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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI was disappointed to find out upon check in that there is no food service in the hotel so no dinner or breakfast was on offer. The only option for dinner locally was a kebab house. I feel that this lack of choice should be reflected in the room rate. i would not have booked the hotel if I had known this in advance. The listing still mentions food service so should be changed. Misleading
Good location. Very tidy and modern room. Very welcoming

United KingdomCleanliness could be improved slightly, no light switches or lamps near to bed which could be dangerous, location is ok, however a return bus ticket to Brighton is £5.60 or a taxi costs around £12.00 so factor this in when looking at costs. No wardrobe
Excellent shower, fridge in room, free bottled water due to heat, separate entrance to hotel, roof terrace.

United KingdomOnly one of the windows opened and while there was a ceiling fan we prefer fresh air! The bathroom was nicely decorated however there was an empty shower gel tube on top of the shower and the shower head needed a good clean, also the towels had a very unpleasant aroma. There was also an empty water bottle behind the bedside drawers. Considering you can't check in until 3pm we expected the room to have been cleaned/cleared. While the location for our purpose of stay was good we felt the room was very overpriced for a basic double room 3 miles outside of the centre of Brighton especially as there was no option for breakfast. There is also no onsite parking which was not made clear on the hotel description (I believe this may have now been changed).
The location was good as we needed to be close to Stanmer Park and it was easy to get a bus into Brighton from across the road

United Kingdom- There seems to be a tenant living there who stores extremely loudly that requires noise cancellation equipment. On both occasions throughout the year, we heard this person and they were in the same room. Either a coincidence or they live there?
