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 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):
- 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.).

- • Stayed 1 night
Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable and we both woke up with back pain which impacted upon our enjoyment of the next day. We did not have breakfast so can't comment on their breakfast facilities but they only seemed to offer a breakfast bag rather than anything cooked or sit down kind of breakfast.
We only paid £42 for the night so were not expecting anything amazing for the price. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was clean and had towels, tv and tea and coffee so all the basic amenities were met. It is a few minutes walk from Bromley South train station and just off the high street so a good location. Good value for money.

- • Solo traveller
- • Family Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
Very little space to hang or store clothes, which was weird. Very uncomfortable pillows and some incredibly rude and pass-agg staff, particularly the female supervisor. I was shocked and genuinely upset by her strange attitude. Some other staff seemed very sweet, though all seemed a little undertrained and unsure, including the cleaner. I never saw anyone manning reception so avoid leaving your bags here if possible as they are on show without guard and anyone can wander in (and Bromley is known for its crime sadly). Whilst I was here two of my colleagues had to file police reports in the area for a stolen phone and slashed tyres, so I do feel this hotel could take security a little more seriously. It just seems like it could be run a little better compared to other Ibis B I’ve stayed in.
Excellent shower, good sized room, some friendly staff (sadly not the management). You couldn’t get any closer to Bromley town centre if you tried! Room temperature easily adjustable.

Location very close to all the shops. Plenty food places to choose from. NCP car park very close and only 6 pounds for 24hrs parking.

The plug hole in the bath (shower in our case) was blocked up so it was impossible to rinse our feet before exiting the shower. It would have been nice to have bottled water in the room. A drawer for the clothes would also be good.
Jessica went out of her way to make our stay great - we were very grateful to her. It was lovely to be able to get the radio on the television and then blank the screen! The room was a good temperature.
