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.).

NetherlandsLate room cleaning around 5.30pm, when we were back in the room. Cleaning of the elevators (inside doors were very dirty during our stay)
Nice hotel in the South Kensington area with lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. Gloucester subway station on walking distance (100m). Spacious room, nice double bed and clean bathroom. Staff is very friendly and helpful during the check-in and check out. Suitcases were stored due to our early arrival. Great breakfast around the corner (Steak & Company) if you're not using the breakfast at the hotel.

IrelandRoom was very small for a family of 4. Don’t know if we actually got the Deluxe Family room upon check-in. For all the time we spent in it it was okay. Full price for childrens breakfast was disappointing.
Location was great being adjacent to the Tube station. Breakfast was not included but we paid separately for it. It was fine with plenty of choice.

SwitzerlandThe silicone joints at the windows need a bit of attention.
First time I am completely(!) satisfied with the staff at the GM. Perfect welcome at the reception desk (what an improvement!), efficient housekeeping, fast and reliable facility management and perfect hosts at the morning breakfast feast! My special thanks go to Kavita, an efficient and effective manager with an eye for her staff and her guests, and her team.

EcuadorOn our first night, got stuck in the elevator #9 with my family and 3 other guests. We rang the emergency button but got no answer. My husband called the front desk from his cell phone and another lady called emergency services. The elevator started bouncing repeatedly at which point we all got very worried and my 7-year old son started crying. Then suddenly it started going up and the doors opened randomly at floor 8. We went down to complain to the hotel manager and he dismissed it very quickly giving us 3 vouchers for free drinks (good for beer or house wine). Did not get any other apologies from the hotel. Cleaning of the room was not done properly. My kids had a snack one day before the room was cleaned and when we came back at night, there were still crumbs on the table and on the carpet. The used cups were never replaced. The tissue box in the bathroom was empty when we arrived and was never replaced during our stay. Had to queue for 10 minutes to get to the breakfast room.
Great location, underground station next door. Nice area with lots of restaurants around. Parking was available in the same building. The room was comfortable but has seen better days.

IrelandWe were told we were 'upgraded' but were put in a fairly bog standard room the same as the last time we had stayed there. Not an issue but I wonder do they tell everyone they've been upgraded to make you think you're getting special treatment. Room is very dark, minimal lights/lamps so hard to do makeup etc.
Location is 10/10 - right next to Gloucester Road tube station. Easy check in process. Room was clean, nice bathroom, comfy beds.

United KingdomUnfortunately some of the room needed updating especially in the bathroom. My room had no heating so they provided a convector heater. Some of the residents were noisy which has never happened on previous stays
The staff were great and the hotel was cleaned regularly. The food was good and the rooms were spacious.

IrelandPrevious guests had spilled something in our room on a glass surface, it was something we spotted immediately on arrival. Nothing to get in a knot over but a wipe down would have fixed this. Bar/waiting staff were a bit aloof and not interested in taking drink orders or settling the bill. We opted to have a drink in the Bailey instead.
The location is really good for access to the underground and facilities nearby. The beds were comfortable and all linen was spotless. Aside from the couple of small negatives, definitely worth it and would recommend it to stay in.
