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.).

United KingdomThe property is so old and dated that even the water in the shower doesn’t drain properly and if someone else is using shower in their room you can hear the water gurgling in the drain in your room. Bed is not comfortable either.

GermanyThe smell in my room was terrible and even though I kept the window open the smell just stayed and coming back I had it on all of my clothes too. For this amount of money and advertising as a non-smoking room, i found it quite frustrating. The shower didn't work really well which is a shame. Probably wouldn't stay there again and not recommending staying longer than one night if you like a decent shower after an active day.
Location is very practical and WiFi worked really well

GreeceIt would help if it had a reception (for example luggage storage if you arrive early). Also it needs a handy man to do a fixing session for some small issues
Convenient location, right in front of the Pavillion. The room was great, we appreciated that there were coffee sticks-milk-tea etc. Has a fridge and a microwave.

United KingdomThe mattresses was basically jail cell mats the one bunk bed had a hard mattress the rest was jail beds you could feel the Metal through the mat. No cutlery or plates only cup and tea spoons. Shower was so small and was basically a hose as a shower head. Toilet roll went in first night had to go buy more. Sofa bed I assume was broken as you couldn’t sit on it. Windows didn’t lock or shut properly and couldn’t lock the main door
The location is fine close to sea front close to the Lanes. We stayed in the big room with double bed and 4 bunk beds there was 3 of us.

United StatesThere was an ant problem. Ants all on the counter until there was trash then they migrated to there. There was construction going on outside (not the kipps fault) and housekeeping broke my sleep bc they weren't informed of my late check out-which was offered bc I got locked IN my room upon checking in. Maintenance was called, lock had to be readjusted.
The space was really roomy...6 beds (there was only 2 of us). Microwave and fridge and kettle were available. I was accommodated w ear plugs and didn't understand why at first.

United KingdomI didn't realise that this was a converted house, which was ok, apart from the 4 flights of stairs I had to climb, I had to help a couple with a pram as they couldn't cope. Let's say it's for the more athletic. But the place was spotless and my room, I expect the others too had a Fan, which was needed on what the hottest weekend of July 2025 so far ...
The location is excellent, just 5mins from Brighton Pier, exactly where I wanted to be.

United Kingdomthe sound insulation between the rooms was very poor and other residents were partying until 2am each night which made it hard to get to sleep, and there was no air conditioning which made it very hot due to the heatwave.
The price was good, the location was ideal for the conference I was attending and the bed was comfortable.
