Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomHaving arrived late we found the night staff very helpful.We stayed in the Brighton room, which had everything that we needed for our stay. Both the room and en-suite were spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable In both of the hotels, I loved the decor and facilities wish we had a extra night. Everything about our stay at Sea Spray was wonderful the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had our breakfast in the The Charm next door which was of high quality produce with so much to choose from, served in a beautiful sunny dining area. Checking in and out was extremely straightforward and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Location was by the beach and easy to get to from the station and lovely walk to the town Have already recommended Sea Spray to a friend and are looking forward to returning very soon

United KingdomOne of the windows in the room wouldn't open which made the room a little warm. A fan was provided, but it would have been good to get more of the sea breeze into the room.
A lovely Seaview room that was a good size. Breakfast is provided a couple of doors down at their sister hotel, The Charm. The breakfast room was large, sunny and well laid out. An excellent selection of cooked and continental breakfast items. Friendly service from staff in both hotels.

United Kingdom- Not enough clothes storage, no wardrobe or dedicated clothes drawers - Shower head too big for water pressure
Nice little hotel on the east side of town close to gay village and beach. Stayed in the New York 'Penthouse', large attic room, lots of space, breakfast served in sister hotel a few doors up. WiFi generally good. Good sized TV for wet weather days. Overall good value stay. There was a portable aircon unit and fan in the room though didn't need them.

United KingdomJust needs a little bit of TLC. Our shower tray was very marked, the sink had stains around the taps, possibly limescale. Very creaky floors which is to be expected and the people above did do a lot of walking about! Nothing major to dislike really.
Comfortable spacious room with sea view and balcony. Good choice of teas and coffee, bowl of fruit in room on arrival. Bottle of water every day. Free fruit and cakes in reception. Friendly staff.

United KingdomJust had a wonderful stay in Brighton at the Sea Spray Hotel and would highly recommend staying. We stayed in the Moroccon room, which had everything that we needed for our stay. Both the room and en-suite were spotlessly clean. Checking in and out was extremely straightforward and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Have already recommended Sea Spray to a friend and are looking forward to returning in the future. Michelle and Gary
