Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomHaving a separate bedroom, bathroom and toilet didn't really work for me even though the bath and bathroom were a cut above the norm. For the cooked breakfast, it would have better to have more than one item. A large bowl of scrambled eggs or in my case a whole plate of tomatoes is too much. I know it needed to be vegetarian but maybe poached egg, tomato, a hash brown and possibly a veggie sausage would have been much better.
Full of old world elegant, a room with a view. The bed linen was a step above what is usually provided as were the wide selection of toiletries. Fresh orange juice and good quality yogurt were a lovely way to start a breakfast while admiring the view from my room. The owners were informative before my arrival trying to check my trip went well and were prepared to change things when I wasn't keen on scrambled eggs.

GermanyThe shower could have been a little bigger. You have to climb through the window to get on the small balcony. Lamp in bedroom is hanging low when you are taller than 1,85 m. The towel did not realy pick up the water but was very soft. The bathroomfloor gets slippery when wet.
The room is just as it is shown on the picture. Very good service. Nice experience.

United KingdomNothing really. The WC and bathroom were separate to the room we had but they were for our use only and we knew that anyway.
We had an excellent vegetarian breakfast , plenty of it and the owner really made an effort to make it look attractive. The house has great views out of the front as it's on a hill looking over the town. Lovely place to stay!

United KingdomIt would have been outstanding if it was en-suite but Edwardians had a different way of looking at hygiene. I was ok with using the toilet across the landing and separate bathroom.
the host Madeleine was very friendly and helpful with any local information I needed. The room was very clean and beautifully presented with exquisite personal touches. Breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
The whole place was brilliant. The room was spotless. We was served a vegetarian breakfast. This consisted of toast scrambled eggs yogurt honey two glasses of non alchaholic proseco and two glasses of orange juice. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room with fresh milk stored in a mini fridge. You had great views over Hastings from the room. Our room number 1 had its own bathroom. This consisted of a roll top bath and separate shower. Hostess was brilliant. She text us before arrival and told us of all the places to visit including short cuts. Would definitely stay here again . And would recommend anybody to book up and stay here.

United KingdomThe room and private bathroom were both beautifully done, with fantastic views, and the house is in a great spot. In the evening, I was really happy with the warm light from the bedside lights (unusual to see these types of bulbs) and the bed was extremely comfortable! It was a peaceful property, everything was clean and the atmosphere in general was very comfortable. The breakfast was also delicious. Madeleine was helpful, taking the time to explain guest rates on the phone before I arrived and recommending local places to eat.

United KingdomOnly one place close to get food. If you don't want a wood fired pizza (which was delicious) it's quite a trek into the old town as the Edwardian villa is high up on a hill.
The breakfast was fantastic. Beautiful presentation. The room is simply gorgeous. The bathroom is outstanding. All toiletries are provided, as well as tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The complimentary bathrobes are a nice touch.
