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 KingdomMy friend had a disturbed night due to noise. Hotel staff said they would investigate.
Tiny but well designed rooms. Comfy bed. Good quality bed linen. Spotlessly clean. Air con in rooms. Friendly, professional and very helpful staff. 5 min walk from Kings Cross. My room was very quiet and I would have given full marks but my friend had some noise in her room- perhaps from neighbours heating or air con..

United KingdomReception/Communal areas very small & limited, no toilet facilities for guests. Access to the property would be difficult for some due to the steps (did not see another option) No lifts either. Couldn’t see out of windows. No information in the room about the hotel. It has only been open for one month, they are still refurbishing.
Lovely room for one night, wouldn’t stay longer. Clean with good facilities, such as USB points, tea & coffee with biscuits. 20 minute walk from Euston.

GreeceThe hotel is under renovation so there is paint smell in all common areas. Also there is no wardrobe and the hungers are tiny for just 3-4 garments. For 3 people sharing a room this is not enough. Garbage bin very very tiny, no surface to hold your shampoo when in the shower.
Great location, big rooms, hot water, kind owners.

United KingdomNo complaints at all.
For the price and for being so central this is a great little place to know about. You wouldn’t spend hours in the room - they’re small rooms. But they’re cosy and comfortable and have everything you need as a bolt hole on a reasonable budget. Compared with what you get for double the price close by, this isn’t a bad call!
