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 are 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 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 KingdomMore tables are needed in a shared room.
Cozy and pleasant hostel by the sea, close to the city center. It's cheap accommodation in a lovely but expensive city.

United StatesCan't think of anything
Shared room for 4 was still quite cosy, one room with two twin beds, another annex with two bunk beds, gave some privacy to both parts. Shared bathroom was very clean with free shampoo/conditioner and hand soap. Towels provided. Location is amazing!!! Steps from the beach, 30 min walk from train station. Great position between Brighton and Hove, some affordable restaurants around the corner on Western Rd. Great service on the desk. Fine to leave your luggage before checking in/after check out. The other guests are mainly 30-40s, professional type, many there for co-working. Not a party hostel, for the better. Bunk beds were large enough for me (6'6")

United KingdomSomeone did scan a card and open our door obviously assuming the room was empty - not sure whether it was staff/housekeeping or another customer who accidentally received the wrong key to the wrong room haha. This was the only little problem really but other than that the stay was brilliant.

United KingdomWhile we did have clean towels, the previous guests' dirty towels were still hanging on the back of the bathroom door. The bathroom in general (sink in particular) could have done with a deeper clean (if I were to be really picky). A couple of light bulbs also needed replacing so it was quite dark. But all in all it was very good value for money.
The people were friendly and checking in/out was quick and efficient. The room was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. The design was also very nice - it feels well thought out and has a nice vibe.

United KingdomThe other guests were very noisy going up and down the corridors and the corridors smelt of smoke - whilst we had a good stay it was perhaps a little overpriced.
Large room. Comfortable bed, good black out curtains. Based right by the beach with lovely view of the old pier. Check in was really easy and staff were really friendly. The hotel has a lovely design.

United KingdomMy one complaint is that the bunk beds don't come with a reading light, plug or small shelf; which is very inconvenient.
Very friendly and helpful staff, well appointed and comfortable room, a great location; the coworking room was very useful and nicely laid out, the shower was good and beds come with towels, which is convenient.

ArgentinaThe facilities were not great, the breakfast was just decent but it had nothing special, and there was no common space to spend some time or chill in there.
The location is really nice, just in front of the promenade, near the i360 and a 10’ walk from the pier.

ThailandCommunal staircase is a little tired but overall I'd say still a very good value option. Would have liked a blanket for the room.
I loved the sea view. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The room was tastefully decorated, clean and lots of space to store bags and hang clothes etc. The staff were super friendly and stored my bags for me. While some reveiews so no tea in rooms I did have a kettle in mine. They had drinking water, tea and coffee in the lobby and toiletry items for sale so really you have everything you need. I think this is a much less wasteful approach than leaving toiletries and hot drinks in rooms. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay here again.

GermanyRoommates cleanliness was lacking, which is not the hostel’s fault but annoying nonetheless.
Breakfast was great and a good size for the he price. It was a bit unfortunate that the restaurant was under construction and there was no kitchen to use either. The room was great, free towels, shampoo etc included so that was great.

United KingdomAssistance or advice on nearby car parking would have been useful. Unable to open the windows when it got overly hot during the night. Understand previous guest reviews using 'run down' or 'shabby', but the pluses outweighed these and the price matched our expectations.
We knew that facilities in the rooms would be 'basic', but this was clearly stated when we booked. We didn't need a kettle or tv to enjoy our stay. The provision of USB charging points was welcomed and very useful. Great seafront location and friendly staff
