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 KingdomOn a fairly busy road which can be noisy at night if you have the window open. (Internal glazing is there to keep the noise out if you are ok with the window closed).
Friendly welcome, good sized room with plenty of storage. Looked like had been refurbished recently, good walk in shower. Breakfast plentiful, preorder cooked the night before. Cereals/toast/OJ available as well. Our room was at the back of the annex and had a secure garden for dogs to roam in which is great. Highly recommend for a stay. Because of the campsite at the rear of the property, Fridge/Freezer/microwave and washing up facilities are also available and useful.

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay – the room and bathroom were spotless, breakfast was delicious and the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. I injured myself on the first day and they supported me in such a caring way that we were able to continue our journey without any problems. We felt very well taken care of and can highly recommend this place!

United KingdomOccasional passing traffic outside but this had little impact on a restful stay.
The booking arrangements were very efficient, with a very warm welcome on arrival and good advice on the local area. The room was very comfortable and of a high standard with very good facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed, provided in an attractive room of character.

United KingdomOur room was on a busy road . Personally I found the bathroom was too dark with dark grey flooring and dark walls. It might help if the main light had a brighter bulb in it instead of an energy efficient bulb . The shower temperature was difficult to regulate.
Comfortable room, nicely decorated . Wasn’t expecting a garden building room but it was very nice . Good location for Rye and beaches .nice tea tray . Great breakfast and friendly hosts . The bathroom mirror did have its own light .Very good value for money .

United KingdomLeaving !
Easy parking and easy to find …. Fabulously clean , spacious and well equipped room. The bed and pillows were super comfy . Tea coffee and biscuits supplied. Tasteful decor. Spotlessly clean and hoovered carpets which my feet sank Into. A fan was in the huge wardrobe thank god as I cannot sleep without one on ! The room was just sumptuous is how I could explain it. There was even a garden with benched tables to eat in the evening or to enjoy a drink in the privacy it the rooms. The breakfast was plentiful and cooked exactly how I like it. Although I’m sure if I wanted it cooked another way it wouldn’t have been an issue. The owners were delightful and helpful and really friendly and had a good eye for detail with books on the shelves to read or have , as I witnessed today and even down to the retro radio playing softly on the wooden dresser without it intruding its sound on the customers having just woken up and wanting to leisurely have their breakfast. A very well oiled machine that is no doubt down the owners working exceptionally hard behind the scenes of this very cosy and homely B& B. Fabulous !
