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 KingdomNothing!
Everything was great! Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Every little detail had been thought of and provided for. Breakfast was delicious and there was so much to choose from, all freshly cooked and very good quality! The location is perfect for restaurants and shops. We used the on street parking permits (purchased in the hotel on arrival) and managed to park right outside the hotel for the duration of our stay. Thank you Richard and Simon for making our stay so enjoyable! We will definitely return here on our next trip to Brighton.

United KingdomNothing….everything was perfect.
Perfect location 2 mins from seafront and 5 mins from the start of the lanes. Parking permits (£10 per day) issued by the B&B meant we were able to park in the same street as the property. Breakfast choice was fantastic from a grilled English to lighter options if preferred. If visiting Brighton again we will definitely stay at Brightonwave…it’s a real gem!

United KingdomWe had a room on the top floor and the bathroom was very tiny, ok for a couple of nights but you would want to choose a bigger room if staying longer.
Very welcoming hosts, great breakfast choices and nice extras such as chocolates and large bottle of water in room. Great value and excellent location.

United KingdomI can not recommend Brightonwave highly enough. From booking this wonderful gem the communication was faultless. Richard and Simon are so welcoming and professional and nothing seems to be a bother. The rooms are a lovely size and come very well equipped. The location is very close to the pier and I will most definitely be back to stay here. Thank you both for a wonderful stay

United KingdomThe whirlpool bath was lovely. I did miss a stand up shower but I see that the basement / garden room head height doesn't permit this and I didn't mind overall in the end.
A really warm welcome, supremely comfortable and clean room and good breakfast. The location is perfect for exploring the lanes and the beachfront.

We loved everything about this place… nothing too much trouble for hosts and the room was gorgeous. Lovely and thoughtful added touches … a sweetie treat pot in room with tea and coffee….and a great choice for breakfast which was all beautifully freshly cooked . The location was ideal for sea, the Lanes, town centre , Pavilion , cinema , station a very do-able walk away and nice coffee shops nearby. A quiet street too. We couldn’t stay anywhere else on our next visit. Definitely a great find.

Wonderful B & B with wonderful hosts Richard & Simon who couldn't do enough for you. We stayed in the Garden Room, facilities were excellent, loved the room and jacuzzi bath. It's the little things that made all the different, fresh milk in the fridge, coffee machine, chocolates. Breakfast the two days we stayed was exceptional. This will be our go too place now when staying in Brighton and we can't wait for our next visit.
