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 Kingdomno-where to park briefly while I checked in and enquired if any parking spaces were left [they weren't]. My wife stayed with the car parked in resident parking space while I checked
vg welcoming and helpful staff; very nice room and good to have the sideways view of the beach and sea even though we weren't in a front sea facing room; well furnished/good state of decor. Proximity to the sea front and ability to use room until 11 meant we were able to enjoy a walk along by the sea before we left.

United KingdomReally disappointed that they had no veggie sausages for the veggie full English breakfast., was more a veggie half English breakfast. Also I arrived two hours earlier than the checking in time, I asked if the room was ready which it was and could I check in now and the gentleman behind reception said that I can have the room earlier for £30. I appreciate that a charge is normally applied if I’ve request an early check-in but normally if you arrive at a hotel earlier than check in time and the room is ready they allow you to have your room.

United KingdomPARKING ! Do not be misled. Even at an exorbitant £22 per day we arrived to find that the spaces were 'unsuitable' for our car. We have a mid range SUV (Not a Range Rover !!!). Apparently some of the spaces are are just about big enough for a Mini. We had to park on the Brighton Front. One space in a 1000 yard stretch. Then had to download the Brighton Parking App, Pay £23 a day for the two days. Took over 30 minutes to accomplish this as the App is usual rubbish. ROOM. Our room was small. As it was May and still cold at night we had no issue. If there in a hot summer the room would be unbearable. I would dispute the 3 star status. This review is written on our return having stayed at 6 hotels across Hampshire, Sussex, Kent & Surrey so not a 'random' one off opinion.
This hotel is perfectly adequate. Very clean, comfortable. For two days stay it has a good location on the front. Reasonable price - but you get what you pay for !

United KingdomThe corridors in particular were unbearably hot and the weather was in the 17/18 degrees bracket so not even summer weather but no air conditioning and overnight the room got very hot as well.
The staff were great and changed our room for us as my partner struggled with being on the top floor.

United KingdomThe breakfast was very basic - very limited options, but enough to tide you over if you’re looking for an easy fix I suppose. But the service was not organised at all - the staff themselves were all lovely and happy to accommodate, but if we needed anything we had to chase the staff down to ask them for it as there wasn’t really any sort of organised service. Also £25 a day for parking was very steep! Especially considering it was a car park out in the open and not secure in anyway. That was not worth the money unfortunately
Very close to the sea front which was lovely, walking distance to the pier. The room itself was spacious enough and clean, and the bed was comfortable. We were right on the top floor so the view of the sea was also amazing.

Dirty marks on the towels. Very thin walls as could hear person next door snoring & also could hear her phonecall very early in the morning! Got woken up by it.
Fantastic location, very close to the beach & lots of bars & restaurants & shopping! :)

United KingdomThe lift was a bit of an inconvenience, we’re a young couple so don’t mind the stairs, but if you’re reliant on a lift it would be a hindrance.
They managed to get us in quickly after a failed booking at another place - very much appreciated. The layout of the building and bar area was nice, breakfast was well organised and tasty. We thought it was good that the bar toilets could only be used by people staying at the hotel.
