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 KingdomSimply,the only pain was I needed to press a shirt but there was only a table top ironing board and small shelf to possibly put it on with no easy socket. In the end I put it on the bed and used the bedside socket. Worked, but a fiddle.
Warm Welcome, easy acces by lift to the room. Clean corridors. Room was clean, tidy and everything was laid out for easy access, lots of towels. Shower had a good flow. Four pillows on the bed.

United KingdomThe only thing that stopped it being a full 10 out of 10 is that the hotel is a bit noisy. They are really good about making it clear that there may be noise, so I was prepared for people noise, but what I mean is that the hotel itself is a bit noisy (i.e. floors, doors etc.). This wouldn't stop me booking again though.
The hotel is in an ideal location, and is a very happy place, with friendly staff and fun decor. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable.

GermanySince the toilet doors in the rooms are only as thin as paper, a toilet on the floor would have been nice. In the cafe you even have to use the women's toilet. That's actually the only drawback. but an annoying one.
The view of the beach from our room (404) was priceless. But please don't rent out the room at a higher price! :)

United KingdomBreakfast was OK. It has recently gone up from £!0 to £12 and I think that is pushing it a bit. You get a choice of coffee, tea or juice and I think at that price it should be coffee/tea AND juice!
I have visited Legends countless times for drinks and entertainment, and love the seafront terrace and basement disco, but this was my first stay as I had lent my tiny flat up the road to relatives. It is Brighton's outstanding LGBT venue but on this occasion all I needed was a simple single room. This was a reasonable size, the shower room was tiny but everything worked and I would stay again if the circumstances were to arise. The room was reasonable value, but I have visited one or two of the larger, more expensive rooms at the front (mine was down the side but I could still see the sea) and during the week, at least, I think those are better value when you consider that two people will be sharing the price. But to be fair, you could say that about so many single rooms.

New ZealandRoom was so small- but worth it for the view. Worst part is the noise when it’s too hot to close the window. They give ear plugs which is cool, but still- super noisy til 3am and then traffic noise in the am.
I was in room 306, and the view was amazing. Incredible to wake up looking over the beach. Really comfy bed with four pillows which was so nice. Central location. Especially if you’re going to a show at Daltons- a 3 min walk.

United KingdomMy room was just above the bar where loud music was played until after 4am, however, there were disposable earplugs provided which helped immensely.
The hotel is in excellent location. You can step on the beach just after crossing the road. The single room was a good size, there was a kettle, a hairdryer, iron, ironing board and a fan. There was a nice selection of tea/coffee provided.
