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 KingdomThe apartment was spotlessly clean and the host was exceptional, with really great communication. Little touches were very appreciated; lights and heating were on when we arrived on a cold evening in Jan. We travelled with our one year old son, and all our requests for him were taken into account. The location was incredible, close to Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate with cycling and walking trails along the cost. There was also loads of information at the apartment with suggestions of things to do in the area. The apartment overlooks Kingsgate beach with great views. We will definitely come back in the summer to make the most of the walks and sea. Thank you so much Simone and family for hosting us!

Friendly & helpful host. Great location... opening the window to see, hear & smell the sea was terrific... Small touches such as washing up liquid/powder etc made life easier..

United KingdomUnfortunately the WiFi connection was not very good, we had trouble maintaining signal. The seats on the sofas were very deep so sitting right back my feet couldn’t reach the floor. The main bedroom had two single mattresses on a large bed frame with two single duvets and one of the mattresses was very soft, very unusual set up. It was expensive so I think for the money I was expecting everything to be perfect. However, I would stop there again because these things in no way ruined our holiday
The location was perfect, wonderful view from the apartment. We were able to walk along the beach to Margate in one direction and Broadstairs in the other. Beautiful building, apartment was very spacious and although we didn’t cook the kitchen had everything you would need. Owner was very friendly and helpful

GermanyThe apartment has a direct view to Kingsgate Bay, Castle and the sea. The rooms were very comfortably furnished, the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Round dining table and a TV in the living room. Five minute walk to Captain Digby's Pub, highly recommend! Also a short walk to Joss Bay, a lifeguarded sand beach. Simone and her family gave us a very warm welcome and we received a lot of information about places to visit. Good starting point for excursions. Parking directly at the house. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a very relaxing week and loved the location. The flat was very clean and well equipped. We toured the area and other seaside places as it was within easy reach of a lot of places. Loved the view from our flat it was so relaxing to see and hear the sea. Simone was really helpful and always available if we needed any help. Would definitely go back there

IndiaWe wished the weather wasn't so windy (above 30) during our stay, but apparently, that's often the case. Water was freezing (end of May 2023). It would've been better if we could control the thermostat. Note: Bathrooms don't have locks, and one attached to the bedoom doesn't even have a door. P.S. It's a 15 minute walk from the bus stop (Yardhurst Gardens) to the apartment if you using public transport. And a 26 minute walk from apartment to the bus stop (Summerfield Road). It's a beautiful walk though :) Same holds true for supermarkets, but deliveroo works.
Lovely location. Beautiful view from the apartment; you can keep staring at it for days. You can even view the windmills and a complete view of Kingsgate Bay. 1 minute away, right across the road. And a well-equipped kitchen!
