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 KingdomThe rooms are small and only just about fitting the bed so don’t expect to have much space to relax.
Location is everything and this place is so well placed to the tube and key road routes, and it delivers a value alternative to other properties locally. I’ll be staying again.

United KingdomThe bed was very firm, which doesn't suit a side-sleeper like me, and also very warm. The AC unit struggled to keep the temperature down and would cut out during the night and have to be re-started manually.
The location right next to Old St roundabout is excellent. The room is just big enough for a bed and bathroom, and little else.

United KingdomThe room was definitely small, only really for sleeping and showering. But if you need somewhere comfortable to sit the coffee bar downstairs is good.
Staff were really friendly, the coffee area downstairs was great. Location is amazing, loads of transport links right outside. Generally good value for a London Hotel.

United KingdomWe found the room too hot and air con lowest setting was 18. Upper mattress (family room) had roll together so was not comfortable. Very hard to get to tea/coffee area - hit head on stairs several times. Would have been better near shower wall then could double up as desk. Ideal for a night, would struggle to stay longer than 2.
Breakfast was lovely, hotel staff very friendly. Free cheese & wine event the night before was a lovely surprise. Large shower, nice toiletries. Clean room with fluffy towels. Two very large TVs and good range of free hot drinks, bottled water on hospitality tray. Great location, 2 mins from station.

United StatesOn second visit here, I was given a room in the basement, lower level. I didn’t like as much. It smells, almost sewer smell, and you hear the underground trains. Get a room in higher level. Most rooms don’t have windows.
Great location and friendly staff. Modern facilities. Efficient. Clean.

United KingdomHaving booked several queen rooms with a window, we were disappointed that one of the rooms had a massive steel pillar running through it, massively reducing the amount of space compared to the others. The person staying in this room, was staying for several nights versus the rest of the team and the window was tiny in comparison to the others meaning no natural light. I would've expected this room to be much cheaper. We understand the sound of the underground but the rooms aren't well sound insulated so we were kept up throughout the night hearing people in other rooms.
Location and cleanliness was great. Modern and accessible.
