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.).

United KingdomAs per instructed I messaged their whatsapp line with enquiries, all of which got ignored! The room was a fair size with a double bed with a single bunk on top. The lighting was terrible. We were provided with a kettle, 2 cups and some sugar 😂 no soap in the bathroom and only provided with half a loo roll! Oh, clearly hadn't been vacuumed in ages either. Then to top it off the check out instructions include stripping the bed and putting linen in bathroom! Never been requested that before! However, it was budget and I didn't expect much so it'll do if you literally just want a bed for the night
The bed was comfy, that's about it!

United KingdomHidden ‘waiver fee’ which they did not explain to me. And check in was 2 but pushed to 4 for some reason. The first room we went into was unclean and torn to pieces. In the second room: - The bathroom smelt of feet and kept returning. - saw blades left in the damaged locker - mould in bathroom everywhere - customer service was so terrible - very thin walls and noisy, roudy guests - lock on the door did not feel safe at all
Pretty much right on the seafront and it was reasonable price on booking.com

United KingdomThe shower cubicle had peeling paint and mold on the ceiling, the cubicle door stuck and I couldn't get out, the water scalded me. Bed was two single mattresses put together on a divan frame, kept moving apart, very uncomfortable. Door to room felt unsecure. People were tapping on the window during the night. I booked for three nights but vacated after two and went home.

United KingdomHotel room was dark, painted all in black with 1 light by the door! Some window panes were smashed and covered in plastic or cardboard. Room was very dirty and bathroom, we were unable to use the shower as it was so hot, hot as in trying to wash under a boiled kettle! The temperature could not be controlled, we couldn't use the sink as there was no plug and the same with the basin hot tap, too hot! There were no staff on hand to assist with the facilities
Location was great, this is the only positive!

United Kingdomhaving no physical reception was very frustrating. the number provided for ‘reception’ do not answer texts or phone calls when you’re trying to access the property. was stood outside waiting an hour till someone eventually picked up after i had called and texted many times. the room itself was okay, however the shower was terrible, water was either boiling hot or freezing cold no in between. FYI if you get the lower bedroom under the building you won’t get any signal on your phone which was also very frustrating

United KingdomThe self check in process is a little bit frustrating as it was all communication on WhatsApp which seemed very disorganised. I was expecting a double bed and a single bed but had the most uncomfortable camp bed to sleep in which for the money charged is not really acceptable. Only managed to sleep about an hour on it as it was so uncomfortable. It's really black inside and not very well lit so felt a bit hazardous navigating the three flights of stairs! And one of the curtains was hooked up with nails which felt a bit like a squat.
The double bed was okay and reasonably quiet.

United KingdomThe pictures on booking.com looked nothing like the hotel rooms I stayed in. There was an outside window area full of excrements and dead birds and the smell coming from it was atrocious. I have taken pictures I intend not to post them on social media, however I will be asking for a refund.

United KingdomThe room was tiny, a tiny little box and the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything! The room next to me had a couple in there who had their television on all night, they had a dog that I could hear barking and I could hear their conversations from midnight till 08.00am ( I know this isn't necessarily the hotels fault but as there is no reception or anyone to speak to there is nothing they could have done anyway) its not value for money and I had to pay 137.00 + 2.97 just to " check myself in" you have to do so much yourself and what is expected from you, but I had terrible service and a crap nights sleep! Maybe think about booking something else nicer in Brighton!
The room was clean at least....
