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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomAs mentioned above we found the bathroom a touch small. Otherwise everything was good.
Room was at the front of building providing good views over the sea. Table and seating under the window very good and unusual for this type of accommodation (somewhere else to sit rather than on the bed). Room clean, bed comfortable. Bathroom a touch small but probably the best design with the space available. Outside seating area on second floor at rear of building. Good breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff, we were made very welcome by Laura. Good location with pleasant walk into Southend but also close to bus stops if needed. A number of eating places within walking distance. Good base for exploring the area.

Breakfast was great, loved it. Lots to eat. Rooms easy to get to. Parking a bit tricky finding spot but always did. Host and hostess very friendly as most brits seem to be. Thanks for that. Wife loved the little treats (mints, biscuit, coffee and tea.

United KingdomFor me it would possibly be the personal touch, when leaving the property. As we were just left to leave the keys by the front door but not in a box or anything like that. Would have been nice to say goodbye to the owner of the guesthouse. But this is just my preference.
We had the Seaview room, this room was fabulous, as had great views over the Thames estuary, was spacious. We were provided with kettle, mints, biscuits, chocolate lollies in the room which was a lovely touch.

United KingdomUnfortunately we didn’t manage to get a parking spot that close, but we did know it’s it was 1st come 1st served. So that’s not a negative comment at all And maybe a little table or shelf under the mirror would be a good idea (we were in room 1), for somewhere to rest a make up bag.
Great location and very clean loved it Will definitely be back 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️

United KingdomAlthough the room was lovely and bright, there was two flight of stairs to climb. Not so good with bad knee. I was disappointed not to get the room booked - due to plumbing problem, which was unforeseen. But, we would stay at Pebbles again.
Lovely bright clean room. with a very comfortable bed. Double glazing very good. The room was nice although it wasn't what i had booked initially. But, owner was able to offer us an alternative.
