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 KingdomSome decor is tired, and the carpet in the halls needs a thorough clean, but you can’t really complain when you only pay £38 for a room.
Staff are all really friendly. Rooms are clean and good value for money. Hotel is right in the seafront and has its own parking.

United KingdomIt is a very old building and the doors on the room whilst closed and locked did not seem quite to fit in the frame. The floors in the room felt wonky and there was a lot of creaking when you walked about.
Location is fantastic, we had a sea view room which had great views of the pier and sea. Staff were all very polite and friendly. Parking was handy right behind the hotel (you just pay at reception). Food in the bar was good and the entertainment was an unexpected bonus!

United KingdomRoom in desperate need of a deep clean (240). The inside of the toilet is almost black. High up furnishings in the room are thick with dust. TV remote filthy. I was there 2 nights and kept finding hair (all kinds!) that wasnt my own. I'm local to the area - a care worker who lives in a HMO. Occasionally i book a local single room to cover my day off & catch up on sleep. The room served that purpose but I've stayed in others that were far better. Also, the curtains are too short for the window.
Bed was comfortable, wifi was very good, staff very friendly. Great seafront location. Overall very quiet especially considering it was bank Holiday monday.

United KingdomThat you had to pay £6 for parking… the description said that there was limited parking but it was only mentioned after we had left the car, for the afternoon, that the hotel had a charge for this facility
The position, good breakfast and entertainment… good price and rooms value for money

United KingdomI stayed in room 229 The heating didn’t work and also the shower was blocked but that’s a small fix it happens … I didn’t know at the time that the heater wasn’t working I tried the switch on the wall and went to sleep and through the night it was just so cold like ice, I got really cold through the night, I kept tossing and turning. I woke up around 7am my throat was hurting, and 48 hours after I left the hotel I ended up in hospital with a severe chest infection just on one side by the heart.. I did inform a member of staff that the room had made me really I’ll and I asked if it was possible to stay a few hours more to try rest because I had a 2 1/2 hour Drive home. I don’t think they believe me cause on checking out I heard them talking about it but anyway I bet they will now .. I asked if I could stay a little bit longer to try and recover, the hotel offered a late check out for 1pm with an additional charge of £25 on top to stay a couple of hours more.. At that point I was feeling really I’ll not good at all I ended up sleeping in my car outside the hotel just to try and get my bearings so I could drive home .. but I just couldn’t drive till later .. but all in all it’s a lovely hotel. A little old-fashioned but has a great location, with a little market and seafront but the room just made me really ill and now I have to take medication and antibiotics because I have a severe chest infection but only in one lung.
Has a great all you can eat breakfast for £10 and the location is perfect staff seem to be friendly .. location is right near the seafront which is great it also has a Little market clothes,bags and great street food only a 3min walk to the pier. I stayed just so I could see what Eastbourne was like. And it’s quite nice didn’t get to explore the whole thing like I wanted to because I got really sick ..

RussiaThe entire hotel interior, rooms, and corridors look a bit shabby; that's true. However, the place was clean, so it didn't bother me much. My window-opening mechanism was broken. There were no ropes to roll the frame up, so I just put a book in between to make a gap.
Perfect location, good value for the price per night, overall clean, comfy bed, good bathroom with additional hand-railers.

United Kingdomonly fault was the state of the windows. The wood frame was literally rotten and huge gap when window down and there was wet stain in bathroom ceiling and mould plus mobility scooter access was horrendous. Bell on the outside never worked so I had to ring reception everytime, one day 1 rang 6 times and eventually had to go along to main entrance up stairs and tell reception as they didn't know phone wasn't working it would be much better if 1 side of entrance was steps and the other wheelchair friendly ramp
