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.).

SwitzerlandBathroom was a bit too close to the bed and not a lot of space in the room. The elevator was a bit tight (only space for two) and long to come so we mostly used the stairs to go down. Breakfast was not very organised although it was tasty -> we waited a long time after ordering and they arrived wrongly (and one forgotten).
Location was great, only few minutes walking distance to Earl's Court tube station. The room was clean and nice. Staff was helpful and kind. Lots of Caffè, restaurants (the best Italian restaurant we had in London), pubs and beauty salon (they did my nails amazingly).

NorwayI had some troubles with the bathroom sink, I was not able to get hot water out of it.
Very good location. 2 minute walk to the tube. Really pretty as well, newly renovated I think. The solo rooms are very small tho, but they definitely work.

NorwayThere was no heated floors in bathroom. It was a really cold floor in the winter and the water from the shower would stay on floor and no slippers either. The breakfast variety is far from Scandinavian standard. The placement of electric kettle was weird, because it was nowhere to plug it in. The usage of space in the very small room could have been done a bit better by designers, the was no space for luggage.
The hotel and the rooms were nicely renovated and the staff was pleasant, breakfast was tasty, location was good.

FinlandThe sink in the solo room was super small. When you wash your face, the whole bathroom is wet.
I had a one person room so as expected, it was small. However, the bed was super comfortable and the room was clean and stylish. The breakfast is really really good for London standards! Very good buffet with also lot of fresh options plus you can order warm meals from the kitchen (included in the price). There's also vegetarian options available. Very fresh and tasty breakfast! Hotel is very close to Earls Court metro station with an access to the airport and to the city center. Also nice pubs and restaurants close by, as well as shops.

United KingdomWe booked a deluxe room, which was supposed to be a king-size bed due to the special price with Booking.com- well, it wasn't the case, I'm afraid. It's a double bed. The room was not massive but not small either at least we had the balcony which was nice with few amenities. I guess thats what they mean by Deluxe 😒. Do not expect big rooms in this hotel. The building you can feel has been completely renovated and adapted with a modern feel. The sink of the room and I believe of many other rooms is absolutely awkward! I do believe is not very safe while you try brush your teeth etc... you could hit your head against the top side. So be careful folks!
The Location is perfect. The Hotel is very clean with a very modern decoration. The staff is friendly. The room is very clean with good facilities inside. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast we did not have it in the hotel but elsewhere, I can't give my opinion. Overall if you are staying for 1 night, it's absolutely fine, which was our case.

Excellent location and very nice and kind staff. But the rooms were too small. Also unfortunately the lift didn’t work so the receptionists suggested us to change room. We did this, but the room was still very small comparing them with other hotels in London.
