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.).

GermanyThe water pressure in the shower could have been better but this was just a minor issue.
Perfectly located in the city of Brighton. Julie and Melina are such great hosts. The house is super clean and cozy. Breakfast was prepared freshly every morning for us.

United KingdomThe tiniest quibble - and it really is tiny - is that there was no bedside lamps and the reading light was very bright.
The location was excellent - close enough for everything to be walkable but just far enough off the main drag to be blissfully quiet at night.

United KingdomWe would have liked the option of cereal as an alternative to the full breakfast on days when a full breakfast was too much. You could choose an alternative combination of cooked breakfast ingredients and toast however which was good. We were offered cereals but felt it was an imposition as cereal wasn’t routinely on the menu.
The location. The cleanliness. The hospitality of the hosts.

United KingdomThe room was perfectly quiet from within the guest house, but because of the extreme temperature outside we needed to sleep with the window open so the noise of the traffic and some people was disturbing at night. This can’t be helped the property is on a fairly busy road. A room at the back would be quieter.
Hosts were fantastic. We received a warm, friendly, helpful welcome. Room spotlessly clean, bright with great attention to detail and good quality linen/towels/products etc. convenient location to walk into Kemptown or the centre if Brighton.

United StatesThe only thing I would have loved in my room was a small chair to sit on for coffee/tea besides my bed. Not a negative by any means, but would have been even better!
Melina and Julie were lovely from start to finish, and truly make me feel so comfortable. I was solo traveling and it was my first time in the country, and they were so lovely and welcoming!

TurkeyThe room is a bit small yet enough for one person. The location may be a bit far from the center but again it depends on the purpose of your visit. It is a 15 min walking distance from the center
It s a lovely stay with two great hosts. Clean room with just enough utilities provided. Delicious breakfast. I should warn you full english breakfast is quite big. I suggest to take half english breakfast which was very satisfactory for one person
