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 KingdomFor a 5 star hotel there wasn't a 5 star feeling. The room was comfortable but very average. I paid for access to the spa. Upon arrival we were asked if we were "members" we told them we were guests of the hotel and were told we could have 30 minutes max access. There was nobody in the spa. I wasn't expecting to be timed after paying an additional amount to access the spa.
The hotel overall was beautiful, welcomed in by the friendly staff. It was busy in the bar area as we arrived in the late afternoon. The comfy room and location were perfect for our needs. The breakfast was delicious!

United KingdomThere was no shower gel in the shower. We left a note asking for it to be replaced when cleaned but this wasn’t done until the evening turn back. I also corresponded with the hotel about a little something to acknowledge my dad’s birthday which was overlooked. Again none of these were major issues and they didn’t detract from the stay but they were small factors.
Great door staff and reception super friendly and welcoming.

AustraliaThe clocks changed that night, and we weren't aware. Other hotels I have stayed in have made guests aware either upon check-in or with a note in the room. That would've been helpful for two overseas travellers. I am coeliac and when we came down for breakfast, I was told there was nothing to eat. There was yoghurt and a few other bits and pieces but not really the greeting I wanted from a hotel that considers itself 5*. The dining staff seemed uninterested in helping me find something to eat which wad disappointing.
We chose it specifically for the location, which was great. The first room we were given smelt funny. We left the windows open when we left the room but when that didn't help, rang the front desk who immediately found us another room.

United KingdomWe asked for an early check in as it was my boyfriends birthday, called the hotel at 10.00am and was told they couldn't guarantee anything, when I arrived at the hotel I was told the room had been ready for ages and that I could of come earlier so that was slightly disappointing. However, the room had been decorated so that was a lovely touch.

GermanyCarpet was worn and a bit dirty. Sofa cover was ripped at the edges. Hand wash in the bathroom was empty when I checked in and was only replaced the next day. I am normally not overly fussy when it comes to those things, but from a hotel that prides itself as a 5 star and for the price I am expecting near perfection. I'd stay here again though!
Excellent location for my transportation needs about a 5 mins walk to Liverpool Street Station. Large, quiet room with comfy king bed, free water, excellent WiFi, Nespresso machine and kettle. Slippers and ropes. Very courteous staff. I did not have enough time to use the facilities, the spa or the bar and restaurants. So I cannot comment on that.
