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.).

United KingdomShabby and old fashioned, this place is in desperate need of a refurbishment….I’m guessing everything gets cleaned but due to sad state of the interior, it gives impression of being grubby. Weirdly has a feeling of 1950’s boarding house… (from what I’ve seen in the movies anyway).
The bed was comfortable and with the bus stop just outside, easy enough to get into Brighton.

United KingdomIt was difficult to get hot water in the bathroom even after running the tap for some time. Some of the main channels on the tv did not function properly.
The member of staff at reception on our arrival was exceptional. As it was a Bank Holiday, nearly all eating venues in the area were closed. She did some online research & presented us with a hand written list of possible places to eat & their opening times.

United KingdomI could’ve been electrocuted by the hair dryer as the back fell off (it was stuck on with tape) and all the wires were exposed. The room was very hot and could’ve done with a fan. There was no delivery at breakfast time.
Bed was comfortable and it had everything that was needed for a one night stay. The bus stop outside is handy and takes you straight into the city centre.

United KingdomThe reception staff - a lady with a foreign accent seemed a bit terse and impatient with me when she was trying to explain where things were, and I couldn’t quite see where she meant, at first - I had trouble with her accent. I had driven a very long way, and was very tired. She said that I wasn’t listening. I told her that I had listened fine, but I was very tired, having driven a lot of miles that day, and asked her to please be patient with me. Later on she was kind and offered me use of a fan for the bedroom, should I need it. I was very grateful for that as it made a lot of difference. I wasn’t asked if I’d like breakfast in the morning. There was a sign which told you about it and how much it was, though. I was happy to have breakfast on the seafront, in the end. It was nice by the beach and much cheaper than if I’d had it at the hotel. The hotel had a bit of an impersonal feel to it. It wasn’t clear where the main bar was. I could only see the reception area and the upstairs rooms. There wasn’t always someone at reception if you had any questions. For just the one night, however it was only meant to be a base, so it was fit for purpose.
I got a last minute booking to the Preston Hotel, so I was pleased to have managed to book somewhere for the night at short notice. The room was spacious and had a good size en suite bathroom. It was clean and neutral in decor. There was a portable fan available, which I appreciated a lot, as it was very hot. The bathroom was light and airy with a bath and shower unit. The hotel itself was a good walk from Brighton’s town centre. It was easy enough to find parking in the town, and there was also parking available for customers at the hotel. On the whole a pleasant stay, however I only stayed for one night, to break up a long journey.
