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 KingdomGreat position for the event that I was attending on Margate beach (The Mall Beach Races). Having parking for the van was important for me and they have several spaces at the hotel and also on the street outside it that are available. A good 'old fashioned' guest house with very friendly and accommodating owners. Thank you.

United KingdomWas nothing not to like!
The hosts Colin & Tracey were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble for them. Westbrook Guest House is in the perfect location for either a nice relaxing stroll along Westgate Beach or literally a 15 minute walk into the bustling seaside town of Margate with it's amusements,, quirky pubs and plenty of good places to eat! The Shell Grotto in Margate is definitely worth a visit. Fish & chips at Petes fish bar was the best! The actual room was spotless, (No.10) with an ensuite bathroom, everything provided, was literally home from home, couldn't have asked for more. We opted for breakfast which is an additional cost, but really good value for money and was lovely. Also, free parking which is an added bonus for a property so close to the seafront (literally a 2 min walk !) Couldn't of asked for a better place to stay! Thank you Colin & Tracey!

Westbrook Lodge has many qualities. First, it is ideally located - a short walk East along the beach takes you to Margate and its many activities & nightlife; a short walk West along the beach takes you to charming Westgate; yet the guest house is in a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood. Spotless clean, well-equipped and looked after, it offers spacious comfortable rooms, and there is a possibility to have a homemade breakfast for a very reasonable price. But the best thing about Westbrook Lodge is its hosts - welcoming and attentive, Tracy & Colin provided fantastic recommendations and lovely chats. They go above and beyond for their guests, truly care, and take pride in their business. I had the cosiest of stays - thank you Tracy & Colin!
