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 KingdomFirst of all, to find the keybox was tricky as the host said that it was the middle one but there was 4 of key boxes. The host also said, orange striped key box but it was not there so we had to call the host to ask where it was as it was a bit confusing. Going to the apartment, taking the stairs was a bit creepy as there are no lights and is a bit dark. There was dust underneath the bed where we found Tampons as we stepped on it which was inconvenient. There was no air-con, it was really hot with 26 degrees so it was hard to sleep during the night time.
The location was good, and the apartment itself is good with the sofa bed in front of the TV. Overall value for money, we had a good time.

United KingdomAfter settling in from our first day out upon arrival. We started to see somethings that was disappointing about the property, No fridge / just a cooler… not even working properly … my fruit drinks and yogurt didn’t smell or taste great. Loud sounds coming from the cooler throughout the day that sound like some trying to get into the apartment. The hot water in the kitchen tap is not working The bathroom tap hot water is way too hot and the shower is lukewarm. You can not use the shower and bathroom tap at the same time … it stops the shower. The boiler started making loud noise, once i turned on the shower and bath tap on. It was a very scary noise. There is no washing machine to at least wash the items, that are given … like the 2 floor mats for the bathroom again. In all i had a great time in Brighton, I would recommend people to this apartment, hoping that the hot water and cooler situation was looked into and solved. it would have been even nicer to have met the owners of the apartment.
We loved the location, the set up and how simple apartment is. It was clean.

United KingdomThe TV was ok for freeview but it wasn't a smart TV. Hopefully it will be updated next time I'll stay in Brighton.
The privacy, space and the location of the property. The kitchen is modern, sofa is very comfortable and the bed too. All you need is outside the doorstep, Co-op, Morrison and Sainsburys. Plenty of restaurants around and loads of vegan choices which was perfect for me as I'm a vegan for 5 years.

United KingdomThere was a small amount of dust on the surfaces and floor, implying that although it’s cleaned, perhaps it wasn’t cleaned that recently- I notice these things due to dust allergies. There was also an issue with the fridge, but the owner responded quickly and positively when we reported it.
Fantastic location, right in the centre of Kemptown. Despite this, we really didn’t hear any seagulls! It’s a gorgeous little flat with some clever adjustments, turning a studio flat into something with a ‘separate’ bedroom instead. It’s cosy and well equipped, with everything you could need in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
