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 KingdomIt was very hot weather when we stayed. There is a ceiling fan in the main room, but the lights had to be on to operate it (the separate pull cord was broken). Providing a fan would have been good... BUT we didn't ask for one, and I am truly nitpicking here. It's not the hosts' fault that we had a short heatwave.
Great location, and access was well described and explained before we arrived so no trouble once we were there. Clean, comfortable. Everything we needed was provided.

United KingdomOne thing to note: the bathroom is equipped with a macerator pump system, which is quite noisy. It's worth keeping in mind if someone might need to use the toilet during the night.
First of all, the host, Gareth, was brilliant – very friendly, helpful, and incredibly responsive to all our messages. The property is relative small, but every detail has been thoughtfully considered and well executed to ensure a comfortable stay. We had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend here, thank you Gareth, and are happy to recommend this place to others. That said, if you're not a beach-goer, the entire Margate and Ramsgate area may not be especially appealing for walkers or nature lovers - aside from the impressive White Cliffs of Dover - the surroundings can feel rather dull.

United KingdomNo complaints - although we knew it was a studio flat it did feel a bit claustrophobic but okay for a 3 night stay
Location was good as we needed to be near the local hospital as our stay was primarily to visit a very ill relative. Everything that was advertised was in the holiday let, so all good.

United KingdomIt was all good, well thought out. Would have liked a broom maybe, to sweep the floor-after one sandy dog!
Nice quiet area not far from beach. Friendly cafes nearby. Town walking distance. Owners of property friendly and helpful. Everything we needed was inside the studio. The ceiling fan was a godsend, as weather very warm. Dog friendly property too. The property felt secure for parking. We will happily return to this property.

United KingdomA slightly bigger fridge would have been useful, the capacity was very small. The bathroom used a macerator pump system which made noise whenever it was in use. Also the location of the studio flat in the house meant there was some noise from the rest of the house that came through the walls.
The flat was pretty well provisioned with efficient use of the space. It was good to have a folding table and chairs to sit at. It was quite close to the beach and in a nice area. The bed was comfortable. There was lots of information provided by the owners including a map with local attractions. The free WiFi was fast.
