Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

GermanyI can't say that I didn't like anything. The apartment was small (the Green and Claret single room), as were the shower and toilet, but it was good value for money and perfectly suitable for my purposes (two nights only).
Very close to the sea, easily accessible by bus from the train station, nice area with everything you need around the corner. Pier and inner city within easy reach. Bike rental station in the immediate vicinity. The very friendly host deserves special mention! Communication via Messages was quick and easy. Thank you very much!

United KingdomNothing, it was fab.
Jeremy was super responsive and very helpful. His instructions about check in were very clear and he was able to arrange parking permits for me and I was able to park right outside. The room was immaculate and thoughtfully equipped with fresh water bottles and tea coffee etc a nice mug, plate, spoon and knife.

NorwayI had no issues.
I had a great stay at Brighton Surf guest house. It's a self check in property, but the owner is easy to reach and gives you good information before arriving so checking in is super easy. The guesthouse is in a good location, close to bus stops and just ten minutes walk from Brighton Pier. About 20-25 minute walk from the bus station (or 5 minutes by bus). I booked a single room, but got a free upgrate to a double room! The room was a little small (which is pretty standard in the UK), so could be a problem if you have lots of luggage, but wasnt an issue for me. Cute room decor! The room also had water, tea, coffee and lots of biscuits/snacks which were included in the room fee. Great addition! I would absolutely stay here again if I visit Brighton again.

The owner Jeremy was extremely helpful and kind! The room was very comfortable and the free Wi-Fi was really fast. Room also had a tv with loads of channels, a fridge stocked with water and there was loads of snacks and tea/coffee provided. Location was a walking distance into the city and Brighton Pier. Check in and check out was also very smooth. Would definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomIf you are plus size you really really would think it hell the shower 🚿 size is a joke I felt I couldn't really have a good shower I can't even imagine anyone who plus size even getting on with it plus self checking what not bad but bit worrying if you had an issue with something
I honestly think if a hotel room was like this I would be happy it was only a few nights yet I wish I stayed longer the small good size fridge plus the welcome pack and water in the fridge and the very beautiful clean bed and the location experience definitely definitely going back

Extremely helpful and friendly owner who emailed ahead and helped us with parking permits, very responsive to emails. Large comfortable bed, very clean, amazing location. It was hot at the top of the house but the owner had left us with two large fans which meant we were very comfortable.
