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.).

South AfricaNot a complaint but a suggestion. At the breakfast buffet, replace the ridiculous little plastic sauce sachets with glass bottles to provide an upmarket, smart, plastic-fee range of condiments.
Excellent boutique hotel. Staff exceptionally attentive and professional. Room was clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast buffet. Well located for Brighton town centre, beach and promenade.

A very lovely welcome on arrival from Danielle at the Sea Spray, this little gem well located in Kemp Town, within walking distance to the town centre and lanes. Nice and stylish reception areas. Very clean, bright and airy room - we were lucky to be upgraded to the Inspirational Suite with a great view of the pier. The bed was very comfy and we had a great nights sleep. We love Brighton but have been very letdown over the year’s with grotty air BnB’s or overpriced hotel rooms. At last we have found a reasonably priced, decent place to stay and we are looking forward to returning next time we are in town.

United KingdomThis is nothing that the Hotel can deal with, but the cost of the parking is high. The hotel provide a 24 hour parking permit at a cost which is fine if you are parking for the whole day but if you are travelling around then this can become very expensive.
The room was comfortable,, spotlessly clean and had a fridge (unexpected). The breakfast was well cooked and plentiful. The situation was exactly where I wanted to be. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

GermanyWe booked a room last minute due to a problem we had in another location, and this hotel was what we needed - and much more. Starting from the kindness and hospitality of the staff, who took great care of us - provided us with water, an adaptor, a map of the city and many useful tips and recommendations - to the cleanliness of the room tidied daily for us, to not forget the beautiful view of the sea and pier every day going out. Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious - not huge in selection but the quality of it was just top notch. To not mention the cute surprise during the weekends that we very much appreciated. We cannot recommend the Sea Spray enough, and we are very thankful to have spent our Brighton time here - it will stay in our hearts forever.

United KingdomThere are a few minor things that could do with being sorted, like the toilet roll holder spinning around meaning the toilet roll falls off, similar with a towel rail. Just a little maintenance is required.
The staff were accomodating to our requests, they were friendly on our arrival and gave us all information we needed. We loved the accomodation and it was exactly what we wanted for our short stay.

United KingdomWe have stayed at Sea Spray several times because we enjoyed the hotel. But this time we were put at the very top of the building meaning we had to climb endless flights of stairs while carrying our cases. We are both pensioners with the usual problems associated with age so getting to and from our room was a lesson we have learned for next time.
