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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IrelandAdvertised as 4 star but in reality it's 3 star fare. Rooms are small but comfortable. Shower pressure was poor.
The location was excellent, only a short walk to Brighton Pier. The price was competitive in a town where rooms are at a premium. Hotel located in a quaint row of period buildings. Bathrooms recently renovated.

KenyaRoom booked was abit small. But thats not a big issue. It did the job for a one night stay
The location of the property is ideal. Its close to the beach and town centre and other amenities such as bars coffee shops and shops which saves alot of time. Helpful staff and they have an alternative cheaper parking option (parking permit holder @ fee) which helps as Brighton is generally expensive interms of parking

United KingdomPoorly designed bathroom meant using facilities was awkward. TV wouldn’t turn on/off effectively with remote so had to turn off at the wall. Light fittings situated directly over beds which made it easy to bump head on them when getting in and out of bed.

United KingdomI was broadly satisfied with all aspects of my stay, but while I wasn't after or expecting expansive lodgings, a little more room (in case the weather did turn) and an en-suite lavatory would have perfected the stay. The price was pretty much as expected for a roof over one's head on Pride weekend. I'd have preferred to pay less of course, but I can't begrudge charging what the market will bear and it was cheaper than any alternative available at the time of my booking.
When I booked my accommodation, I initially wondered how it could really qualify as a 4* B&B without ensuite bathroom. However, it turned out my expectations were surpassed by the reality. Although the room was small and lacked its own lavatory, it did have a shower, even if a toilet couldn't be fitted inside as well. It was of course just a place to sleep, change and breakfast while attending Brighton Pride. I did not plan on spending much time awake there and being there only for a weekend of generally good weather it didn't feel claustrophobic. It was very well located. The Pride Village Party was just round the corner of an evening and yet just far enough away that I didn't feel I was kept awake by the noise. The beach is also less than a 5 minute walk away. I did find myself rushing to get to the parade route, but that was just on account of being a bit slow out of bed! I particularly appreciated the breakfast. Cooked and continental options were available with flexibility on exactly what you ordered, along with plenty of spreads and a variety of teas. Staff were helpful, but bear in mind if you're going for Pride that although they sell Pride Village Party wristbands, it's cash payment only (apparently for logistical ease in delivering to organisers).

United KingdomThere was a temporary problem with the shower room (only hot water, no cold) but it was dealt with apologetically and a few appreciated concessions for the inconvenience. Already booked my next stay.
Perfectly located in the heart of Kemptown, seconds from the water as well as the cafes and nightlife. Rooms for all budgets, for when you’re feeling flush to when you’re travelling alone on a budget. Enjoyed one of the small, single rooms overlooking the green with a side view of the sea, as well as a more luxurious double for my last night. Bonus to have the bistro area which we used for breakfast, hosting friends for pre-dinner wine, plus a few hours working during the day (good wifi). Lucked out with parking right outside which was c£15 a day. 24 hour staffing most helpful and charming. Special thanks to our main man Oscar, suave owner Hervé, and the extended team for a great Pride break.

AustraliaI had a single room and it was quite small but well appointed. You may get noise from people in the street and park opposite in the weekend evening. Parking the car was a challenge. I'd advise not expecting easy parking nearby in busy seasons. I got a smoke type smell in the room but not sure of the cause as linen and curtains were quite fresh.
Good choices for breakfast and friendly staff. Great location for the main Brighton attractions of the pier and beach.
