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 KingdomKaren is a great host, I cannot remember how many times I have stayed here, but the welcome is always great. I stayed in the single bed room downstairs which now has a TV for streaming sites like BBC i Player, Netflix, etc Good communication from Karen before arriving and space to park my car on the front of the property. As I have said before, it is almost the same as being at home.

United KingdomWhere to start with this one when i first made the booking i had to cancel twice due to train strikes, Karen was so understanding and allowed me to rebook it for a later date which I finally made and I'm so glad I did. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with a friendly face and warm personality with Karen, she made us feel instantly welcome as if we were family, she showed us around and explained everything to us. The room was beautiful so many little touches that make sure a big difference we where provided with a very comfy and warm bed, which I find are very hard to come by when your booking a weekend away, along with hot water bottles and the best dressing gown I have ever worn honestly I wanted to take it with me! When we come back to the room in the afternoon we had a loverly box on the side with everything you might have forgot, the box contained a tooth brush and tooth paste, Deodorant, dry shampoo, pads, body wash and shampoo. We also had all the coffee and tea making facilities and quality biscuits. Not to mention the sky light gave us an amazing view of Brighton at night. I slept like a baby and felt very refreshed this morning, I will definitely be staying here again I would highly recommend Karen's to anyone looking to book some time away, you won't be disappointed.

United KingdomNothing - it was all good!
I was in Brighton for a 3 day fair and South Downs View turned out to be the perfect place to stay! Comfortable, spotlessly clean, with 24 access to the kitchen to make coffee and tea and use all the facilities, as well as to choose from a wide range of the uncooked breakfast provided at a time to suit myself. Excellent bus service to central Brighton with the bus stop just around the corner which meant that I could leave my car there, saving on the exorbitant parking fees in the city. I totally recommend this property as the ideal home from home place to stay to relax and recuperate at the end of a tiring day. Karen is delightful and very helpful.

United KingdomOnly one issue that compromised the comfort of the property- the bedroom ceiling sloped steeply over one side of the double bed. Impossible to stand up on that side, and very tricky to get up in the night to use the toilet because of low ceiling.
Very clean, attractive and very well equipped. Friendly helpful host. Good parking. Kitchen and breakfast options provided were excellent. Bathroom sharing caused no problems at all.
