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 family suite was absolutely perfect for us - super comfortable and brilliant for the kids to have their own separate space. We cycled to Whitstable and it was fabulous having secure bike storage on site. Breakfast was delicious and the location perfect.

United KingdomVery limited parking but the hotel has a number of parking bays a few hundred yards away which is where we had to park. Not a problem for us but it could be for others. Our room was a little on the small size but was spotlessly clean.
Wonderful position on the seafront. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. A good choice of hot and cold buffet breakfasts and we also enjoyed an excellent evening meal on our first night.

United KingdomThe balcony area definitely needs a good clean. There were spiderwebs everywhere and the table and chairs looked really old and definitely needed an upgrade. The only thing that was disappointing, as we paid extra for the balcony and sea view and wanted to relax there in the evening. It was noisy, due to our balcony being right above the bar/restaurant but it went quiet after the entertainment had stopped. Also on the booking it should be made clear that you can only park there from 1pm and have to leave by 1pm the next day. We got there quite early, so we were not aware of this. There is ample pay and parking in the town centre. So managed to park in a carpark for a couple of hours, before heading back to our hotel. But it would be good if we had some heads up of this information before arrival.
Location was excellent. They had parking available on site, which was a bonus but it was a little tight and very busy. If we hadn't of got there by 3pm, all the spots would of been taken. The room was very clean and so was the bathroom.Overall good sized rooms, with all facilities and a wonderful view of the beach from the balcony. Everything was within walking distance of Whitstable.So perfect hotel for a short stay and beautiful beach views and walks! Breakfast was good too and the restaurant was clean and tidy. Receptionist was friendly and helpful and even helped me upgrade my room to balcony beach view a couple of days before my arrival. I was very happy with that.

United KingdomRoom was a little small - bashed leg on bed a few times. Breakfast was a little disappointing but overall ok - however a more imaginative choice of bread would help - not just brown or white sliced!
Wonderful view - comfortable room - spotlessly clean, bright and airy.

United KingdomBooking arrangements! Booked two nights via Booking.com and one night via Expedia using Avios points. Wanted De lux room with walk-in shower and balcony with sea view. Had previously spoke with hotel to ensure that we could keep the same room for all three nights, albeit two bookings. Had problems with Booking.com, they mis-booked the room and I could not change it on-line, Booking.com only allow upgrades, not changes! I spent 43 minutes on the phone to Booking.com and got it changed. Third night 'bounced' out of room and transferred to family room at the back of the hotel, no sea view, no balcony, no walk-in shower, as far from reception as possible - Expedia had booked a room that did not exist, a 'standard' room with balcony! Apart from that, our stay was most enjoyable.
Staff incredibly helpful and very friendly. Breakfast limited to traditional English only, but good quality. Rooms a bit on the small size, nicely furnished, but very limited storage space and chronic lack of comfortable seating.

United KingdomNothing...though parking might be a problem as not enough spaces on site, but there is street parking nearby.
I have stayed there many, many times and will continue to do so. Very well located right by the sea front, not far from the town centre where there is lots to do and, absolutely delightful staff who always make one very welcome.

United KingdomHotel has a free car park, but this was full. There was overnight parking across the road so convenient but costly.
Balcony overlooking quay. Lovely room. Nice bathroom. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. View to sea is a bit industrial and there is public paid car parking all along front of hotel, but didn't detract from stay. Nice walks on one side of hotel. Walk to town and market on the other side.
