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 KingdomSituated in room 348, the air con didn't work. Expressed our concern to the reception and they stated that the air con only works in the summer and all heating across the hotel is on during winter, even though its spring. Then the TV wouldn't work. Rang down to reception, maintenance couldn't fix it. Moved to room 410 instead, the room had air conditioning even though we were originally told that all hotels in the uk don't have air con until summer.

United Kingdom1 min from tube and 15 mins from 5he royal Albert hall where we were going. Would also b3 excellent for the museums. Reasonable price for the area. Large entrance. Generous rooms and spotlessly clean. Stayed on room only basis so can’t comment on breakfast but plenty of independent cafes across the road. Only issue was lots of doors banging early 8n the morning but that isn’t the hotels fault…more to do with families and their children. Would definitely stay again.

Saudi ArabiaWe arrived at the hotel lobby early morning at around 6:30-7:00 am. The reception staff after fiddling for 5-7 min told us that our room is not there and was cancelled for no show. We had booked from previous day so that we get check -in when we arrive early morning and had written to booking.com 2 messages explaining that we have booked from previous date and that checkin should be available immediately upon arrival. The reception hotel staff told us that you wrote to booking.com and not to the hotel. This really put us off as they were trying to shrug off responsibilities of this cancellation. Anyway booking.com and the Hotel were at fault, however, the good thing is that the staff at the reception quickly realized this and told us to wait for 10 min, gave us breakfast coupons and in span of 15 min allocated an upgraded and good room due to the discomfort that we had. So that squared it off and we were pleased with that approach of the hotel and staff how they handled the situation. So thumbs up for that. Booking.com please be aware of this and don't bother your customers like this. If someone is paying one day ahead to have peace and quick check in, your site should not bother them with your bot replies and not understanding the issue. And for this we need a reply from you if you are really into customer service and our long standing multiple bookings that we have done over last 10 years from your site. If you need to connect for queries or validation, I am on +966505873857 for text or call.
The hotel staff were good. Hotel is good, rooms are nice, clean, comfy, area is good, safe, underground/tube is close, good connectivity, nearby Kensington area is upscale, got decent price for 5 nights that we booked. Breakfast was also okay okay. Next time will stay again here. Would request other guest also to chose this hotel for your trip to London Central.
