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 KingdomNothing, though for some, as a personal preference, the mattresses are on the softer side.
We've stayed at a number of B&B's in Eastbourne and never been disappointed but Brid and Derek are the icing on the Eastbourne cake of B&B's. A friendly welcome and good knowledge of the local area, including restaurants, shops and buses, with a room that was bright and clean with a power shower, a good choice for breakfast including vegetarian and vegan, meant we left the accommodation with a smile on our faces. Highly Recommended.

United KingdomExcellent location, great hosts. Very good breakfast. We had the small rear view bedroom which was small as advertised but was more than adequate for a weekend break, everything was spotlessly clean and we would definitely stay again.

United KingdomRoom was on the small side for the price and shower wasn't as hot as we'd like it to be after a swim in the sea!
Brid & Derek were very welcoming and accommodating. Great breakfast! Very clean and nice style and homely. We took our bikes and were able to securely store them at the property. It's a great location for cycling and exploring Eastbourne, Hastings as well as Seven Sisters park.

We stayed at The New England for a three day break. We had looked at so many properties and then came across this absolute gem. With incredible ratings. We had the most lovely welcome on arrival and could not help noticing the warm welcome interior with lovely festive decorations. After arrival we were moved to a large family room with en suite. It was perfect and lovely and warm. Everything you needed was within, including a mini fridge with fresh milk, bottled water and a treat. The bedding was define and everywhere within the property was absolutely spotless. There is a stunning guest lounge with cosy sofas, which is a nice addition to sitting in your bedroom. There is a beautiful spacious dinning room at the front of the property which overlooks the seafront. Breakfast was superb and it is requested within your room that you complete a breakfast form for the following day. There was many choices and all served with perfection. China and cutlery is all top notch at The New England and Brid and Derek the owners are just so wonderful and friendly all the time. It is obvious that they have a true passion for their business and for their clientele as they have got it absolutely spot on. Parking is on side roads to the property, but we always found a spot. It is a short walk into main town. but they are other local shops on a nearby back road if needed. We had a truly wonderful time and cannot wait to go back again, Thankyou for making our weekend so special.

We booked the room quite late and there was only the small double available, so we were not expecting a large room, but it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. I have never stayed in such a clean hotel - even the grout between the white tiles in the bathroom was white. Chocolates on the pillows was a really nice touch as well. The choice for breakfast was amazing as well as the portion size. As we had to get up early to catch a train to Brighton to watch our son run the marathon, the landlady even cooked ours early for us. As hosts they go above and beyond what they need to do for their guests.

The owners are really helpful, nothing was too much trouble including catering for my daughters dairy intolerance. The location is excellent, very close to the beach and town but far enough away to be quiet at night. The breakfast was great and felt safe in these days of Covid as all items were on your table, but if you required anything more it wasn’t a problem. The rooms were exceptionally clean.

United KingdomOur stay was wonderful, with welcoming hosts, a gorgeous room and beautiful decor it was a truly pleasurable place to stay. The beds were extremely comfortable and our room and en suite were clean and bright. Bríd and Derek were so welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay special. From delicious breakfasts including my sons favourite pancakes to dinner recommendations and drinks at their bar afterwards. Bríd even bought my son a bag of sweets which he was over the moon about. It's not often you find a hotel that ticks every box but The New England truly does, plus its in a fabulous location. What really made our stay special was how much we felt at home and that was down to Bríd and Derek's incredible hospitality. Thank you for having us, we will 100% be coming to stay again.
