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.).

Because I had to book the last room available it was rather expensive but I was given a suite that was excellent and I especially liked that they gave you filtered water in the room and again at Breakfast. I really appreciated the fact it was stored in glass so no microplastics in the water. I do not like the taste of London water so was thrilled to find it tasted wonderful - thank you King's Arms. I was also treated to my suitcase being taken up stairs to my room and once reception saw me on the way down stairs the next morning my case was carried down as well. These considerate touches were MUCH appreciated. The staff were very kind and lovely. Thank you all.

United KingdomRoom was small but as only me was fine. Not much space around the bed - room 7
The staff were very welcoming, breakfast chef even came out to speak with me and asked me to try his courgette fritters, yum! Location is ideal, I'm from this area and had a school reunion. The next day I reministed with a walk round bushy park and the palace.

United KingdomThe room was very warm , even with the cold fan running all night. There were thick cobwebs on the light fixture by our table at dinner, and around the windows and doors in the restaurant area. Asked for our steak to be cooked one rare, one medium-well done..both were rare.
We booked as next to gate for Hampton Court…unfortunately didn’t find out until in Hampton Court that the Lion Gate is no longer used and hasn’t been for four years. Luckily, it’s only a 10/15 min walk to main entrance. Staff were really friendly, bed was beyond comfortable, food was superb.

United StatesTheir website needs to reflect that the gate to Hampton Court Palace that is practically next door is no longer open. Parking and getting into and out of the parking spots was horrible. Don't take a car! Food was ok, not great. Breakfast was better than dinner.
Check-in staff was very friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. A decent size as well.
