How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Rooms need renovation. Most annoying was the lack of heating although temperature was low especially during the morning hours. Due to what is mentioned before price is considerd high.
It is quite an honest stay, the room was bigger in comperison to other London similar category hotels and the bed comfortable. Location is convenient if you want to stay in this part of the city and in walking distance to the tube. Communication went well.

Room layout made no sense, wardrobe was angled by the en suite door so had to turn yourself to get through the door.. tv on wall was one side, bed another, so couldnt actually see tv from bed, so had to move bed to be infront of tv.. when going for the toilet the radiator is right next to your leg so you either stand/sit to the side or burn your leg when you go toilet.. the cold tap needs turning so much to come on that if you turned it anymore youd turn back time.. the shower was powerful and decent but kept flopping to the side.. When booking, lunch and dinner was mentioned in the description but nothing mentioned when checking in.
Friendly staff.. room was clean.. plenty of shops around.. good tube access.. the room done its job.

the only thing we could complain about was the toilet seat being broken was it wasn’t enough to ruin our stay. you get what you pay for in the end and for a cheap hotel we had a nice stay
we loved the location, it was a short walk away from the tube station and had lots of food options nearby

Room was a little dirty, lots of hairs and dust. The shower, although a great temperature, didn’t work properly either. The room also faced the main road, which meant the noise of people out and about on the street kept me up until 5am. Appreciate this is beyond the hotel’s control, but something to bear in mind when staying over the weekend.
Bed was comfortable and the hotel was in close proximity to the tube station.

Some male guest stay up outside in the beer garden which was directly below my bedroom & were so loud for ages. Finally @ 1.15 am I yelled out of the bedroom window that I had had enough of them & their blooming noise…. They did disperse fairly smartly possibly judging by my tone, they had little alternative!? However, up until that point I had no idea that a VERY noisy generator kicked off literally every 30 minutes throughout the night!! To be fair, I got somewhere safe to stay overnight & to park my 🚙 which was a plus & the staff were awesome & so kind!!
Didn’t eat in … The staff were extremely helpful Free parking was a huge benefit

Lack of kettle.
The room was basic but extremely clean, and I've worked in hotel housekeeping for a few years, so I know clean when I see it. It was noisy, despite double glazing, but that's a price you pay for being close to facilities. My 7 year old slept soundly through the noise. The location was excellent. Right next to a bus stop that takes you to Victoria, and 5 minutes from the tube. There's a Tesco Express across the road, which I loved. There are also many fast food places on the road outside. The beds looked quite basic, but were very comfortable, including for a bad back. The shower was a little small, but you get used to it. I have to say that there was one thing that really ruined my stay. The room did not have a kettle, or any cups, not even a tumbler. I brought tea bags, having read some reviews about lack of them, but no. Every day I had to drink warm pop for breakfast at 8am before I could have a shower and leave by about 10am and have a cup of tea. This is the one thing that would stop me recommending the otherwise nice hotel.
