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 KingdomOur room was at the side of the property above the platforms of Charing Cross station so the rumble of trains was a bit annoying at night.
The location is excellent for central London. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean.

United KingdomBreakfast - the only little disappointment. We sat in the 'overflow' room which was ok (not special like the grand room) but the hot breakfast was not hot. It was only just warm.
Location - spot on. We could walk to all major London sights. Room - we were in the older part of the hotel, across the footbridge, but didn't mind at all. Loved the complimentary items Hotel - stunning inside and smells lush! Staff - everyone we met was super friendly

United KingdomNothing that I didn't like, but an addition that would be an improvement for females, would be a magnifying mirror in every bathroom for easy application of makeup. It would also be beneficial for men when shaving.
The location, the ambiance, the comfotable bed, but most of all the delightful, helpful, cheerful staff.

United KingdomWe didn't have a view, which was a bit of a shame as we ended up on the 6th floor so was expecting great views. Breakfast on the first morning was a bit lacking - what was there was a bit old and stale and by the time they brought out fresh, my friend had finished what she was having as it seemed to take a while, but second morning was absolutely fine, so maybe it was just a blip and we turned up at the wrong time when everything had run out or had sat for a while.
Great hotel, in a great location, close and central to Covent Garden, theatre land and tube stations literally on the doorstep. Room was large with a coffee machine, complimentary Nespresso capsules, Diet Coke, Coke, bottles of water, crisps and sweets. Bathroom was a good size with a walk in shower which was larger than most I have seen! Staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful.

United StatesNot that it was expected, just would have been nice to have been able to get into our room earlier, seeing as we arrived around 9 am and were exhausted from flying overnight. Maybe they can offer that feature...for a fee of course!
This is a lovely hotel. We knew 2 other people who have stayed here and enjoyed it so we felt confident that it would be a nice place and it is. Loved being near the gardens: Embankment and Whitehall. Loved being near to so many other sites and shopping and restaurants and the underground and train. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was very nice. Really enjoyed our visit.
