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 KingdomThe bathroom window isn't well isolated, so the bathroom was quite cold. When I returned to the Hotel after on my 2nd day after work, my access card wasn't working, which isn't the smoothest experience (although the helpful staff sorted the issue very quickly). Not sure how I feel about a room located at the lower ground floor...
Lovely design, welcoming staff. Got an upgrade to a twin room upon arrival, so I had a spacious room to enjoy. The location is perfect for my needs :)

United KingdomI made the booking late in the day & was allocated a LG room. The bright light shining directly in the room, apparently emergency lighting, needs a rethink in the absence of curtains / blinds which fully cover the window. Would stay again but would make enquiries about room location to avoid this room…
Newly refurbished, bright welcoming reception area.

AustraliaWe were initially given a lower ground floor room, which was actually very clean and a reasonable size, but when I told the staff I wasn't keen on the location they immediately offered to move us. The room they gave us was barely big enough to get our bags in and nowhere to plug in my partner's medical device at night. So staff again were very helpful and moved us to a larger room immediately. All in all the hotel was great once we overcame the initial minor issues.
The hotel was in a great location about 3 minutes walk to Earls Court tube and pubs and restaurants. And so easy to get anywhere in London. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were very clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our needs which included initial problems with room size and location. But I realise it is London and very small rooms can be an issue. The rooms were serviced daily which was a bonus. I cannot fault the hotel's location, cleanliness and helpful and friendly staff ! I would stay there again.

United KingdomThe room was very small - we were told the rooms downstairs were bigger but according to the photos on booking.com this was not the case. I’m small and the showers screen scraped on my body as we shut it! Only not much room at either side of the bed. Other rooms had a chair at the desk in ours there wasn’t enough room for this.
It was very clean and the bed was comfortable- liked the location. I have mobility issues so being close to the tube was great.

GreeceThe only issue I had with my experience was that the room wasn't very soundproof. There had been cases where I would wake up in the middle of the night from the sound of someone walking in the corridor.
I've been staying in that area quite frequently the last year for my business trips. Mornington Kensington has been the best experience so far. Room was very clean and modern. Breakfast was great

United KingdomMy only grumble is the placement of the plug sockets. We were provided means of making tea and coffee which was great. However…. The plug sockets are located on one side of the room. Opposite to the tea and coffee making facilities so we had to move it. No big problem there. But… the plug sockets were located about a fixed desk which meant you could not plug anything into them as the desk top was in the way. The only other plug available was underneath the desk which meant the tea making unit had to be placed on the floor underneath the desk to even boil the kettle.
Beautiful hotel very close to the underground and a very close walk to so many amenities. Staff were exceptionally friendly and the hotel was sleek and well cleaned.

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).
