Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Stayed here for an overnight stay. Manager and staff are so friendly and helpful! They work extremely hard to make everyone feel welcome! Will certainly stay here again!

We went here for drinks after a show on 11 November and were staying in a neighbouring hotel. The place looks like it is falling down - the ceiling is in a right state, sticky tables, seats seem to be the cheapest ones they could...find. The barman was downright rude, made it obvious they wanted to close and the drinks took forever to make. Told us they didn’t do cocktails. AVOID!!!More

We live in Folkestone and have liked this place since it opened. We've eaten here several times recently and it's still good - nice surroundings, good food and friendly staff. Great views and cocktails too!

I visited the cliffe for the first time with my work colleagues for our Xmas night out. We had meals from the Xmas menu. The meals are on the small side but very nice. I enjoyed a cocktail which was yummy 😋 (tiramusu). The ambience...was very nice and staff friendly,it was great being able to catch up and have a laugh. A clean lounge and I would definitely visit again. Feel it could be a bit cheaper though.More

We had a gorgeous prawn sandwich made with lovely fresh bread, with a huge portion of chips on the side. Lovely sunny room. Restful. This was our first visit, but won’t be our last.

Excellent lunchtime menu. The food was delicious! We ordered fish and chips, beef burger and a prawn cocktail sandwich. Each dish was cooked to perfection and the sandwich was lovely. The service was also excellent. We will definitely return!

We prefer to eat at lunchtime, rather than in the evening, and the Cliffe offers its Christmas meals at this time as too, which suits us well. That there were few other diners at the time was, frankly, their loss, because the service was exemplary,...as was the food itself. Four of us ate exceptionally well and enjoyed a bottle of New Zealand Sauvingon Blanc in perfect surroundings. Not to be missed.More

Had our works Christmas party here last night. We came here last year for 26 people and the food is just amazing, especially for the money- £35. Christmas decs, crackers and good DJ. The service was outstanding, the staff and manager made sure everything was...to our satisfaction and nothing was too much trouble. We had a really good dance afterwards! Thank you so much for yet another great Christmas party.More
