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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomBacon to be better quality.
Okay, quality of the bacon not good. The breakfast was overpriced at £20. Many people don’t want a fully cooked breakfast but still have to pay £20 which is too expensive.

United KingdomMinor disappointed on following; Hotel only has steps leading to entrance, no accessibility ramp. Room was not as I expected from the image of the executive room, (assumed there would be a sofa or breakfast table) carpet had a few burnt stains, rooms need minor maintenance update. No peephole, room had traditional key with no number on it, so remember your room number! Room Fridge, dressing gowns and slippers are upon request at reception. However staff can accommodate to add anything to their own hotel fridge. Unfortunately, out of stock on disposable slippers, therefore had to go into town to buy a pair. Finally for vegetarians very limited on breakfast, no veggie sausages! Very basic for breakfast. However, the dining staff made up for the comfortability and welcome.
Stayed at the Chatsworth Hotel in Eastbourne with elderly mother for a mini holiday. Booked this hotel due it’s stylish, classic décor and location. Standalone building with 4 floors. Beautiful traditional entrance and dining room, lounge and bar room with 1900 elevator lift with seating inside, such a beautiful feature. Booked an Executive King size bedroom Seaview on the 3rd floor and received the corner panoramic room 303. Bathroom was huge, the best I had ever seen! Room size was large and closet space available. Tea/coffee facilities (kettle and coffee machine) and water bottles provided. TV had all the popular apps so you can log in to watch. Plug points modern with also USB sockets. Free Wi-Fi, connection was super-fast. Worth the price due to the epic view directly to the sea and the Eastbourne Pier, however bit of a obstacle to go onto the balcony, you need additional step to get onto it, hand grippers on both sides of the door. The guest relations staff, night duty gentleman, dining staff to the Hotel Manager were wonderful and exceptional! Professional, friendly and genuinely kind staff. They surely go far and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay at the hotel. Certainly, London hotels could learn about pleasantries etiquette from Eastbourne! There was a gym in the hotel and beauty treatment facilities. Guest relations can book a local taxi upon your request. One min walk to all the restaurants from fish n chips to Asian food. Eastbourne Pier is a 2 minute walk and the other direction is the historical Wish Tower. Overall beautiful and lovely hotel and certainly would stay again due to the location is perfect!

United KingdomWelcoming and helpful staff. Excellent location on the Parade for our short stay. Spotless room. Only downside was the ‘dribble’ of water from the walk-in shower, which we assumed might have been a water pressure issue to our 4th floor accommodation. Otherwise a very enjoyable 2-night stay.
