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 KingdomWe had a fantastic two-night stay at the Seafront BnB in Botany. The host was warm and great company, making the visit feel truly personal. The house is beautifully styled, with a lovely garden and just a short walk to the beach. Super comfy, great vibes, and really good value. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomNothing, it was utterly perfect.
We liked absolutely everything. I can't fault this stay at all. My my mother in law came to watch Scooter at Dreamland together. Barry, the host, was an absolute delight from start to finish. And after a 7 hour journey he offered us a glass of wine immediately. Sat us in the beautiful garden. Showed us around this stunning home. And even suggested places we could go and eat and things to do and see while we were here. The upstairs living room has the most stunning views over the sea, and you can see for miles. Barry was so welcoming and shared stories and chatted with us, making us feel right at home. The beach is just a few minutes' walk, and it's beautiful. There is a wildlife walk just in front of the property, too. The main margate town is a 10 minute or so drive/taxi ride. There is a lovely restaurant pub with a very interesting history a few minutes walk away. The food was absolutely delightful and the staff were very pleasant. The extras Barry put into the room were wonderful, the bunch of grapes, the hot chocolate, teas, and coffee. The caramel biscuits and bottles of water. Both sparkling and still. And wow, the breckfast in the morning was a wonderful spread of freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly prepared fruits, yoghurt, home made compote, freshly Bakes pastries and if you want any eggs Barry will cook these fresh for you too. There are cereals and other lovely breckfast options. We will 100% be coming back. It was an absolute pleasure to stay. It's enough out of the way to be peaceful but also close enough to everything you need. Thank you so much Barry. We will be back!

United KingdomBreakfast was decent, with a basic selection including eggs and bacon, toast, yoghurt, fruit, granola, and cornflakes. While it covered the essentials, it would have been nice to see a bit more variety - perhaps some cold meats, cheese, and fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, or peppers to cater to different preferences. A few more options would really elevate the experience.
I had a lovely stay at this seaside B&B. It’s excellently located just a short walk from the beach and the scenic coastal path - perfect for morning strolls or longer hikes. The property is conveniently situated between Margate and Broadstairs, making it easy to explore both towns. A charming local pub is just 0.5 km away and serves great food in a relaxed setting. The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful coastal getaway!
