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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike as it suited my personal requirements.
I only used the room for washing and sleeping, so it suited my needs.

The room, although small was very well set out, bathroom was ideal and the shower cubical a good size. The location was good for local facilities and well positioned for the beach and centre of Brighton

United KingdomThere was only one problem after some heavy rain I could hear a constant dripping noise and I don’t know if there is a bit of blocked gutter causing this - sorry it seems very trivial but after about an hour and being a light sleeper it was a bit like water torture 😢
The bed was really comfy and the little bathroom perfect for what I needed

The location is great, just a short walk to city centre and 2 min walk to the beach. Staff were lovely on check in and accommodated me checking in 30 mins early. I felt safe as a solo traveller.

United KingdomThe parking situation isn’t great, but the knowledge of the staff getting you parked up was brilliant and so helpful. The pillows were a little hard (but that’s just a personal opinion). The seagulls in the morning were very loud. Nothing that can be done about them but maybe consider putting little packets of ear plugs in the rooms.
Beautifully done, quirky room. Good space. Perfectly kitted out: tea, coffee, (and most importantly) fruit/herbal tea, biscuits, bottled water, soap, shampoo, shower gel, hair dryer, iron and ironing board! Super close to the beach. Friendly staff. Hotel itself was quiet.

The chap who checked us in was really friendly + informative + sold us a parking permit (£15 for 24 hours which is way cheaper than any public parking in Brighton!) We had room 9 on the top floor which was worth the climb up the stairs as we had a sea view from the bay window! Room was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

IsraelThe floors were all wonky and it gave the feeling of vertigo There was some mold in the shower which could have been cleaned a bit better but on the whole it was very clean. The TV didn't work and we couldn't get Netflix or other things we tried to get.
The room was pleasant and comfortable. It didn't have air conditioning but a fan was provided as we were there on the hottest day of the year and this was sufficient.

United KingdomThis is half hotel, half Airbnb. For example, rooms are cleaned every day and there is plenty of tea supplied, but our experience was that it was almost impossible to find or contact the staff (we tried Booking.com messaging, WhatsApp, and the reception bell, all to no avail). The rooms on the top floor are stuffy in the summer (though a small fan is supplied) and the shower is tiny and has a weak supply of water, as other reviewers have mentioned. All these are features of old town houses, but may be uncomfortable for some.
Good location near beach and the central street of Kemptown, short walk to town centre. Easy check-in process, despite the lack of staff at reception. Some quirky design features set it apart to an extent.
