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.).

the room was amazing - a double in the attic with a balcony (didn't climb out!), a cast iron fireplace (didn't use!) and not only a bathroom, but a BATH!! excellent. Room was a bit cold but there was a partially effective heater

United KingdomI was very satisfied with my overall experience. From many hostels I've stayed in, YHA Brighton is definitely top tier for me. With travelling alone I felt safe comfortable and really enjoyed my time I didn't feel awkward asking for anything as the vibes were just positive friendly and chilled. All staff were friendly and smiley and so helpful. Everything was so clean!!! Would definitely recommend! 😊

SpainI understand they have their own breakfasts, and some appliances are restricted to the kitchen, which meant that there was no common microwave to use.
The staff was super kind and helpful, from the check-in to the general stay (they even helped me get a bowl and warm water for my food). The common facilities served as an open workspace where I had meetings (good and free wifi) without much noise and just overall comfy spaces. The shared bathroom (shared only with the people in your room) was clean, and the hot water worked beautifully.

United KingdomAm not sure if you can do anything about this i.e. snoring! Once the night gets deeper the snoring (of some people) gets louder. Probably you can consider distributing ear plugs while checking in :) Also, since your property is at a key location there is lot of noise from the weekend revellers especially if it is a Friday or Saturday night. Again, I guess there is not much you can do.
All the people in the room minded their own business which resulted in a very quite room despite being full :) They all respected each others privacy. Since I got up early I was able to use the facilities in the room without any waiting time.

United KingdomFew issues. With bathroom but not a massive issue.
We had to stay at this hotel, because Brunswick hotel and spa had completely let us down. We were in a bit of a tight spot with our three young children and had to find somewhere at the last minute. Receptionists and managers were lovely and really looked after us. Facilities downstairs are excellent great bar area and foose ball table for kids. Rooms are basic but linen is very clean, bathroom could do with a bit of updating/ service. But for the money I was very happy. Thank you to the staff

AustraliaThe pillows were a little bit rough (hard and thin). The breakfast finishes very early at 9am. If you are driving into Brighton, they don't really have a spot to park your car, but that's more of a reflection on driving in Brighton. Just something to note.
Great spot in Brighton, really good for someone passing through the area. The bathroom was modern and clean.

United KingdomI don't like the no alcohol rule. I've already paid for my stay, I should be allowed to do whatever I want in that room.
It was very clean, the room was spacious, the bathroom was better than in some hotels I've stayed. The staff were polite. The facilities were great too, tv in the room, coffee available downstairs etc. Location is central and we had an amazing view of Brighton pier.
