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 KingdomEverything was fantastic! I love this hotel for the amazing comfort and friendly hospitality. I am looking forward to coming back for the third time in December. Look no further for a warm welcome , a great location near the sea and comfy beds, with a great shower! I love the added touches of free sweet treats and fizzy drinks.

Beautifully kept hotel: clean well stocked and decorated. Staff were lovely - personal and very friendly. Although I didn’t need the sea on this occasion it was extremely near. Thoroughly great experience.

United KingdomNo breakfast available in hotel and recommended cafe Metro in the corner was closed for refurbishment (I think that was the reason). My room was facing the street which was a bit noisy though didn’t stop me sleeping well.
Lovely decor. Comfortable bed. Small room but no lack of facilities and well planned out to make use of space. Good lighting. Very clean. Little fridge. Great communication from owners. Close proximity to bus stops.

We’ve been before so we know the location. They don’t do breakfast anymore which is a shame because it was second to none and a chance to interact with Steve and Paul. A very minor quibble on the whole.

United KingdomThere really wasn’t any negatives for us.
This was our first visit to Brighton & we were delighted to see our hotel as we approached it, I must say it looked the best on the street from the outside & inside didn’t disappoint us either! We arrived early by train & this wasn’t a problem at all, we were met by Peter & Steve & who checked us in, gave us lots of information about where to eat, drink., sightseeing tips etc which was very helpful. Even though we were early our room was ready, we were on the top floor, sea view & it was a beautiful room!! Very spacious with everything you could need, spotless & we really couldn’t have asked for anything more. Without a doubt we would definitely stay here again & highly recommend Red Brighton Blue!!

United KingdomThe room itself is a little small but we expected that. Also incredibly warm but that’s not the room’s fault - they supplied a fan to help cool us down. No option for breakfast but there are plenty of local cafes around so again, not an issue for us.
Greeted by a incredibly friendly co-owner upon entry. Was given lovely guidance on the best local places in Brighton, as well as his personal favourites. Locations is fantastic - short walk to the city Centre and the lanes, the waterfront is 30 seconds away and everything you would need for a city stay is right there. Very clean, very well kept and a very, very lovely city mini-hotel.

BelgiumOne of the best hotel I have ever been. Steve's and Peter were wonderful, super clean, very quiet. First time since many years that I'm able to sleep throughout the night without being awaken by noisy neighbors. Very nice neighborhood close to the beach and lots of restaurants and pubs.
