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 KingdomI wasn’t too keen on only having a skylight window, but we weren’t spending a lot of time in the room, so it wasn’t too much of an issue. Very little hanging space. No full length mirror. Dressing table/desk mirror not fixed to the wall so unable to see in it when sat at the table. Poor lighting at the end of the room without the skylight. The room wasn’t terribly clean.
Good location. Short walk from the nearest tube station and also not far to walk from Waterloo station. Very friendly staff. The one staff member we met when we checked in seemed to be doing a lot considering he was on his own. Spacious room. Large towels. Coffee machine, with plenty of tea/coffee available. Chilled water and fresh milk available. It was useful to have a small fridge in the room too.

United KingdomThere was moisture in the room, which could be related to the location, and it may affect the quality of sleep for some people. It did not affect mine, but my friend was thinking it affected her.
The room was big, and the bedding was very comfy and clean. The bathroom was very clean. There was a coffee machine in the room. The heating system was working well.

BelgiumNothing we did not like, but perhaps just a pointer for prospective guests: on weekdays, the pub opens at 3pm, so if, like we, you arrive in London in the morning and want to drop your luggage straight away and then head out to visit the city, it might be best to message the property beforehand to agree on a time. We were lucky to find someone in the pub when we got there around lunch, but I'm not sure if that's always guaranteed :-) Another pointer might be that the pub is in a relatively quiet area, so allow for some 15-30' to get to any place of interest. We were very happy with
Warm welcome, friendly staff. Lovely, spacious room. A minor problem with the bath tub was resolved immediately. The pub is really nice and serves fabulous home-made pizzas! The pub doesn't offer breakfast, but staff can advise nearby cafés, AND there's coffee and tea in the room for those who prefer to have a quick bite in the morning before heading out. Various buses stop almost in front of the pub to take you to anywhere you want in London (N3, 59, 159 being the most important ones, taking you to Victoria, Aldwych and Westminter directly) and there are 2 tube stations 10-15' walking distance from the pub.

Convenient for our end of term ‘gig’ at the Ship. Clean & welcoming. Food in the pub (we had a vegan pizza!) was excellent. The room was really worthwhile to book.

United KingdomWe were on the first floor above the pub, so it was noisy due to the music coming up through the floor.
The room was lovely and big, with a nice bathroom. The bed was comfy. We loved the coffee machine with lots of coffee pods and the jar of sweets. The pub downstairs was nice and all the staff very friendly.

ItalyThe last night I had to go downstairs at midnight about to say to the pub owners to low the volume of the music, it was too high. I was surprised to see that nobody, staff aside was in the pub, so no meaning of keeping that volume so high. Also the fact that they don’t clean your room if you don’t stay at least 3 nights.

IrelandDue to being on a main road, there was a fairly frequent stream of sirens passing by every once in awhile. Wasn't a huge issue for us as we're quite heavy sleepers.
Lovely staff and really liked the access to such a nice, cosy pub downstairs. The room was clean and great facilities available. Comfy bed and the location was in a good area with nice local pubs, and within walking distance to the London eye and other cafes.

United KingdomUnfortunately our shower wasn't draining properly, any longer than 5 minutes & bathroom would've been flooded. We did leave a note & hopefully this has been resolved. There was some live music on 2nd night in bar that went on pretty late, meant listening to tv in room distracting & made going to sleep harder. If it had finished at 11pm it wouldn't have been as much of an issue for us.
I would happily book to stay here again. Friendly staff, easy check in, super comfy bed, big room & bonus with lovely pizza pub downstairs & easy walking distance into Westminster.

BelgiumWe had a very cosy room, although we only had a small window in the roof to let in daylight, which made it feel rather dark and confined, and which was not visible on the available photos. But not a dealbreaker at all, would still highly recommend!
Great atmosphere, food and drinks and really nice staff at the pub, which makes it feel like coming home from our daytrips.
