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.).

Bathroom with its 'smart' taps is infuriating. Bathroom ceiling was too low for me when stood in the bath for a shower (room 18) and I had to crouch somewhat uncomfortably!
Location is perfect for my requirements. Room was fine and fixtures/fittings whilst a little 'used' were adequate. Staff was friendly. Food quality was good although service for evening meal was a little slow. Wi-Fi speed was good.

The breakfast options were not readily accessible.. the menu suggested that pastries were available but in reality there was only one croissant and one pan de chocolate available by the time our group of 8 arrived down for breakfast. Also we had to ask for extra toast and the marmalade and butter had been put away before we had a chance to take . Disappointing really Also the leg of the side cupboard in our room ( room 8) fell off and the radio on top fell on my foot… not a problem but it was unexpected !
Very clean great location and very nice staff

Nothing really. I suppose as we have been a few time now we are reaching the limits of the menu. Maybe a specials board would be in order.
This is our third stay at the Alexander Pope. This time we were hear for my birthday. The room was very comfortable with a good view (I had opted for a room with a balcony). My son his wife and my grandson also had a room here. The room was well furnished, clean, good bedding and towels and a very nice bathroom and shower. There is a fully stocked mini bar in the room which of course you need to pay for if used. Food at this pub is always good, breakfast offerings are wide and there should be something to suit everyone. as allergies are catered for and vegan options to. The all-day menu is not that large but the food we had in the evenings was very tasty and good value for money. My wife had booked Sunday lunch for 10 of us which incuded children ages 2, 6 , 9 ,14. The staff were unbelievebly helpful and helped slice and serve up a massive cake I was bought, to help out. The Sunday roast itself was very nicely cooked and portions were good. Nothing was too much trouble It makes a great base for further exploration of London and its now our go to hotel when we visit family in Twickenham.

Quite close to Heathrow flightpath for aircraft noise, our room was in the roof so if your a light sleeper [Me] take some earbuds [My wife & daughter didn't hear anything 😴].
The hotel was great, our family room was huge. It felt very comfortable with everything you would need - Satellite TV / Minibar / Coffee Pod Machine, etc. Great location being close to the train station & Twickenham but still out of the way of the hustle & bustle.

When we first used the lift we did not know about having to use our room card to operate it. The roast potatoes with our evening meal were overdone. The rest of the meal was delicious.
Lovely hotel and room with a balcony and view.
