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 StatesThe halls were full of cleaning supplies / fans and the rooms across the hall were probably wet / mildewy which wasn't a great situation. The room was fairly large, but the layout was strange - no bed-side table, strange shower design.
Location excellent. Quiet, especially considering how central it is. Great shared space in the restaurant/cafe downstairs. Wifi was strong. Comfortable bed and blackout blinds.

NorwayI had a room in the basement and hearing the train from underground was possible, so it wasn't easy to sleep at night. That was a problem with the check-in system when I arrived, I was in a hurry but needed to wait almost 40 minutes. Other guests as well. We were treated to free coffee and tea, but for such a delay we should be getting a free breakfast for example.
Great location, near to the bus and tube. Good breakfast and nice that is possible to order something to eat quite late as well. Comfortable bed.

Second time staying at the hotel, chose a standard room with no window, which makes no difference as they have aircon if you get hot. Bit pricy as I think something was happening in Shoreditch. But room was clean, bed was comfy and the shower was nice and hot after a long day at work! Would definitely stay here again as it is close to the office as well.

Great location, very near to my work place. Queen Room was a decent size for London, and for 1 person. Room was clean, bed was comfy and the shower was nice and hot just want I needed after a long day at work. I have stayed here again and definitely would recommend staying here if you are visiting Shoreditch. This room had a window, but second time I stayed I opted for no window, and it didn't make a difference, as long as the aircon was working because I get too hot. Staff we friendly too and helpful.

United Arab EmiratesThe room was very small! The width of the room was the double bed which meant I could not walk around the bed and felt very cramped. Considering I was staying for 1 week and I booked months in advance it would of been nice to have been given a slightly larger room. As the room was small the bathroom was also very small
Great location near the tube station with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby

NetherlandsThe room is ridiculously small. The sink in the bathroom is tiny, you also almost hit your head on the panel on the right when brushing your teeth. Although, I booked a room with a window, in fact it was more like tinted narrow glass that couldn’t be opened.
