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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 only things that were unimpressive were the parking in that we had to move our car a few times as not to get a parking ticket and the fact that we did not get the code to the key and had to ring Claire. We did get the text but one day later.
We didn't have breakfast. We liked the amount of teas and coffees on offer. We really liked the venue and surrounding area. Claire on the phone was great.

United KingdomThere wasnt anything we didnt like.
The hotel was within easy walking and driving distance of everywhere we wanted to go. The breakfast service, although not on site, was only 50 yards away and the food was excellent. The rooms and 'common' areas were exceptionally clean.

United KingdomThe shower, although it looked new and in excellent condition was a bit weak when set to a comfortable temperature. (Our room was right at the top of the house so this may have had a part to play). There was also a fault with the toilet where the cistern wasn't refilling properly which couldn't be addressed immediately since we were only staying the weekend. However we did inform the owner so that it can be fixed for following guests.
Check-in was friendly and went smoothly. Parking was available close by and parking discs are provided which is a nice touch. As are the biscuits provided in the room with the tea and coffee. The tea and coffee is also the most generous I have experienced with a plentiful supply of UHT milk. Decaf coffee was also available which was a big bonus for me as I can't drink the regular so I appreciated the thoughtfulness behind it.

United KingdomWe had a room with two single beds. The mattress on my bed would have been more comfortable had it been a little firmer, but it was perfectly ok and the firmness of a mattress is somewhat of a personal thing.
The breakfast was available at a charming cafe/restaurant 2 doors away in another Victorian building. The breakfast was excellent and the menu had dishes suitable for breakfast/lunch or tea. I highly recommend it.

United KingdomNothing any hotel in the area can do about this, but the gulls are very noisy late into the night and early in the morning.
The room had plenty of plugs, especially by the bed. Also, they left plenty of coffee sachets, so you weren’t restricted to one or two drinks a day. The location was brilliant too - a short stroll to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the station and centre of town.

United KingdomCame back to watch the Lionesses in the Euros Semi-final but the bedroom TV had every channel but ITV live! Watched us win on my phone instead 🙂 It just needs re-tuning or its ITVX app logging in with a guest email to activate live TV.
Friendly guest house near the south bay esplanade so it's quiet, but handy for the town centre which is a short walk over Spa Bridge. Comfortable, clean room at a good price.
