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.).

United KingdomNothing not to like.
The stay was fabulous, location, cleanliness, lovely studio with everything you need and more. Lots of lovely personal touches. Clear instructions to access the property and ability to be contacted and contact the Bob team was great too. Really excellent value for money with walking distance to Tower Bridge, sights and transport links.

FranceThe downside of our apartment in particular was the fact that the window let in a cold draft and a lot of noise, with the bed sandwiched against the window one of us had to sleep against the cold draft. Initially I thought it was maybe not closed properly but the (very responsive) staff checked it out and there was nothing to be done. The apartment was also very small, it seemed bigger in the pictures. I can’t decide if the yoga mat that was provided was meant to be an amenity or a challenge.
I booked this property because of it’s good value and excellent reviews. On the positive side, the apartment features a lot of thoughtful touches such as adapters and charging cables, a fully equipped kitchen, coffee and tea, dish towels, computer games, a big TV you can stream to, excellent wifi, and overall is very stylish.

Czech RepublicThe floor in the room was quite cold, in the bathroom especially. I turned on AC in the room but it didn't help much with a floor. There's a railway just in front of the hotel and for some the noise could be a problem. However, the hotel provides earplugs and for me it wasn't a big issue. I wanted to charge my laptop but there was no adapter with a correct socket plug.
Apartment had everything you might need: tea, coffee, kitchen utensils etc. Very clean. Good communication via WhatsApp. Polaroid in the room, so you could take some photos. It's a cute detail :)

United KingdomThere was a bit of train noise but ear plugs had thoughtfully been provided for those who are easily woken.
The location was ideal for my meeting the following day. The apartment was very well equipped, clean, comfortable and tidy and close to several eating establishments. Although not large, the apartment was very well designed for an accommodation-only stay for a few nights. The customer care was exceptional with far more contact via messaging than I have experienced elsewhere, including checks to ensure that everything was alright once I arrived.

United KingdomI found the bed quite low (especially for an accessible room) and didn't like the barrier right against the side of the bed - it meant one person(me!) had to kinda backwards shuffle into bed ! Fine for some people but not for us! No USB sockets, so make sure to bring your own. There is tea & coffee available but no milk, so you need to go to local tesco on your way unless you want to go back out again ! (None of these are deal breakers for us & have already fed back to Bob w , just popping on here for info for other bookers 😊)
Communication & responses were exceptionally quick & helpful. Secure luggage storage available all day on arrival & Departure day. Excellent proximity to tower bridge . We definitely recommend booking this , in advance for the 9.30 slot if possible. Allow 20-30 min.walk to take in the area en route then 1.5 hours for the attraction (we've included our pics!) Excellent laundry facility with extra stocks of tea/extension leads/ sewing kit - all sorts ! And was kept fully stocked. Kitchen area in the apartment had everything needed for short stay to make breakfast/snacks, all easy to use & had basics such as dishwasher tablets, clots, teatowel Quirky extras such as the tote bag & loan of camera (great fun, see image) & water bottle were very nice. Apartment very clean, bed & pillows super comfy & the ability to control temperature was great. We found it very quiet (the train noises were minimal & did not affect us one bit) I'm generally not a good sleeper but slept really well here. 😴
