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.).

The view from the balcony, the lovely chatty and smiley staff, size of the room. They also will let you order food and eat in the dining room before 10pm and have a bar. Great location for getting to Brighton Centre without being in a loud area.

United KingdomThere is parking for about 4 cars on a first come first served basis. Parking in the area seems ample but is regularly exceptionally full.
The location on the front was excellent and there are many good bars and restaurants.. The hotel itself is comfortable and welcoming. We didn't have breakfast as we needed to leave early each morning. The staff were very polite.

United KingdomBed was a little bit hard and the paintwork is a bit tired here and there, but it's a big old property so upkeep must be challenging.
The location is fantastic, central for the town, shopping,The Lanes, The Pier, the railway to the marina, bars and restaurants. Wonderful sea views and a balcony. Lovely touches with hairbands and razors in the bathroom, bathrobe and slippers. The staff were great, so friendly and helpful, they couldn't have been any kinder.

United KingdomHotel needs a some tlc, as it feels a bit old, the pelmet of the curtains in my room was hanging off and prob needs a paint refresh - but these are just little things
Great location on beachfront with a 10-15 min walk to the shops & restaurants , staff were lovely and happy to recommend places to eat. I had a room with seaview and balcony which was great as the weather was good for most of my stay. The room was a good size with comfortable bed, dressing gown and slippers, tea & coffee provided, with nice en-suite bathroom.

United KingdomA little tired
Although the hotel is a little tired it’s in an excellent location with friendly & helpful staff and our room was very clean & comfortable. We stayed in room 401 which is on the fourth floor, accessed by a lift. It might not be something you are worried about but we loved the fact that you could open the windows for fresh air as we have stayed in hotels which are stifling and stuffy as the windows don’t open.

United KingdomOn our arrival one member of staff was unfriendly and grumpy. We were half an hour early and apologised. He said the rooms weren’t ready although the cleaners were clearly leaving as we got there. The property is a little dated.

United KingdomRoom needed some tlc, curtains were hanging off. View of the fire escape. Shower did not work sufficiently well to take an adequate shower. Water trickling out of it. Had I been staying any longer I would have asked to move although I understand the hotel was full so probably would not have been able Tom
It was clean, good location and on the sea front. Staff were exceptionally friendly.

United KingdomThe showers were a lot louder than I was anticipating and I was worried it would disturb the rooms nearby, but they were powerful and worked well! The hotel is 3* as it does look a little older/tired here and there but it was great for our stay.
The reception staff were lovely and really helpful. The hotel had a small lift which was great as we were on the 4th floor. Everything was tidy and neat, and the room had a great offering of tea/coffee/biscuits/sweets. The hotel is about a 15/20 min walk from the centre of Brighton but we were able to get Ubers easily when we needed.
