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 KingdomIt was very noisy in the morning! Doors slamming shut. Also, no noise proofing through the walls. There was a family with a child in the room next door lot us and it was very loud.
I liked the pantry. The bed was very comfy. I liked the record player player. The bathroom was nice. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomAnother vegetarian option on the menu would have been good that said what we had was a wonderful cheese soufflé I’d highly recommend so this is a very minor nitpick.
You couldn’t get a better location in Margate for a hotel, when you walk in to reception it feels like you’re on the continent. From start to finish hotel staff were excellent, warm and friendly without being fussy. The room was beautiful, beach vibes and comfortable, there an effortless style, a real experience you don’t often find. There was a pantry with free snacks and pastries on the floor above which was a fun touch. We had a balcony overlooking the sea and it was a real joy to chill out there and enjoy the view and the beach life. The staff booked us a spot for sunset drinks on the roof bar which is well worth the visit for the epic view and delicious cocktails. We also ate at the hotel restaurant The Pearly Cow which has a balcony section if the weather is good. The food was very high quality and cooked to perfection, and the waiter was charming, down to earth and couldn’t help you enough. These guys really know what they’re doing. You get city service with small town charm here and as I said there’s a continental air. They’ve created a little world in this hotel and they seem to love what they do. I travel a fair bit and over the last few years, due to personal circumstances, we’ve had to holiday mostly in the UK and I have to say this is one of the best hotels I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. A real surprise and a total treat in an arty upcoming town. Don’t think, just book.

United KingdomFor the price, car parking should have been included and not charged for additionally. Although dog friendly, there was no provision for a dog owner to eat other than the seats near the door which is basically a lounge area.
Excellent accommodation. Lovely room. Pet friendly, great rooftop bar. Good location and sea views.

United KingdomWe stayed 1 night in large room with balcony and sea view followed by two nights in one of the Lookout Suites (there was a problem with water supply to the bathroom in the original room so we were rehoused). The original room was nice enough and only cold weather stopped us using the balcony; we did however feel that clothes storage was not great and was compounded by the design of the room not allowing for a suitcase to be anything other than a tripping hazard! The Lookout Suite seemed larger and airier, with a bit more storage and the window and the view from it was amazing; bit of a shame though - particularly bearing in mind no balcony - that there was only one chair by said window when there was space for two……..Both rooms were stylish and without wanting less style we can’t help but think that just a little more attention could have been paid to practicality…..
Friendly helpful staff, clean, good breakfast in lovely restaurant, stylish, beds large and comfortable, communal pantry and record players in rooms excellent touches, parking easy and secure, restaurant not cheap but to be fair the food was delicious and beautifully served and it did feel special. The sea and beach views from restaurant and sea view rooms are really superb and interesting.
