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.).

AustraliaBreakfast not included. When paying A$400 per night, it wold have been good to have it included.
Room very comfortable. Location great. Unfortunately breakfast not included in our rate. We had breakfast on one morning, but found it incredibly expensive for what was available. This was the one downside to our stay at the Tower Hotel.

KenyaThe bathrooms and cupboards/drawers in the room require refurbishing.
The rooms I stayed in had stunning views. The breakfast spread was great! The hotel is pretty close to the train station, historic sites, restaurants, etc. And it is easy to get to the hotel from Heathrow airport. Great pictures inside the rooms.

United KingdomWe were not given notice that the tower bridge would be closing the night that we stayed for maintenance. Had to walk for miles to get back to hotel.
Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. The view of the bridge was amazing, breakfast was lovely and the guest relation team were really helpful with requests to make my husband’s birthday extra special. The hotel is in close proximity to many attractions. Great location.

IrelandHousekeeping came into our room at just gone 9am, they walked right in. They came again at 10 & again before 11 as I was getting changed. No knock or anything. I was not impressed with that.
It’s gorgeous with stunning views of Tower Bridge. We stayed there for Abba Voyage & it was so handy. You get the DLR from Tower Gateway which is less than 5 mins from the hotel. I’ve been to London many times but never stayed in that area so it was lovely for a change. The reception staff & concierge were all very friendly & helpful

United States2 of the table lamps in the room didn’t work, the switches were broken. Lovely towels but no washcloths.
Location was excellent, short walk to restaurants, Tower bridge and Tower of London, and hop on bus stop. Very nice views of the marina from the room, (couldn’t get a river front room). Staff was friendly and helpful. I liked that there were two armchairs in the room.

United KingdomNothing it's a great hotel
Just returned back from our little 2 night stay , my husband and I have actually stayed at this hotel before couple yrs previously and chose this hotel again purely on location not to mention cheapest we could find in the area for dates we wanted . Walking in its a grand foyer area with all the marble , lovely clean fresh smell which I remember from last time , we were lucky enough to have a room with a fantastic view right infront of Tower Bridge, the rooms are lovely and spacious though little dated odd mark on the wall here n there but very clean , the bed was so comfortable and huge , again bathroom was clean with bath and shower which was really good water pressure on the shower. The staff for room service were all friendly n polite so credit to the hotel for lovely cleaners, we must of met / passed by about 8 of them and they all spoke good morning and smiles . There's little kettle and tea/ coffee in the room which is topped up daily , a hair dryer and a huge TV We didn't actually eat at the hotel as there's plenty of restaurants near by and a little 24hr tesco just round the corner for daily paper, would definitely stay here again

United KingdomSome of the staff could have been better. When I arrived I had just stepped inside the entrance when a member of staff demanded that I use the self service check in and when I was attempting to put in my pin number I had to ask him not to watch me putting in my pin. At breakfast on the first morning I went to get something else to eat and when I got back to the table I discovered that my breakfast had been cleared away and someone else was sitting at the table. the second morning I left a note telling them I had not finished. Housekeeping forgot to leave milk in the room but got some for me very promptly.
The room was very nicely presented , the view could have been better but it wasn't too bad. breakfast was very good food wise and there was plenty of choice. The concierge was very friendly and helpful.
