Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomCould do with having a fridge in the rooms.
On entering the room, found that our bathroom light didn't work. However, reception went out of her way to find us another room...which was bigger! Hotel is right on the sea front so easy access to bognor attractions. Good value for money.

United KingdomThe room was very hot and we could not open the window. They need to tell you that the front door will be locked at 11pm. We managed to get the night porter to open it, but we were surprised to have to do this.
The decor was much better then expected from the pictures. Lovely sea view. Good shower, nice big towels.

United KingdomI reported that the bathroom light/extractor wouldn’t work if the light over the vanity unit was on. I did find that the floor was really creaky ( more a nuisance to adjoining rooms) and possibly holes in the boards under the carpet as it was quite uneven. Whilst I consider myself reasonably fit I do find steps and stairs difficult when I first get up in the morning. I therefore found stepping up and down to the bathroom a struggle and I would have felt more confident with a hand grip to help. However I do realise that the wall each side of the bathroom door was not a solid brick wall and therefore this might be difficult.
Location was fine as I was visiting family in the locality. I didn’t eat at the hotel. I was going to have an evening meal but there was no price on the menu at the door, and I was slightly put off as a number of items were only available if previously ordered. I assume this was catering for the people who were part of the coach party. Bar price for a glass of wine was excellent at £6 for 250mls, and the Merlot was good. Staff were friendly. On arrival I was surprised to be asked if I’d like help with my luggage. The lady hoovering the corridor was especially pleasant. Parking was easy. Ground floor toilets were very clean. The TV remote was easy to use!

United KingdomI arrived the same time as a coach tour which is obviously what the hotel relies on. No problem there, just something to be aware of if you are looking for something smaller and more intimate.
Staff helpful and friendly. Location ideal. Breakfast good.

United KingdomThe room was very drafty / cold and the radiator did not give sufficient heat, so the second electric heater provided needed to stay on all night which is not ideal. The bed could have had an extra thick blanket on too.
The staff were very accommodating the service was great also the breakfast was nice. The room was clean with the basics provided.

United KingdomWe booked a superior room which in itself was charming. However, no toiletries were provided and the tv was very small. Unable to watch it from our bed! Chairs not very comfortable either. Breakfast poor. Plenty of it, but the cooked breakfast and porridge were tasteless and overcooked.

United Kingdomwe had a bedroom facing the rear of the building, it would have been nicer to have had one overlooking the sea, but the hotel was fully booked and it was only for one night.
The room was clean and tidy and comfortable, the breakfast was good and filling, and the staff were very helpful. we would have liked to stay longer ,but had to move on to our final destination , which was poor in comparison .
