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.).

GermanyMichael and Paul are lovely hosts who welcomed us to their home for a few days. This was probably the fastest check-in experience we ever had - didn‘t even get to ring the doorbell ourselves as we were already greeted at the doorstep! The room is down in the basement and has its own entrance, so there is lots of privacy. It has a big window for natural light and is super spacious. We had everything we could wish for during our stay and were sad we had to leave again. The bed was super comfortable and the room had everything you could possibly need during your stay. (earplugs, chargers, you name it - they probably have it for you!) The bathroom is separate just up the stairs, so no chance of fogging up your room after a shower. We were lucky with the weather but Michael and Paul provided us with lots of information of things to see and do in Brighton even on a rainy day. They have a lovely dog who unfortunately was very sick during our stay and needed a bit more love and attention. If you have the chance to book this, you should take it! We will be back next time we're in Brighton!

We thought we had a very warm welcome by the hosts. Excellent attention to detail in the accommodation, such as multiple chargers, umbrellas, earplugs. A marvellous small collection of thoroughly entertaining books from diverse but wonderful writers. Just like Rolls Royce, they think of everything. Our hosts were extremely helpful with taxis, parking permits, recommendations for food and entertainment, all within a ten minute walk.

United KingdomWow, such a wonderful place to stay! From the moment we pulled up outside the property, the hosts ensured that everything was perfect for us. Michael directed us to a parking space and helped with luggage back to the house. Although there was plenty of tea and coffee facilities in the room, we were offered drinks upon arrival. The room itself was very spacious and tastefully decorated with quality furniture and a very comfortable bed. Phone chargers are even provided, so no scrambling around under the bed looking for sockets! Everything was spotlessly clean and the hosts really had thought of everything to make Stay@27 a home from home. The pier, shops and restaurants are just a few minutes’ stroll away, so the location was also perfect. The great reviews are very well deserved. Thank you Michael, Paul and Bolo x

United KingdomThis does not apply as the property and location were what we wanted. The parking was fine but could be problematic as it is limited and there are no reserved spaces so it’s first come first served but we managed fine and as parking was one of the main (potential) issues when staying in Brighton it was the main reason we chose Stay@27.
We chose this place for its location and it didn’t disappoint. The room was spacious, clean and with so many extras it felt very homely and welcoming. We had our own private entrance from straight off of the street. Plenty of tea and coffee choices. Michael and Paul were brilliant hosts, very welcoming, especially that pot of tea, and they were friendly, helpful and extremely gracious. The property is in a very quiet street and was about a 30 minute walk to The Lanes so ideal for shopping, eating and the Brighton Centre. Thank you Michael and Paul

The location is fantastic, a 5 minute walk to the sea and 15 mins walk to the centre and attractions, we went to see a performance at the Theatre Royal, ideal stay. A huge 'thank you' to both Michael and Paul for their hospitality and extreme kindness, we most definitely will be back!
