Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing. The entire experience was perfect.
The Red Brighton Blue is, without doubt, the most welcoming, beautifully appointed and simply delightful hotel I have had the pleasure to stay at, and I am fortunate enough to have been able to travel extensively. The attention to detail was second to none. The room and the entire house was spotless. Just as important, the owners, Steve and Peter, made us feel like guests rather than customers as they were so welcoming. We've already recommended Red Brighton Blue to our friends and family. We hope to stay at the Red Brighton Blue again soon!

United KingdomThe only slight negative was that we took the B&B option but it had not been clear to me that the breakfast would be via a voucher to use at local cafes rather than at the property. They were all good but had we known I wouldn't have taken the breakfast option.
The property was immaculate, all very high quality. And the owners were lovely and extremely helpful. We particularly liked the info they had put together for their guests.

North MacedoniaNothing that I can't think of.
First of all, the location is like 5 minutes walking distance from the Brighton Pier, very close to the sea and almost anything around you is on a walking distance. Then, it's a nice street where the hotel is based, a really nice clean and tidy house. Steve, the host was very nice and welcoming. For a solo traveler as myself the Deluxe single room is a perfect choice, not expensive and it has everything you need, including the nice sweet complementaries like cookies and caramel candies, a soft drink and water in the fridge. You get a coffee machine with capsules and a choice of instant coffee/tea, milk, etc... I'd definitely consider visiting again the next time I'm in Brighton.

Fabulous hotel which is spotlessly clean and decorated impeccably. It is the perfect mixture of period charm together with all the modern conveniences you could need. A variety of teas, coffee Nespresso machine, hot chocolate, biscuits and water are supplied and replenished daily. There is a large TV which includes Netflix, Alexa, good WiFi, a safe and small fridge. The beds and pillows are super comfy and the bathroom is very modern with a great shower. Steve gave us a very warm welcome and was very helpful. The hotel is ideally situated just up the street from the seafront and within a few minutes walk of restaurants and bars and about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the town centre. We would highly recommend Red Brighton Blue and would definitely stay again if visiting Brighton in the future. Thank you Steve and Peter, there is nothing you could improve on - absolutely perfect!
