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 KingdomThe hotel needs updating so it doesn't really feel worth the price. The carpets were stained and had burn marks, there were marks on the paint and tired furniture, and holes in the bedding. Our room unfortunately wasn't serviced during the day either (even though we left the sign asking) however we were able to get fresh supplies and towels from the front desk.
Barry was a fantastic introduction to the hotel. He greeted us with kindness and enthusiasm and couldn't do more to help. The staff in the bar were also really attentive and helpful. The room was comfortable, and on the surface has everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay, any negatives were just minor.

RomaniaThe extractor fan in the bathroom did not work, although the room had a nice terrace door, so it was easy to air out. Also, the key card did not work on one occasion, but the hotel staff were very quick to resolve any issues. There were a few tiny marks on the carpet, but I'm being nit-picky there. Heater/aircon unit was complicated to use, so we gave up, but we probably could have figured it out if we were not so tired.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room had a coffee machine, plus the bed was comfy and warm. The room was also a good size, and the chairs had a nice pattern and were pleasant to sit on. The TV was easy to use. I also enjoyed my breakfast.

United KingdomShower was unusable. Control came off in my hand. No water pressure. Time was short so we had to wash at the sink. Reported to reception on departure. As we had all ready paid no discount could be applied. (Not the point of reporting). We were offered the opportunity to shower in another room or a complimentary coffee in the restaurant, unfortunately we didn't have time.
Staff, location, room all excellent.

United KingdomThe hotel was a lot older than I expected and needs refurbishment. The carpets throughout look old, dirty and need replacing. There is a lack of any fitness facilities. The room is very small and basic.
You pay for the location here right on the seafront. The breakfast staff were very friendly too.

United KingdomJust a couple of areas needed a good hoover or perhaps some new carpets. Corridors to rear room block feels particularly tired.
Great location nice entrance and coffee bar area. Hallways to rear wing very tired and not particularly clean. Room itself modest but good. Parking a huge plus. Would definitely use again for overnight trips to Brighton.

United KingdomA sea view would have been great but I was too late to book a family room with sea view. The room was quite warm with three of us there and it wasn't a particularly warm day so may get hot in the summer
the desk staff were excellent, very welcoming and friendly even giving my son a polly pop (after checking that it was okay with me). They made us feel very welcome and it was great to be able to leave the car in situ even after checking out. A lovely spot to explore Hove but also just a little walk into Brighton too. Nice family room with three beds which was great for us and a big bathroom
