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...).

United KingdomThe welcome and check-in process were excellent. Very friendly and obliging. We were given a pass to park the car in one of their parking spots, which was very handy. Although they don't do breakfast as such they left two small boxes of Corn flakes, coffee, tea, and milk in the room, as well as two youghurts and two chocolate croissants. Not forgetting two bottles of water. A great place to stay,right on the seafront... Excellent... We will go back. Thank you

United KingdomThe outside and downstairs areas could do with some love just to make things more appealing. Since we were only needing the room and were intent on exploring it wasn't such an issue, put just some touches at least here and there would help.
Fantastic location, large refurbished room and friendly welcome. The drinks and snacks for breakfast, plus the fridge was also great.

United KingdomThe hotel is currently being redecorated in the corridors. However, this did not affect my stay. The rainfall shower head had a rubber spout missing, so it was pouring water from this section, which was uncomfortable and made an unnecessary noise, plus a number of the other rubber spouts appeared blocked fully or partially. The toilet was quite tightly squashed in the corner of the bathroom between two walls, not allowing much leg room space.
Great location. It is very near to the beach and high street that has numerous shops and restaurants. Plus, it was so quiet at night even though on the main high street through road and the windows were open. The room was clean and very spacious. With ample storage space. Plus, there was a lovely continental breakfast, including orange juice, cereal, pastry, and yoghurt. There was also a great tea/coffee facility with a fridge.

United States of AmericaBeds could be a bit softer. I know some like firm mattresses but it is hard to get used to if you're a side sleeper. No other issues noted and well worth the value for location and cleanliness.
Excellent location and communication. Room was well stocked and clean. Everything worked great. The staff was excellent and willing to help with any of our needs.

NetherlandsThe hotel could use a freshening up of the exterior and decor, but understandably the past few years must have been very challenging for a hotel that could not operate during pandemic lockdowns. The owners deserve a break to carry on their business and build it up further. All credit to their tenacity and guest oriented approach!
Very warm welcome. Very kind owners, who went out of their way to provide excellent service. As during the night the fire alarm went off (false alarm) they felt the need not only to reimburse the night (which really wasn't necessary) they also supplied us with a bottle of wine and drinks for the children, with an apology card. In our view we prefer a fire alarm that goes off when nothing is wrong to an alarm that doesn't go off when there is. Despite the hotel clearly having had a hard corona time the service and warmth made up for any minor discomfort. The hotel is ideally suited right next to the beach, with unobstructed sea views, and is perfectly located for anyone who is travelling to catch a ferry at Harwich and needs a place to stay over. Ample parking space provided by the hotel.
