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 KingdomA small point, but the shower screen isn't big enough - it seems impossible to have a shower without soaking the bathroom floor.
The two staff who checked us in were extremely pleasant and helpful. They also gave us a room upgrade, which was very nice.

GermanyDisliked · +Average food choices and tastes in a very nicely displayed breakfast buffet setting; some mishaps plus unavailabilities +Music unpleasantly loud during breakfast +The gym, anytime fitness, is not in the hotel but next door. The equipment is really dated, the place is overall dirty and unappealing, no windows, broken machines..I wouldn't mention it but since I booked a 5star hotel that offers training facility... well, this is really really bad. +Noise! 😣 next room right adjoining, paper thin walls, you hear everything as in people talking (even in normal voice), plus the doors are quit heavy and bang when automatically closing. // room 439/440
Liked · +excellent, engaged, quick thinking, skilful and most friendly staff in every department, thank you! +beautiful room, large windows, gorgeous park view as shown in photo +generous availability of thick towels robes etc., thank you! +quick & attentive room service: a shout out to Vyan, who lit up the room when she came! so much joy and kindness! +room service dinner came hot and was tasty; thank you!) +reasonable pricing for clothes pressing and quick service without express charge, thank you! +location is exceptional, Kensington park a dream 😍 +Food choices in the neighbourhood also terrific, like whole foods, Joe Juice (protein shakes), an Açai bowl place, great Italian across the street, Amorino gelato and so on..

United KingdomReception staff not efficient. No details for breakfast etc. Minimal support. No greeting from doorman on arrival or friendliness towards child. Bed not made up for child as requested in booking. (arrived after 8pm). Hallways and reception looking tired. No modern lounge area. Car park lift broken. EXTREMELY narrow spiral entrance to car park. Trashed alloys and apparently this is the norm.
Location, room & quality of catering. Lovely breakfast staff and room service team. Beautiful view across the park. Lovely large windows and immaculate bathrooms.

The location is excellent for both central and west London. Secure parking at a really good rate ( small cars are better with the spiral ramp) staff were super accommodating and helpful and did their best to find us the best room available at our rate.

United KingdomCannot think of anything. I would not normally pay the amount paid for a hotel but this was a special occasion. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
We were upgraded to a king size room from a classic which was a surprise. The location perfect for the Royal Albert Hall and lovely to be close to Kensington Gardens. The breakfast was really good with so much choice and variety of foods on offer. Also that you have an egg cooked and delivered to your table.

We had a room on the 10th floor with an excellent view over the palace and gardens. Also, we enjoyed the pizza late in the evening in the piano bar and the breakfast was very nice too. The car park was a bit tight with many turns and columns though.
