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.

Had dinner here and the food was spot on. The cheesey garlic bread was a highlight. We visited here regularly after an afternoon on the beach or a day out. Great service and friendly staff.

Room 8 is where I stayed,a comfy bed and good shower. Unfortunately, the room was very tired, and in need of redecoration as was the bathroom.It was also very noisy at night due to some extractor fans or kitchen equipment running in the nighttime. I...was unable to have the window open due to noise. The breakfast was an extra at £10.95, which, given the state of the room I feel, should have been included in the price .The room was £70.00 a bit too much considering the decorative appearance. I wouldn't stay there again as I feel it wasn't value for money. The final nail in the coffin for me was the barman telling anti semantic jokes from behind the barI found them on bad taste and, unprofessionally and totally uncalled for considering he had no idea of who was in the bar,their background or religion.More

Disappointed in our room. No window except for in the shower room. Must be the lumpiest mattress ever (room 10). Terrible flooring in the shower room and no mirror. View if the bins outside. Will not be stopping here again. No light on the stairs...on the way down to the bar from the room.More

Very helpful staff who allowed us to leave luggage before the check in time however the room was very dated. The carpet was very stained, large cracks in the walls and marked decor/walls, big cobwebs on the ceilings. The beds were very comfy though but...definitely in need of some updating/refreshing.More

We’ve been to Hunstanton many times and this is our first stay outside of the usual caravan stays. The Wash and Tope is in a fantastic location, without a doubt. Right by the beach, town, and usual amusements. It’s on a main road, but not...too busy at night, save for the usual (occasionally happy) passers by. Parking is free on road, but there’s a paid car park opposite. The pub appears to be heavily into efforts making money Friday to Sunday with their music acts in the summer months. Opening times seem to be ad hoc during the week. Pub garden is a car park with many tables and chairs and , again, aimed for the weekend music pull. Our room was ok. Sea view. En suite door didn’t shut properly which didn’t bother us but might bother some. Power sockets were tricky to locate behind furniture so maybe a rethink to to room layout would be useful. We didn’t eat here so cannot comment on that. The two female staff we dealt with were warm and friendly. Ladies loos in the pub 8/10! This place has such potential, but not yet realised….More

This is a dreadful place. If the surface isn’t stained, it’s sticky. The barman was utterly indifferent to the needs of his customers. A joust-about-passable pint of Landlord, though always with the standards of hygiene in mind… The menu was as plebeian as it was...unhygienic (simultaneously stained and sticky). My partner bore a genuinely startled expression when the menu she'd been looking at, seemed to have become welded to the table. Didn’t eat, chose to go elsewhere…More

Great place to go when the sun is out. The garden is a sun trap and you are shielded from that chilly coastal breeze. Food is good, beer is good and service is good. Definitely recommend!

The heavens opened (Sunny Hunny) and I was in close proximity to Wash and Tope. On entry I ordered a drink and found the menu was mainly pizza or hot dogs. I had a hotdog which was bland and served in a stale roll. The...rest of the plate. Was chips in a wire basket and a small pot of processed coleslaw. Ok it was cheap but it was awful. In contrast the guy serving was polite and attentive.More

I’ve just stayed here for 3 nights and can’t fault this place! The staff are lovely and accommodating, the breakfasts delicious ( can’t comment on meals, as we chose to go out, but they looked lovely!) and the room is clean and very comfortable -all...the things you would expect from a well-run, 3 star hotel. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone!More

Food remnants all over the floor, toilets disgusting, £8.70 for one pint of ale and a half cider, and ‘cornflakes’ in the bottom of the ale glass.

If I could give this a 0 star I would. Travelled here with my elderly father who is also a cancer patient, for 5 hours to visit his sick parents and we emailed twice in advance asking for early check in. Upon arrival the lady,...who I presume is the manager, said they hadn’t received an email, no apology and nothing to try and help get the room ready sooner. Just didn’t care. Quite frankly the three women behind the bar stared blankly at us as if it not their problem. The level of customer service was appalling. Bit of advice - I wouldn’t recommend going into hospitality if you don’t want to be customer facing or give two monkeys to help people. The room was basic. Not clean. Thick black cobwebs and a toilet seat that didn’t stay up. 5pm check in to clean and it is laughable because the rooms were far from clean. This place could have so much potential with the right staff and a refresh because the location is great. It’s just such a shame that the staff obviously don’t care.More
