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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaThe room was really cluttered with heaps of nick nacks, 4 chairs, multiple tables. If there was less furniture it would be much more spacious. Not a deal breaker obviously, more feedback for the hotel :) Small bathroom and shower
We have big luggage (travelling for a while!) so requested a low floor and we got the lower level with only a few stairs :) kettle, mugs, wine glasses! We parked down the street next to the park for one night for about 12€. You can also use the park and ride (summer) at withdean leisure complex but it doesn’t make much of a difference price wise after you pay for parking and then the bus in and out of town to get back to your car. Depending how long you’re parked though!

United KingdomIt's a simple, inexpensive place in central Brighton, so not The Ritz, but comfy and friendly.
This was a bit like staying at a mate's house. Funky posters on the wall, comfy furniture, groovy wallpaper. The lady who welcomed me noted my height and gave me a bigger room, which was sweet. And she was kind enough to let me into my room when I locked myself out at 23.00! So sorry about that!!!

ItalyThe building is a bit old and the room on the third floor had a slightly low ceiling.
The location is fine, in a nice neighborhood from which you can walk to all the key spots in Brighton. Simple but cozy, very friendly staff. Good for a short stay.

For the price in this location it is unbeatable. After reading reviews I was definitely pleasantly surprised! If you're expecting the Ritz however you will be disappointed!

United StatesIt's one of those properties with stairs to climb - just something to be aware of, if you have luggage.
The size of the room I was in was small but it was amazingly well equipped for the size. Everything that you could expect in a room like this was in some nook or corner - towels, tea, coffee, kettle, iron - you name it. The location is great. I could walk everywhere I wanted to be in the centre. The owner/caretaker was considerate and caring. She is half the reason I'd consider returning.
