to customers would help. Everything after that point was really good.
Room was clean and decorated to a high standard, I loved the artwork. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was great, but the soap dispenser at the sink did not dispense, luckily I had brought my own soap.

United KingdomWash cloth could have been nice with some shampoo in case I went swimming on the beach, and be able to open the windows. And or be able to control a fan in the room on a hot day.
Very quiet in the room and very spacious. It was also very close to the beach and the high street. Also very close to the central line railway station where you can park over night for 24 hours plus with a discount. Without discount cost just under £10.00 for 24 hours
