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 KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like.
I was met by Michael and knew from the start that nothing was going to be too much trouble for him. Super helpful in every way - explaining about the room; bathroom etc. The room was spacious, quiet, with its own entrance from the street . I enjoyed the excellent coffee from the machine in the room.

AustraliaAbsolutely outstanding! Brilliant location in a nice street, and close to Brighton town centre. The bed was huge and super comfortable. The room was lovely, it has its own entrance at the front of the house, and it was stocked with lots of little creature comforts which we loved! Everything you could possibly want in a guest room. And Michael was just the nicest, most friendly, and most welcoming host we've ever met. I don't think I've ever given 10/10 on booking.com before, but you guys deserve it!

United KingdomI can’t fault it
Everything. The communication before hand was brilliant and the owners are really helpful. There for checking with parking permits made it really easy, Paul was very friendly and made us a pot of tea while we sorted the bags. The room is a really nice size and the bed was comfortable, little touches like the chocolates, various phone chargers in the room, the books and the coffee machine really make it feel like a home from home. Having our own access to the room/house was ideal. Michael met us at check out and was also very friendly and was able to tell us about some lovely place to have breakfast/brunch, also offered to look after our bags until later if we needed him to.

I had a brilliant weekend at Stay@27. Michael and Paul are amazing hosts and I really enjoyed meeting them. They made me tea on arrival and helped me with the parking permits for my car which I parked immediately outside the guesthouse. The bedroom and facilities exceeded my expectations. The location is fantastic - close to bars and shops and the beach whilst being very quiet. I plan to return later in the year to this gem of a place! Thank you Michael & Paul for being so hospitable!

United KingdomNothing all excellent.
What an absolute gem of a find this was. If you are ever in Brighton and need a room, please go to Michael and Paul's at Stay@27. Couple so friendly, such a wonderful warm welcome, couldn't do enough for us. The room, just brilliant - clean, large and lots of amenities, tea/coffee/fridge/hairdryer/iron/tv/wifi etc. with your own entrance door so if staying out late you don't distribute others. We have booked already for next year. Please do not hesitate to look/book this room if staying in Brighton, really easy access to town - no more than a 10 mins. Marie

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing bad to say!
it was an extremely comfortable property, lovely and warm, beautifully furnished, great location for the hospital, excellent facilities, brilliant value. …….but the best asset of all by far, were the truly wonderful hosts! Michael and Paul went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable through my stay. They even offered to walk with me to a restaurant or get a takeaway in for me, which I thankfully took them up on, as it was icy and cold - not a night I fancied going out :). They put a hot water bottle in my bed and Michael even offered to walk me to the hospital at 7am as it was still icy and dark. They really were something very, very special and it was obvious the passion they had for the business and were genuinely keen to please their guests, with the perfect balance of interest, care and professionalism.

United KingdomThis is the first time we stayed in Kemptown and it is a lovely area with lots of shops, eateries, pubs and just a short walk into the main centre and beachfront of Brighton. I stayed with my sister for Halloween and we were made to feel so welcome by Paul and Michael from the start. The large room had fresh flowers, fluffy bath robes, a fridge, smart TV, coffee machine, available bedside phone charges and the comfiest bed I have slept in for years! Best thing was that they had large bath towels - a rare find in some guest houses. The room and bathroom were so clean and we loved our own private entrance to our room from the outside. We bought a bottle of gin to bring back to our room and when we came back later in the day there was a plate of sliced lemons for us! So many little thoughtful touches. We had a great weekend and it was a pleasure staying with you both. We look forward to our next visit. Kerry & Debbie.

United KingdomNothing. In fact I wish I was staying longer.
I would challenge anyone to find a more homely, comfortable and friendly place to stay in Brighton. The room is large, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you should need while away from home. You also have your own entrance - useful as I got back late at night from a gig without disturbing anyone. The next time I'm staying in Brighton, I had better book ahead in plenty of time, because I would hate to have to stay anywhere else!

Canadaeverything was great, and if things are not to anyone's liking, I am sure the hosts would fix minor things immediately
the hosts were the absolute best! from making tea for me when I first arrived to going on the bus with me to make sure I got back to Brighton train station safely. Micheal and Paul helped with directions, grocery tips, restaurant tips and actually walked me to the citi bike system so I could rent a bike. they were kind, gracious and a hoot. the room was very big and comfortable. A fridge, coffee, tea, milk, chocolate and flowers was a great added touch. the room was quiet, as hosts respect your quiet time and sleep time. lights are kept on at night so you can safely climb the few stairs to the bathroom. they respond quickly to messages and requests and they laughed at all my jokes. thank you, thank you, thank you
