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 KingdomWould have been nice to have some basic breakfast at least, maybe some toast, tea and coffee. A bit overpriced for what you get but the staff were reasonably helpful and would most probably stay again because of the location.
Good location, comfortable enough bed. OK staff and communal area ,liked the view to the sea.

Good location, very near to the main attractions! Friendly staff. Booked the family room, it was well equipped with kettle, cups and coffee sachets. (Ps: could’ve done with milk/creamer sachets aswell)

Czech RepublicAltough the location itself is good the hostel is located on top of a very loud club, so especially at the weekend you don’t get much sleep. (But I think that was written in the hostel description, I would recommend ear plugs like I had) When I first arrived there was a guy just passed out on the reception sofa (probably high) and the receptionist just didn’t mind. The whole place kind of smelled like a public bathroom. You have to make your own bed, which I didn’t mind, but it’s not standard from my experience. The bathroom in each room is quite small. You don’t get any storage space like a locker or something. You don’t get a towel.
The location is good, very close to the sea. The receptionist waited for me even though I arrived at a very late time.

United StatesIf you're one who plans on turning in early/you want a quiet night sleep (which I was looking for on this specific stay), I would recommend somewhere else. The proximity to nightlife does not make for a quiet setting.
The location is hard to beat. The Brighton beach inn is practically across the street from the shore and close to a lot of restaurants, bars/clubs and a sizable parking garage. The three bed room was also fairly nice. Clean private bathroom and an power outlet and reading light on each bunk was a nice touch.

United KingdomI was woken up by outside noise about 8am but the hostel is based on a main road. The foot of my bed had a hard wooden surround which was covered by a duvet and I ended up knocking into it and bruising my leg. Also, the shower cubicle had a shower curtain so the bathroom floor was wet after my shower.
This hostel is a 10 minute walk from Brighton train station and is based in the centre of Brighton. The receptionist was very pleasant when checking me in and he even showed me to my bedroom. When I queried the 10am check-out time, he advised me that I could check out by midday due to having a private room, what a relief!

NetherlandsThere is a bar that blasted really loud music right under the hostel but they did warn us of that. And the mattress was really thin so it was kind of hard to sleep on
The room and the bathrooms were very nice and the staff was really helpful

United StatesThe room I stayed in was disgusting (shaved hairs all over the sink, a moldy piece of bread at the end of my bunk bed), and the description of "above a night club" understates exactly how loud it is. The music literally shook the room until 3AM. If you're someone looking for the cheapest way to experience Brighton's nightlife until the early hours of the morning, this is the spot for you. For other travelers, I recommend looking elsewhere.
Staff went above and beyond to be helpful, and the parking was MUCH cheaper here than anywhere else in the city (I paid £15).

United KingdomThere was a green light above the door which was so bright and on all the time. I think it may have been an emergency exit door or something but it was awful trying to sleep with it. The room was fine. Incredibly basic and very expensive for what you get but I guess that’s just Brighton prices.
It was clean so I was grateful for that.

United KingdomI Stayed in the 15 bed hostel room and what I didn't like was the bathrooms which were very dirty and the wifi was always disconnecting and there was a club downstairs which may make it difficult for sleeping for some people.
The location is wonderful for brighton, the staff in reception were amazing and very kind and the people I stayed with in the hostel were very disacrete and friendly, they didn't make any noise but it usually is luck who you stay with.
