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.).

James the host showed us the flat which was spacious and spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed in the flat and really enjoyed our stay. The property is located in a short quiet road but in the centre of Eastbourne. The area is nice with lots of privately owned shops, cafe's and restaurants. James was very helpful in providing parking permits so that we could park outside. Overall an excellent trip to visit a sister, we can't wait to stay again !

United KingdomNot much!
Wonderful spacious well equipped flat and very approachable owner James. You'll have everything you need for your stay and if there's anything you want, just speak to James who lives upstairs. It's literally across the road from Eastbourne Station & high street, including the shopping centre with a Cineworld on the top floor. The shopping centre has an M&S food court and Sainsbury's adjacent to it as well as a large Tesco express. The beach is a 10 min walk away. Car parking is included. I didn't need to use my car for the whole stay as everything you need is easily within walking distance.

Extremely nice place to stay, spacious and light flat with a large bedroom, living room and kitchen. Well furnished and comfortable, with all the little things thought off (like milk in fridge as well as coffee,tea etc and all the cleaning products and washing machine tablets). Owners on site who were helpful without being in anyway intrusive. I'd study again and have already recommended to a friend!

United KingdomNothing!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. James, the host, was lovely - met us on arrival and again when we left, nothing was too much trouble. The flat has been decorated to a very high standard and everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It was also lovely and warm - a real treat in this cold weather! The location was perfect - "Little Chelsea" on the doorstop and a short walk to the main shopping centre. We noticed it is also a very short walk to the station, which would be a real bonus for anyone visiting by train. Despite all this being on the doorstep, it was a very quiet and peaceful road; parking was no problem. The pier / seafront was about 15 min walk away and we can highly recommend a walk along the promenade from the pier towards Beachy Head - just beautiful! All in all a very enjoyable stay, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were back in the area - thank you James :)

The property is spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated, close to shops, bars, restaurants, railway station etc. James is a lovely host. All in all we could not have found anywhere nicer to stay!!

AustraliaThere was really nothing not to like. Our host graciously took on board our suggestion that providing the flat with a full-length dressing mirror and a clothes airer for laundry would make it absolutely ideal.
Checked out early from a nearby 'deluxe apartment' that was more akin to a shoebox in size to be warmly welcomed by James to his garden flat - a genuine home away from home. Spacious, clean, warm, quiet, and well equipped: it provided just about everything we needed in genuinely self-contained accommodation. The two-minute walk to Eastbourne rail station was a further plus for us.

United KingdomThat we couldn’t stay longer.
Everything! and I literally mean everything! The home was very modern, cosy and definitely a home from home. The pictures on the website are lovely but when you see the property it is like walking into a dream home. The hosts were beyond reproach, nothing was too much trouble for them and willing to go above and beyond to make my better half and myself feel comfortable and happy. One of many examples of going above and beyond would be; when we arrived he gave us a guided tour and left some sweets in a bowl for us (which were eaten on the first night) and a little Christmas tree for us to enjoy. Nights in this place brought to mind the movies you get on the TV around Christmas. The warmth and family sitting around an open fire while enjoying each other’s company. Being situated a stones throw away from the town, I barely had to use the car which made me compelled to walk and explore everywhere. We were fortunate to be there during the Christmas street fair. Which was a treat in itself. Thank you for everything! We will definitely be coming back at some point. Whenever we think Eastbourne. We we’d automatically think this place.

United KingdomWe had the pleasure of renting James' wonderful garden flat in Eastbourne, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 2-minute walk from Eastbourne Station and surrounded by restaurants and shops. It was a 10-15 minute stroll to the pier and the beautiful coast! The flat itself is both spacious and cozy, making it a perfect retreat. The large and modern bedroom, living room, kitchen, and garden provided ample space to relax and enjoy our stay. One of our favorite features was the fireplace, which added a warm and inviting touch to the space. James was a fantastic host. He was welcoming and understanding, accommodating our check-in and check-out times to make our stay as comfortable as possible. His hospitality and the quality of the flat made our time in Eastbourne truly enjoyable. We both highly recommend James' garden flat for a memorable stay in this charming seaside town!
