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...).

Good location for Hove and near leisure centre so I could use the pool. Best thing was being able to park at the hotel. Breakfast was nice what you would expect and staff were friendly.

Our room was upgraded to the top floor which has comfortable spacious rooms with sea-view balconies. This was a pleasant surprise! The hotel is small, but ticks a lot of boxes - certainly well located, friendly staff, altogether good experience.

United KingdomFood to be offered in an evening would be good even if it was just pizza or sandwiches. We ordered food at lunch time, 1pm but the chef was not in so we were limited as to what we could have to eat. Also if guests could use the bar until later at night rather than it shutting at 10.30pm or 11pm.
We did not have breakfast in the hotel. I thought It was very expensive The room was amazing. A large balcony and spacious room

United KingdomA great base for a weekend in Brighton and Hove, close to the seafront but some way from the centre so quieter than some central hotels. Very clean and a comfortable bed. The hotel laid on an early breakfast for participants in the Brighton Marathon. The restaurant doesn't serve an evening meal, but there's a great choice of cafes and restaurants nearby and if you prefer a takeaway the hotel will provide crockery and cutlery to eat it in the bar.

United KingdomModern, quiet room with very comfortable bed. Provided with a lot of teas/coffees and the reception staff were very helpful. The only difficulty was the car park was small and hard to manoeuvre in. We didn't get a view- it was of the car park some flowers/bushes would have improved it. However for a couple of nights stay it was a good place to base ourselves.
