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.).

The room and facilities were well-kept. The staff were exceedingly helpful! I liked the shared utility room with fridge, microwave, ironing board, etc. The location was excellent - very much in the thick of things!

United KingdomWe liked it all.
Great location, lovely and clean and had everything you need for a stay - tea/coffee selection, water, biscuits and toiletries. Room was compact but fine for a couple. Owner was lovely and really helpful. There is a communal kitchenette that you can use. The fridge was handy. Also had glasses and a microwave etc, should anyone need them. We noticed from some reviews that there was mention of noise. We didn’t find this a problem (back, top floor room) but earplugs were provided.

Location is perfect for us, close to the sea and lots of places for food and drink. The beds were so so comfy. Lovely shower and everything you could need was provided. Staff friendly and helpful. It was loud at night with the bustling pubs and lots of people, but I liked that! Earplugs provided and solve that issue. Great nights sleep both nights!

IsraelThe hotel seems to have two types of rooms: either an inner and quiet but small one or a big but frontal one, where the walls hardly stop noise from the street outside. They do provide ear plugs which help with that during the night. Improved acoustics would really make the frontal rooms perfect!
The hostess went above and beyond to help us with the room and our luggage, was very patient and hospitable. Great location in kemptown.

We love swimming in the sea at Brighton and enjoyed a night dip, so we were very cold and loved the contrast of the cold to the warmth of the room and hot water in the shower...a great welcome for us. The area was perfectly close to the beach front, and in an area we really like.
