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.).

Romaniaa constant noise and cold air coming from the ventilation even if set to low made it uncomfortable over night; the shower temperature set and impossible to be changed (never experienced that in my life, I wonder who had the idea..); pancakes at breakfast were truly horrific - buffet breakfast was very good though
The room was clean and comfortable and the tea and coffee facilities were great. The staff was great, attentive and very nice, probably the highlightvof the hotel. The location of the hotel is good and the street is quiet so no noise during evening and night.

CanadaAC in our room had to be fixed twice during our stay, and the pipe in the shower wouldn't drain water very well, so if you took a shower that was longer than 30 seconds, you would be standing in water.
Probably the best location for exploring London. Lovely, extremely friendly staff.

MalaysiaOne of the restaurant staff was quite mean. I ask for a coffee and ask him at the same time if the coffee is refillable . He said yes it is refillable. I drank two cup of coffee and when I ask for the bill, the waiter asked me how many cup of coffee I had drank. I said two but I try to explain if that's matter since the coffee is refillable. He said if two, I will charge you two coffee but eventually he charge me for 1 coffee. This is a very displeasing experience. I don't know what is his intention. And the waiter could have pointed out to me that there is complementary coffee right outside. This is my first day at the hotel. On the second day, when I realised that there is a complimentary coffee outside the restaurant, the same waiter was manning the counter and he seemed embarrassed to see me there. Very awkward.
The location was fantastic and ideally located. A short walk across the bridge to central London. The receptions staffs was friendly and pleasant. The complimentary coffee and tea downstairs nearby the restaurant was very nice. The side tables nearby the restaurant was very comfy.

Czech RepublicWe waited exactly until 15:00 to get a room. Our room was not ready when we come to a room. The cleaning lady had just made the third bed and we didn't feel good waiting in the room for everything to be done due small space etc. It should have been prepared in advance. In addition, the greeting card was in a different name Breakfast: I waited 30 minutes before they brought breakfast the staff apologized that the restaurant was busy. Brealfast bufet is on the basic price include drinks and coffee. They charge £5 extra for Alá carte…
Really cozy modern hotel with perfect location Love design throught the hotel Staff - One word: Wow. We feel like home, perfect services. Breakfast was amazing. Especially Alá carte menu. Fast check-out
