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...).

The little touches like milk in the fridge, Tea & coffee on the side and fruit in the bowl (had a banana and a coffee for breakfast in the morning) Lovely soft towels for our shower. Being able to pay for a parking permit and being able to park literally outside . Walk to the sea front was 5- 7 mins where the wedding we were going to was held.

United KingdomWe have made a couple of small suggestions to the owner just as a bit of feedback, these have been taken on board but no actual issues to report, happy with our stay.
Great location, short walk to the beach and pier. Lovely walk to Reculver along the coast. Last minute dog friendly booking, very comfortable accommodation in a lovely Georgian house. Great little kitchen with everything we needed, comfy beds, great communication from the owner.

United KingdomThe main bedroom window would not stay open, making sleeping difficult. While there is a fan, I personally did not like the noise. The sash windows are part of the period charm, but in hot weather, they are also a problem if you like fresh air. The lounge carpet needs attention, as does the condition of the shower.
Location superb We were visiting family so know the area well For holidays or businesses, the central location works well. Good space and decor throughout and well equipped kitchen.

A lovely apartment, nicely decorated, comfortably furnished and with good amenities. Short walk to the beach, with excellent ice-cream shop at end of road to the beach. Other shops, cafes etc withing easy reach. Plenty of parking very close - with the permit for a small extra fee.

United KingdomWe couldn't find anything wrong
Great location, just a short walk from the beach, many shops nearby (Aldi, Morrisons) pristine tidiness, stylish interior, well equipped kitchen, full of light sitting room with a cute loveseat in the bay window. Great shower, comfortable bed, snow white large towels. Swimming pool, gym opposite side of the road, eateries nearby. Fresh fruits, tea, coffee, Swiss roll at arrival, very kind gesture!

United KingdomAccess to the garden was blocked off during our stay, which was a little disappointing. It would have been great to have a notice somewhere about wifi access, to save us from crawling on the floor to find the password at the back of the router! I asked for three extra towels for use at the swimming pool, and had to pay £9 for these, which felt a little stingy when we had already paid hundreds of pounds to stay at the flat. There is no dining table, only a breakfast bar with space for two people, so I had to eat every meal standing up or sitting on the sofa. I would get rid of one of two of the huge armchairs, which would provide enough space for a small table. Would also have loved recycling facilities, and instructions for where to leave rubbish.
Lovely, spacious and very comfortable flat in a great location. Swimming pool and supermarkets across the road and a very short walk to the beach. Communication with Oliver was good before as well as during our stay. We were allowed to leave our suitcases at the flat for an extra couple of hours after check-out, which was much appreciated since we were travelling by train. We stayed during the coronation weekend, and the cake and bunting provided were lovely touches! My children are asking to go back, and I don't blame them!

United KingdomA little detail re cleanliness: the limescale wasn't fully removed from the kitchenware.
Very close to all places offering selection of food and traditional English breakfast. We liked the location and the comfortable indoor space of the apartment. All facilities within walking distance made our stay very relaxed. The independent character of local businesses make Herne Bay unique place on a map.
