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 KingdomIdea with gin carafe in the room is interesting but questionable in terms of execution… the carafe is not sealed, and judging by the amount of the liquid when we checked in, is not placed fresh for each guest? I’m concerned any guest can add anything into the bottle making it not safe for others to drink. Perhaps the bottle is emptied after each guest but in that case, amount that was waiting for us in the room was ridiculously tiny… which also defeats the purpose. Perhaps some sort of a sealed carafe would be best! And the price - very punchy, but SPA experience may be worth it!
SPA area is great - worth booking this hotel only because of the SPA wet area! Heated indoor pool, hydrothermal pool, two jacuzzis and sauna. Everything looked clean. Room was beautifully decorated, and despite being side sea view closer to the nightlife, was not noisy on the 4th floor even on a bank holiday. Sound isolation actually was pretty good! Comfortable bed. Nespresso machine in the room and fully stocked mini-bar. Perfect location!

United KingdomThe rooms are tiny for the cost - we knew at booking the rooms might be on the small size but it was so tiny for the amount payable per night. There could be better design/layout/storage solutions to maximise the tiny room space. Also we saw too much of the underbelly of the hotel, bags of laundry over where, open crew only rooms etc.
Great location, lovely interior and great spa facilities.

United KingdomRoom wasn't quiet as luxurious as pictures showed. Paid for one of the more expensive rooms as it was a birthday treat for partner - room felt cramped, door for bathroom when opened was touching the bed and the light switch was outside behind the door. Bathroom was very narrow and had 2 sinks so had to squeeze past to use toilet and nearly impossible for both of us to be in bathroom at same time. Sea view room but you could tell windows aren't regularly cleaned, bird poo on the windows (which I get as we're by the beach but didn't look new). Room air-conditioning was not working which made sleeping quite uncomfortable, paired with the nightlife noise of bass until 3am! Again, on beach front so noise was expected but kept us awake as the room was also very warm.
Lovely spa, felt very luxurious. Beds in rooms were very big and comfy! Birthday message plate on arrival which was a nice touch.

United KingdomThe staff were really unfriendly. I went up to the front desk to ask where to go for the spa and the man behind the desk (he had white hair and was wearing glasses) barely looked at me and said “downstairs” and as I was walking away I heard him and another woman (petite with dark brown hair) giggling, making me feel like an idiot. Maybe don’t laugh at your customers while they’re in the room.
Location was great, spa facilities also

United KingdomNever having been to Brighton before, access to the hotel when arriving by car was confusing to say the least. Not wanting to park on the double yellows out the front to transfer suitcases, I thought there would perhaps be a rear access , so drove further on and turned left and left again, phoned reception who advised it was okay to stop on the double yellows !! A couple of days after I was home I had two fines for driving in a bus lane ! I booked through Booking.com so didn't see the advice to park first ! Will come by train next time.
Fabulous room overlooking the sea with table and two chairs in the window allowing people/beach/sea watching in comfort .

United KingdomI completely disagree on NEGATIVE statement in general and to put it in the reception area as a welcoming remark saying “ You are dirty “ or something with a celebrity images on it or images of disproportionate messages I find it highly INAPPROPRIATE which I highly recommend to be removed and change to a theme of aromatherapy to match with your amazing facilities and give your reception area such welcoming scent of aromatherapy also with therapeutic calming music to infuse POSITIVE Energy .
Sauna, steam room, ambiance , hydrotherapy , Scandinavian bath like jacuzzi , huge resting area amazing soft pillows , multiple choices of entertainment . A wonderful stay and good value for money . Friendly staff.

United KingdomAs above. Everything else was great.
I liked the hotel especially the spa which was clean and well kept if a little on the small size. The only thing I found was that I couldn't get the heated towel rail and the radiator in my room to work but that may just have been me!

United KingdomIt was expensive. Common areas a little tired. Reception was not that of a £420 a night hotel. Underwhelming! The worst thing was the extra charge to use the facilities. This is totally unexceptable. Either hide the cost in the room cost or don’t charge it at all. Terrible management idea!!

Loved the spa areas, they were well maintained and a great addition to the stay. We actually got an upgraded room which was brilliant. The larger double is a lot better size than the small double. Staff were really polite and helpful.

United KingdomWhilst the location is wonderful being on the sea front & central and the views are great, it is also the only negative in that it is also extremely noisy late at night with party goers. The triple glazed windows do a good job to quiet it down.
Staff were friendly, rooms were great - comfortable beds, great selection in mini bar, robes & slippers & the complimentary gin in the room was a great touch! Spa was fantastic. Bar area was lovely.

United KingdomWe had a terrible sleep, hotel is an old building with very thin walls, so we heard people going into there rooms at 1am, heard people getting up and going to the toliet, heard people outside the hotel. We also didn't find the bed comfortable, mattress was lovely and super big, but pillows and duvets were duck feather, which isn't to our personal taste, as they made us very hot and very uncomfortable. Did not have restful sleep.
Staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and professionally. Spa was incredible and the facilities, room exceed our expectations.
