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 KingdomTo remind other guests to turn lights off that operate the fans. Probably, put a note in the rooms for guests to be mindful of others.
The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. The location was great to the town and sea front. The help I received with my luggage was very much appreciated.

United KingdomAmazing host, nice attention to detail with the rooms and exceptional customer service. The ice cold bottle of water that was handed to me on arrival was just what I needed, it had been a warm and muggy day so it was a welcome refreshment. The host even remembered my name when I came down in the morning saying ‘Good Morning Natasha!’, which is such a nice personal touch. Breakfast was delicious - highly recommend the Greek yoghurt, strawberry and granola pot. Location is ideal, a pleasant 10 minute walk down the promenade to the pier. Rooms were extremely clean and you can tell the property is well looked after by its owners. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

United KingdomThe properly is completely set apart from the other houses on the street. Looks fantastic, great curb appeal.. we have a ford transit custom which is my husbands baby and the parking was brilliant as we did not have to park on the street which was really appreciated. On arrival the house was gleaming clean and smelt lovely! The decor was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted for a night away. Having never been the Clacton before, the guest book was brilliant, very informative and full of personality from the hosts! Our delux double room with en suite was spotless, light and airy and just lovely! The hosts were brilliant! The attention to detail was seamless on arrival and the breakfast was a pleasure. All in all, got to give it 5* and would highly recommend to anyone with any needs as they seem to be met at every turn. Thanks so much for a fab stay.. Lou & Tom

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn’t like about Viva Guest House apart from I wish we had stayed longer.
Viva Guest House is an amazing place to spend a few days or even a week or two away by the sea, beautifully decorated and well presented, clean, fresh and very well maintained. Excellent hospitality, Kirk is a great host and an excellent cook with attention to detail in every aspect. Room was on the ground floor, very spacious, beautifully decorated with a quirky furnishing, and those little seaside themed touches, good sized wet room style bathroom, all the facilities you could want. If you’re ever thinking of visiting Clacton-On-Sea then this is the place to go. We will definitely be returning when we visit again 👍👍👍👍
