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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomLack of Wifi in bedrooms was annoying. Bathroom in room 10 was awkward & in dire need of.modernisation. The lift was antiquated & tiny - but at least it worked. Bit of a quirky hotel all round!
Breakfast very acceptable, good range of foods, staff helpful nice airy room with sea view

United Kingdomwe went to the Regency Restaurant one evening after hearing how good it was supposed to be, how wrong were we, it was an expensive terrible experience never to be repeated.
This was our 3rd time at this Hotel & in the same room, we love the view & the large windows. Will definitely be returning sometime.

United KingdomIt was perfect for our purposes, a place to sleep not a place to stay. The only issue was the outdated decor but it looks like the rooms are in the process of being updated
The location is amazing, just off the seafront. We stayed after completing the London to Brighton Bikeride, the staff were really great at helping us store our bikes securely and checking us in quickly. The decor in our room was a little dated and had seen better days, but the laundry was new and spotless. Our rate included breakfast, which was a buffet of cereal, yogurt, toast, and English breakfast items.

United KingdomRooms and bathrooms are a little tired. But on the whole, a great stay. Would be great to have an opening window in our room, and 100% needs ventilation in the bathroom.
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very, very good. Lovely clean towels every day, more than you get in some big chains nowadays. Beds are very comfortable The main lobby was modern and well kept, it would be nice if rooms had the same upgrade.

United KingdomStaff not very welcoming, seemed like they didn't want to be there. Have to give your key back to reception every time you leave otherwise they fine you £160 every time. Extremely unfair, this definitely needs to change. Key cards or spare keys should be given. One time we came back and there was no one on reception, had to wait 10 minutes for someone to arrive so we could get our key. No wifi in room. Bathroom door doesn't even close, let alone lock. Our double bed was 2 singles pushed together and was king size, yet the duvet was double size and way too small for the 2 of us. Rooms need modernising, decor is very old fashioned and worn. A lot of broken furniture, bedside tables and bathroom shelf both broken. Some lights didn't work. 2 plug sockets also broken. TV only switched on from the plug, also embedded text over screen which was impossible to get rid of, and only 7 or 8 channels. No mini fridge or safe. Headboard on wall where the double bed used to be, looks very odd, now the double is squashed against the wall so they could fit an extra single in there.
Great location, decent breakfast, room fairly clean.
