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 only (small) downsides were (1) we couldn't get WIFI in our room - however, we were aware this might be a problem HOWEVER, it didn't spoil our stay! (2) Our room had a stand alone bath, which was magnificent - although there was a shower attachment, it was difficult to shower without spreading water everywhere! Loved the bath though!
The Hotel is a real find. It's full of character and charm. The rooms (we had 4 booked in total for a family break) all had different features and cute names. My wife and I stayed in "Crumpet" while the remaining 3 rooms were called "Whoopie", "Muffin" and "Roly Poly". The staff were outstanding, hence the service was excellent. The location was perfect for our break, in the heart of Rye. The breakfast, included in the room rates, was quite exceptional. Whilst all the menu choices were awesome, I thoroughly recommend the 'Breakfast Plate". Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomNo complaints.
We had a lovely choice of breakfast, more interesting than standard English breakfast, served with fresh juice/smoothies. The coffee shop had a delightful choice of freshly made cakes. Service was given with pleasure on every interaction. We stayed in the attic... Whoopie room, this had excellent views over the roof tops. Would definitely go back if visiting Rye.

United KingdomHonestly not much but if I had to pick something the bathroom was small but it had everything we needed and really wasn’t an issue at all!
It was nicely decorated and a lovely old building! The location was perfect right in the middle of town with easy access to so many things to do and see. Everyone working there was amazing and friendly. The breakfast was so good too! The best pancakes I have ever had!

United KingdomOur only point of feedback was that the mattress was a bit too firm for us, so not as comfy as we would have liked, but this didn't dampen our stay at all - a topper would fix this quite easily!
We had the most lovely stay - the staff we're so wonderful and accommodating (and everyone was so welcoming of our dog!). The included breakfast/brunch was incredible value and really adds to the experience - the food was amazing (you could tell how popular the cafe is with locals and tourists). The room was nice and spacious overall and kept very clean throughout our stay. Bathroom/shower was decent (though pressure of the shower could have been a bit better). Location was also excellent (in the most picturesque street of the town) and there are lots of great, pubs, stores and restaurants within easy walking distance around you, as well as short driving distance to beaches at Camber and attractions around Hastings. We managed to secure parking quite easily on the street outside for a few of the evenings / days when timing wasn't restricted which was helpful. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend if you're planning a trip to the area!

Lovely location and fantastic staff at the Whitehouse and the breakfast was exceptional! The rooms were beautifully designed and there was ample supplies of tea, coffee and water in the room. Lovely Rituals amenities.

United KingdomThe room was great but it did need a bit of dusting in the radiators and the fan in the bathroom. Very creaky floors from room above on second night , but it is an old building. Whilst at the accommodation I read that they allowed dogs to stay….,that’s a no for me!
It was a great location and a fabulous building. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

United KingdomThere wasn't much to not like. However, people with any mobility problems should consider avoiding rooms at the top of the building as the stairs from the first floor up can be a little difficult to climb. This should not put people off though as staff are always more than willing to help carry luggage to and from room for you. Also, car parking can be a challenge. We parked in the station car park which was a short up hill walk to the High Street. This was reasonably priced. There are other car parks within walking distance of the Whitehouse.
The Whitehouse Rye is in an excellent location in the centre of Rye and within walking distance of most eateries and sites. The breakfasts were the most interesting and tasty we have had anywhere else in the UK and very similar to the meals we have enjoyed in Australia. Our room at the top of the building was large, comfortable and well appointed. However, if you are a shower lover, this room only had a roll topped bath with and hand shower attachment. Other rooms had showers. The staff were exceptional friendly, helpful and welcoming.
