How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified review- Location was good... - Room was OK....but felt a bit cramped at times, and a bit claustrophobic - Ensuite bathroom/toilet were separate (within the room) which was good - Good Fan - Bed OK...but sliding around a bit Overall ok...but overpriced for what it is/what you get...and overpriced considering it is contactless check-in...I.e no reception or staff there
- Very overpriced for what is basically a B&B/Guesthouse type of accommodation - No parking facilities anywhere nearby - and an average of £20-£40 per day to park - Very tight at times...felt very enclosed... - Sink and Shower drainage were blocked - so when you ran the taps - the sink and shower tray would fill up with water - Very Dirty toilet brush in toilet...not good!! - Late check-in of 1500 >>> and then a Very Early check-out time of 1000 (does not reflect the price paid...justify!?) - All a bit thrown together....and worn... ... ...but did the job for a couple of nights in the end✔️

Verified reviewClose to the beach, lanes, centre
I asked for parking permit, emailed the hotel - no response. Called the hotel was told I would get sent details - nothing received. So had to buy an expensive parking space elsewhere last minute. The bed is not particularly comfy. The bathroom is tiny.

Verified reviewI loved my stay at the Guest And The City. I had a slight issue with the booking but Ashley (the owner) was amazing and quickly rectified the situation. She provided an amazing experience during my stay in Brighton, recommending the local area. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to friends and family.

Verified reviewI went to Brighton to enjoy the gay parade, this hotel is located in a great place to both enjoy the event and enjoy the city, the entrance is easily accessible from the hotel.
