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.).

This is a hidden gem - it has so many little touches that make it exceptional - the staff go out of their way to provide an excellent service. We ate in the restaurant both evenings and the food was excellent!

United KingdomPrice was quite high but we had premium rooms at a peak Bank Holiday weekend.
Fairly recently opened following refurbishment so building and services in excellent order. Interior design and fitting very nice and stylish. Location perfect with great views out to sea and only a short trip into Brighton. Local village is quaint and offers good facilities.

Everything about this hotel is special: beautifully decorated, quirky finishing touches, very accessible, perfect location, great food choices, spotlessly clean, easy parking, bus stop right outside if you want to travel around, wonderful old fashioned seaside feel to Rottingdene. Best of all, the staff: It's a very young bar staff team, all with great personalities and efficient service, every single member of staff we spoke to made us feel welcome and all seem very happy in their role. The two receptionists were lovely and friendly, check-in and out was very efficient

United KingdomThe surrounding area. Car park can be difficult to find a space sometimes as it's open to non-residents. No lift, can be a problem for guests with mobility issues. Rooms can be on touch on the small size, even 'Superior' rooms.
Meals & dining area were fine. Staff excellent. Hotel was still in good condition after a refurbish the other year. Our room was well appointed, but on the small size.

The staff were exceptional. They were all very friendly, very helpful, very considerate and would try their best to make your stay as wonderful as possible. The property is beautifully decorated, very clean, the building is magnificent, right next to the beach with very friendly-owned shops near by. Just perfect for me!

United KingdomCan’t think of anything.
Very close to the sea. Beautifully refurbished to a comfortable and high standard. We had a standard twin room which had plenty of space and nice extras like tea, coffee and biscuits. There’s no lift but that was ok for us. We had dinner which was good quality and very enjoyable. The restaurant, bar and outside seating all beautifully done. We went to explore Rottingdean and were surprised how much there was to see. We also did a walk along the undercliff. The car park was easy to find and plenty of spaces. It might be harder to park at busy times.
