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...).

Location was great and good walks into Broadstairs. Nice and quiet, staff friendly and helpful. Recommend as quieter than Broadstairs or Margate but lovely walks to both. We definitely enjoyed our stay

United KingdomOur bathroom was next to an extractor fan and noise was very loud all the time. Internal corridors walls and doors needs a good clean and paint as it looks tirred and uncared for. Hotel/restaurant very busy, so main facilities were durty, bar staff was not very attentive, outside tables and inside spaces were durty as well as the toilets. Food was okay. Staff serving breakfast was very chatty amongst themselves/not attentive to clients. My coffe was left waiting on the counter and had to ask for it. Not great value for money.
Great Location, confortable beds. Nice tea options in the room. Breakfast was good.

United KingdomThe bath room was clean but a little outdated, wooden panel and sink taps were rusty and peeling but it was clean and useable. The breakfast wasn't a full buffet. You order a hot meal per person but fruit, bread and cereal was unlimited. Tricky when you have fuss kids that want bits and pieces like potato hash brown and x1 sausage - and no way of ordering it.
Room was spacious for a family and well equipped with Dyson fan, coffee machine, great selection of teas. It was easy to park and right next to the beach which was fantastic. Beautiful views and breakfast was lovely.

United KingdomCould have done with firmer mattresses! Why do all hotels have super soft mattresses! They are a pain to sleep on especially for people of the larger/ heavy size, it just causes back pain the next morning which isn't fun especially if you have to drive home for 2+ hours.
The hotel was located opposite Botany Bay beach. The restaurant was great, food and service was also fantastic. We also had breakfast included with our stay and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, was basically expecting pre cooked buffet quality food but it tasted freshly made. Overall great experience.

United KingdomIts expensive for what it is. No fridges in the rooms, (I guess they want you to use their bar) In 2 different rooms we stayed in both aircon machines were broken There isn't much around there in terms of shops for food, drinks etc We were facing the road and a really nosey lady lives opposite who didn't stop looking in the rooms (I think she was drinking sherry out the bottle ; )
Location is amazing and you can park in their car park which is just a short walk to the beach. The Breakfast (if booked through the room) is good enough although we were not sure on the second day and had to pay £15 each which it certainly wasn't worth that. Staff were friendly, Niice pub with terrace They have Nespresso machines in the rooms which is a nice touch Make sure to check out Kebbells in Broadstairs (amazing seafood restaurant)

United KingdomFor dinner we were seated in the bar area as we had our dog but no one informed us that we had to order at the bar so we sat waiting for about 15 minutes wondering why we were being ignored - went up to one of the servers and he took our order but once food came no one came to check if our meals okay or cleared our plates away. Maybe they were busy.
Breakfast lovely. Staff very welcoming, especially reception. Room nice - bathroom quite small. A bit noisy in the early evening think I was above the kitchen.

United KingdomAlthough we were generally happy with our rooms, the mattress had developed a small ridge along the middle making it a little uncomfortable.
The location was ideal. We were also impressed with the staff, they were very polite and attentive, especially when it was at its busiest as obviously there were longer waits for food service but the staff were excellent in reassuring the customer that food was on its way and offered us more drinks. The food was great. Cleanliness was good. Overall the stay was very pleasant.

United KingdomThe pigeons were going in-between the wooden part of the structure,they were a nuisance continuously making noise and flying to and from the wood by our balcony, this stopped us from using the terrace as much as we would of liked. This would be amazing if this was fixed and the only thing we didn't like about the hotel, we will be back:),thank you.
We loved the decor and ambience of the hotel,staff were really friendly and helpful. We loved the views from the hotel and the local walks.

United KingdomWe were unable to pull up the blinds to let light in as the window looked out onto a staff area with staff waking back and forth regularly. We also couldn't open a window to let fresh air in as the staff smoking area was right near the window too!
Very clean. Breakfast menu was extensive which is good. We were able to park easily and leave the car even after check-out.
