How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Smoke/smell of smoke coming into our room from guests smoking outside on their patio downstairs (even with doors closed), very noisy neighbours late at night (which we know is out of hotel's control!)
Spectacular view of the beautiful garden, friendly staff and great service.

Our room wasn’t the best. We would def book again but request different room. Being an old property with an extension the quality of rooms varied significantly. Ours was second floor, up 2 flights of stairs and was quirky. Plenty of character. Only handshower in bath. I’m sure the helpful staff would have moved us if we had requested but decided to stay put.
Lovely setting. Superb breakfast and eve meals. Very helpful and friendly team. Great pool & spa

Everything was good but on Saturday morning an alarm started to be on for about 20 minutes (5:30am) and around 7am a truck with food delivery came causing a lot of noise, so we didn’t sleep well. Restaurant is bad, we were disappointed with the pies, meat, and bread (seems the cheap one from discount supermarkets). But don’t blame them as typical in this country. All the rest was nice!
The property is well located around 7 minutes drive to Rye and a bit more to reach the beach. Facilities including the SPA are worth it. I recommend for short stays!

The older rooms were a little dated but clean. The 4 poster bed in our room was rather small, but the room was very spacious indeed.
The staff were absolutely amazing. They could not have done more. The bar was well stocked. The restaurant area was very comfortable and spacious. Food was delicious but slightly on the expensive side - but actually - for a treat - it was worth it.

Our room cost £179 which is quite expensive as breakfast wasn’t included however it was part of our honeymoon so we booked a garden patio room , a little tired in decor toilet seat wonky and a chipped tea cup also shower not brilliant so we had baths as plumbing often a problem in older properties but felt that the other issues were just lazy and should be addressed we were offered a suite at no extra cost but we were only there a short time so didn’t want to upheave
Great location spa facilities were good and our meal both breakfast and evening meal very good and the restaurant and lounge areas were very spacious and light, the staff were very helpful and very pleasant
