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 KingdomCreaky floor boards and noise from rooms above us. But this can't be helped. Hotel is very old and dated but charming and location brilliant so for a one or two night break it's fine.
Staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was basic, clean and very affordable and in a perfect location. Its old and tired but this adds to it's charm.

United KingdomI think the daily room prices are getting a bit steep..I understand pay/ NI contributions have increased but the rooms are still pretty standard, well appointed but standard. We have to book through Booking.com as we can’t join a coach trip for the whole journey … ( they DO seem to be excellent value though, especially if your travelling from the north of UK) …we are only an hour a way and no pick up point…we were quoted £160 for 1 night for a twin basic no sea view room..no breakfast..!!!…. We did pick another date which was slightly less in the end as we enjoy staying there so much, so we we’re happy with our stay.
Brilliant hotel…we come for short 3-4 night breaks when there is availability in summer….super staff in all departments and the room cleanliness is excellent….the free car parking is excellent as we won’t park and probably can’t park anywhere else for 4 days..if it didn’t offer free parking we couldn’t go

United KingdomThe parking arrangements should be much better and there should be signs for validating one's car (it has to be done within 20 minutes of arrival or you will incur a £100 fine). The hotel bar closed at 11pm, which seemed too early. The hotel was clearly once a big deal in Bognor, but it really could do with a thorough spucing-up so it doesn't look so tired and rundown in places.
The sea view was pleasant. Breakfast was a traditional one, hot and well served. The staff were pleasant. At times it seemed like we were in a timewarp back to the 70s or 80s, but that wasn't so bad.

United KingdomIt has a major issue with random loud fire alarms going off over night apparently due to people setting them off with showers. Nobody manning the front desk to check what's going on and frankly Faulty Towers was probably better organised. To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if that 0600 fire alarm was a wake up call for two large coaches departing at 0700...
Good location for where we needed and good parking. Close to sea. Corner room was nicely refurbished

United Kingdomsecurity and responses. sitting in room watching tv at 2150 when our door was opened by someone that was clearly not a resident and could only be described as an undesirable who stank of weed. he said sorry wrong room and shot off. reported to evening bar staff as no one on reception. also reported to reception the following morning and was really surprised that reception was unaware of the incident. not sure that you want undesirables wandering about the hotel at night trying doors to access rooms. was also told no cctv in corridors. A really frightening experience. lots of single elderly residents would be unable to ward off an attack.
