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.).

The property was clean and well equipped with everything we could possibly need.

United Kingdomn/a - it was a great stay/room and no negative feedback
Often seaview rooms can be oversold when in fact you can only see the sights by craning around a corner, whereas this was a full uninterrupted view of the sea and waking up to the sound of the tide was lovely. Our room was on the top floor so although you could hear the people below with the windows open, it was not loud at all and there was no noise at all overnight. The room itself was much bigger than I expected with a very large bathroom and bath. Everything was spotlessly clean and the room came with all of the amenities you could need. I liked the lockbox check in so we could just let ourselves in when ready and there was a detailed information pack including contact numbers in the room should the need arise. In summary, lovely room, great location and will stay again. There was also a lovely private courtyard on the lower floor, brimming with beautiful plants and foliage.

We were in Room 8, overlooking the beach. The room was a good size, light and well furnished. The bathroom was large, clean and everything worked well. There was a lift from the ground floor (stairs too, if preferred!) The flowers at the rear of the building were beautiful and well tended. The whole building appeared to be well looked after. The staff we met were friendly and profession. If in the area, we would stay there again.

AustraliaParking. Couldn't park close, until after the evening crowds left. But later, was able to park overnight with no problems And while the balcony was great, there was a very large step to access it, & no hand holds. Going out was ok, coming back in not so easy.
Great location, right on the promenade. Loved the balcony, we were able to sit & have dinner overlooking the water. Bathroom was nice. Unit was exactly as described, very comfortable. Great security with locked gate & outer door.

United KingdomThe bed was a little bit too hard for me. But that is due to my back problem.
My husband and I stayed for our wedding anniversary. The room was lovely and clean. We were impressed with the room. The surroundings were very pretty and there were some nice restaurants to eat. We would definitely stay again

United KingdomThe bath was not available in our room as the mechanism was broken However on contacting the guest communication team the matter was addressed and we were moved to another room. This was flawless and to be commended in their reaction to our notifying them about the problem.
The comfort of our room. The decor too. The position of the room with a balcony and a brilliant sea view.

United KingdomAmazing stay at Beachcliffe. I highly recommend the sea view rooms, waking up to that view was worth every penny. I found that the pictures don’t do the rooms justice, they are much bigger and feel like they should be much more expensive than they are. The coffee machine was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.
