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 are 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 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 KingdomOnly minor fault was the room TV wasn’t the best the picture kept pixelating ! Everything else was spot on thankyou.
Breakfast was simply superb, plenty of choice and staff very helpful. The hotel location was 10/10 for exploring Eastbourne close to all amenities. If I ever revisit I will definitely rebook at The View Hotel

United KingdomThe reception staff were excellent-desk always attended-service fast and with a smile, showing genuine pleasure in assisting us and giving clear, helpful advice. The parking arrangements are particularly excellent given it is a busy seaside resort. The hotel looks as though it has pretty recently been refurbished as all decor looks in good condition. The rooms are also of good condition although the woodwork does need revarnishing but all else looks pretty new, love the gorgeous smelling soap and bath gel. All the connecting and communal areas also look clean and well-maintained. The Restaurant and Bar/Cafe areas are both relaxed and welcoming with excellent sea views and great air-conditioning. The food range could possibly be improved but the value was good as was the quality and speed of service. Breakfast also very good. Sausages are usually a good way to judge food quality so these could be better-given how many hotels there are in Eastbourne maybe a local pork/beef farm collaboration would make good selling point as traditional coarse texture sausages can lift a breakfast. Overall I'd happily live in this hotel all year round xx

United KingdomThe breakfast is a bit old school. It’s a ‘fry up’ buffet and the ‘continental’ element was limited and the coffee is from a coffee machine you make yourself so always pretty poor quality.
I know the clue is in the name but the view directly onto the sea is heavenly, especially because of the big balcony and French windows. The location is perfect: the sea, pier, Devonshire Park Theatre just behind. My single room with balcony, sea view and breakfast on a Friday in May was £112, which felt like good value. Staff were lovely. You can buy a parking voucher for £2.20 and park on the street just by the hotel.
