Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 double bed in the room we had (#9) was a little on the small side and is not really geared up for spending a lot of time in it (e.g. working, or watching TV), but then again, you don't go to Eastbourne to stay in your room. Make sure you ask for a room on the ground floor if you are struggling with stairs.
The breakfast and ladies working there are superb and better than in many hotels we've stayed in. Great location. Very friendly and accommodating Parking is well arranged and the associated council charge small compared to what you could be charged as standard without a permit.

The en-suite bathroom facilities were excellent with towels, flannels, soap and hair/body wash provided. The rooms contained everything you could need.

United KingdomAlthough the room we had was extremely clean, and everything in the bathroom worked perfectly, it was maybe a little tired. But I'm not complaining at all, and if we went to Eastbourne again wouldn't hesitate to book a room at 17 Willington. Thanks.
Very friendly staff, anything asked was no problem to them, extra toast, coffee, no tomato but extra egg !

United KingdomThe bathroom let it down a little bit. The shower was too close to the wall, so i had to stand really close to it to get a good shower. The tiles on the floor didn't look too good, and the shower curtain had some mould on the inside at the bottom of it.
We liked the location, size of the room, breakfast, and staff. The beds were excellent, and the mattress, sheets, bedding, and pillows were all really clean and comfy.

United KingdomNothing, it was all great.
The manager and staff went above and beyond, very friendly and really wanted us to enjoy our stay. The location was so very convenient, only fifty yards from the lawns and prom. The breakfast was one of the best I've had anywhere, and included homemade marmalade. We were in Eastbourne for the Airshow and we even saw some practice flying from our room.

BelgiumA comfortable chair in the room would have been a nice extra - now the only place to sit and rest for a while is the bed.
Very friendly welcome, and we received some tips for good food in the neighbourhood. Breakfast was excellent, and the people making and serving it very friendly. Room was clean. Location is a perfect start point for walks along the shore.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
Everything! Hosts were very welcoming, friendly, attentive & nothing was too much trouble. Our stay was to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary - unknown to us our daughter had rung the owner, Janine, to ask if she could organise a bottle of bubbly & some chocolates to be put in our room for us for our arrival which she was more than happy to do. She even contacted our daughter to let her know it was there! Parking was easy & the £2-35p a day permit allowed us to park anywhere in the zone which covered a big area including along the seafront.
