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 KingdomI booked this hotel for my sister and brother-in-law as an anniversary gift. The pictures they have shown me are terrible. (I'm unable to upload them as they're on a camera and not local to me) I upgraded to a "luxury suite", no - still one room. The massive kitchen vent outside the window made it impossible to open the window as it was on 24/7. They didn't want breakfast so I can't comment. The staff were less than helpful and not at all cheery. The paperwork I printed off beforehand showed outdated information such as "you must provide photo ID on arrival", which my sister doesn't have, but wasn't asked for it by reception. That would have saved some worry. It was meant to be a romantic break for them, but they came back tired and weary from lack of sleep due to the noise. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all - but if you do book, don't have room 12!
The outside and the reception were inviting and clean. I'm afraid it stops there.

The location is good, the beds were fine and overall the facility was in good and clean state.

United KingdomThe bathroom was tiny, location was a fair walk away from the closet tube, the room itself was small, it was noisy and you heard every step in the room above and across the hall. No air conditioning so the room was very hot. The bedding was not changed and there was rubbish left in the bin from the previous resident and the sink was cracked in the bathroom. Not value for money at all.
The location was peaceful and staff were friendly.

United KingdomThey have a petty requirement of photo ID needed at check in. Ok if you are foreign, with a passport to hand but for anyone British just staying in London for a night one does not necessarily have photo ID available. Fortunately I did have my driving license but there seemed to be no budging on this and had I not had that, I couldn't have checked in which is pathetic.
Very convenient, very clean and comfortable but the room was tiny and was very hot in the heatwave. There was a fan fortunately but that was very loud. I couldn't have survived without it.

The sink wouldn’t drain and it could have been cleaner The breakfast is very very basic. The staff were not that friendly It was always my hotel of choice. I’ll look elsewhere in the future

United KingdomI would not say the facility and size of the room could be classified as 4 stars. Staff was not very warm I requested a crib and it wasn’t given to me due to the size of the room, but at a surcharge for a bigger room I could have had it. A bit disappointing. Breakfast staff very friendly and one of the male receptionist very helpful helped me with the buggy as, despite the lift to access the different floors, there are a few steps to access the main entrance which are not the easiest to access if you travel alone with infant/buggy.

United KingdomThe shower needs a curtain, not pleasant to have the whole bathroom flooded. As well as room was quite hot, since the window can be opened just a pinch, so would be good if anyone thought about ventilation. Also the hair dryer's plug was broken, not that I mind air drying my hair, but would have been handy.
Great location. And very affordable.

BelgiumMy room was loud. There was some support of fan or pipes that made intermittent but relatively constant noise all day and all night. I heard every conversation in the hallway. Staff seemed uninterested in helping at reception. I felt like I was interrupting their chat in the back room each time I approached. On the phone, they didn’t understand what I was asking (and I’m an English speaker). There is no luggage room, so to leave luggage you have to leave it accessible for anyone in the reception area. The reception area is crammed with luggage. There was little selection at breakfast.

United KingdomWe booked a standard double room which was small, no space for bedside cabinets, the bed was up against the wall. Little room for 2 people to pass each other. No air con but there was a fan in the room which was needed.
The location was excellent for restaurants, bars, tubes, Portobello Market. All within easy walking distance. The room was clean, bed very comfortable, good quality bedding and towels. The hotel is in a quiet location which is good for London. Continental breakfast was included - croissants, toast, choice of cold meats and cheese, yoghurts, cereals and fruit.
