Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe complimentary tea and coffee in the room was rather basic. The windows were a bit dirty, which spoilt the sea view.
The buffet breakfast was exceptional, huge choice and good quality.

United KingdomCheck in took ages, don’t expect to pay this price and be made to queue for 15 mins. Any time we went through reception there was a queue. Cheeky charge for car park which belongs to the hotel. Parts of the building were a bit shabby and in need of a touch up.
Great location and lovely building.

United KingdomAlthough there was plenty of choice for breakfast the food was cold which was dissapointing but this is generally what happens when it is a buffet and catering for large amounts of people. Was expensive for a two night stay but ok for a special treat.
The room was large, modern & clean- the hotel was lovely. Great location for exploring Brighton- right on the seafront and walking distance to the shops, lanes and restaurants.

United KingdomI called up the day before for the sofa bed to be made up and we were unable to check into our hotel when we arrived as the sofa bed was being made up, however, when we got there, it wasn’t done! Couldn’t get through to guest services from phone in the room. WiFi code didn’t recognise my surname despite that being the name on the booking, couldn’t get through to guest services on the phone to sort. No mini bar Spa - was A LOT smaller than advertised and did not look enjoyable, we decided not to go into the pool area
Loved location, right on the seafront. Hotel was clean and decorated well. Staff were unbelievably helpful!

United KingdomI didn't like that at arrival we we didn't had towels in the bathroom, although after I discussed at the reception, they brought. Another inconvenient was that the cold water from bathroom was not working. To pay lot of money at a good rated hotel and you can't even take a proper shower because the cold water was not working... Another think that is unconfortabe is that in the room you don't have any bottle of water but keetle and tea bags, yes. It would be nice if they can provide.
The location was very nice, close to the beach. The hotel is as per expectations regarding the furniture and the cleanliness and the breakfast was verry tasty. Fresh and quality products.

United KingdomAccording to the brochure handed to us, wi-fi was only free to paying customers if one was member or became a member of their loyalty programme. Only at checkout we found out that there is in fact a password to bypass this and access the wi-fi without having to enrol in their loyalty programme. I wish this had been made clear to us on arrival.
Very nice room with a superb view. The bed was very comfy, and the the size of the TV was as big as any I have ever seen in a hotel room. Having use of the swimming pool was very enjoyable. Friendly staff, and the breakfast was excellent value for money.

IsraelThe room did not meet my expectations. There could be more amenities. I stayed for 5 nights. I could have been provided some goodies like mineral still water upon my arrival (only once towards the end did I get a can). Not everything was replaced on a daily basis (I wanted minted tea and chamomile- instead of just black tea which I do not drink), toilet paper or small towels (once none of these was added). I would have liked to have a mini fridge. This would have been of help. The room and the building looks in need of upkeep to make it look less old. At certain times the hotel was crowded and there were too many people waiting for the lift, especially when whole groups do check-in. Once I had to go all the way upstairs to the fifth floor at the end of a long conference day!
Breakfast Location Help I got at the reception, especially by Suzana. She was so willing to help and nice. Really lovely.

United KingdomThink about number of hotel guests and how this may affect breakfast ie quantity of food and seating of guests.
For some reason I booked a room for a person in a wheelchair, which we didn't need. No hooks on bathroom door for towels/robes etc. No shelf in bathroom for toiletries. Breakfast on Saturday morning was overcrowded and chaotic. Location good.

United KingdomOn arrival we asked about parking and were informed the multiple storey we parked in was ok, were given a code and paid £9 in the hotel reception, when leaving the car park we were told our ticket did not apply to the car park and had to pay £28. Total £37. On arrival only one lift was working and a group of 52 members of the Sunseakers club were waiting to use the one lift with luggage in front of us. The bar was packed with a wedding party and in the morning there was a queue from the breakfast room into the corridor, another log wait. Nice hotel but full to capacity and a lot of money for the experience.
Excellent room, excellent breakfast
