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.).

Staff were all fantastic. Location is perfect being so close to the DLR but incredibly peaceful and quiet in such a central location. Breakfast very good with something for everyone.

AustraliaThe conference rooms were quite “conference roomy” - if that makes sense! Absolutely adequate, and nice looking, with gorgeous comfortable chairs and so on. I think because we were on a “retreat” - not your typical course, floor cushions and other forms of seating and gathering would’ve been amazing for our specific event, for meditations, group work and sharing stories.
I loved the grounds and the story of the foundation. It was so great meeting the Master, and hearing some of the history in the chapel. The room was simple and clean. I could’ve used a little stand for my suitcase, but everything else was just right for the stay.

United KingdomI can’t think of anything-except perhaps my room overlooking a busy road and the traffic noise.
It was close to the dlr station and near to the person I was visiting. It felt very safe, clean and comfy. The breakfast was superb. I really liked the idea of a quiet reflective place in the middle of London and the green space in the middle with beautiful trees.

United KingdomIt might feel different if you were surrounded by groups - I was lucky that there were no large groups on that particular Sunday night.
A real oasis in the heart of the East End. Bedrooms were very comfy and warm and breakfast had a great choice. The old building is beautiful and some of the rooms could be used just to sit quietly and read etc if they weren't being used by groups on retreat. The main sittng room had a lovely fire and was so peaceful. Reception staff can sell you drinks including wine and there are other snacks on sale too. The chapel is another lovely space and guests can attend daily services if they want to. The grounds are lovely with seating and tables and the Yurt (community cafe) in the neighbouring grounds do great coffees and cakes. Best cheesecake I've had in years. I would definitely stay again and prices were very reasonable for the quality of the surroundings.

United KingdomOnly downside is the traffic noise from outside and in corridors which I appreciate can't be helped.
Easy to find very close to Limehouse DLR and within close distance of several cafes, restaurants and shops. The room was clean and comfortable, decorated tastefully and simply. Great to have tea and coffee facilities in the room and a good choice of breakfast included in the price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
