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 heat was shut off part of the day & part of the night. The room was mostly cold as the small radiator could not keep up even when the heat was on. I slept with a comforter/duvet and an additional blanket. No elevators in this building with narrow flights of stairs. The hot water was not always available. Either the boiler had turned off or it cooled off coming thru the pipes to the 3rd floor.
The check-in staff were wonderful when I needed to extend my reservation several days in a row due to my partner being hospitalized. They always managed to find me a room. They even took my bag up 3 flights of stairs to my room. The location was excellent & only a short walk to StMary’s Hospital & Paddington Train Station.there were many small markets & restaurant. Thr breakfast & breakfast staff were great.

UKNo elevator and too many stairs for Most of the rooms. The room was too warm, had no AC, had small spaces, and rooms need to be upgraded.
Great location next to the train station, staff was great and good service at breakfast. Early check inn and they save your luggage before check inn and after check out.

United StatesThis hotel is an experience that you’ll complain about for a couple of months then the rest of your life you’ll laugh about the experience. If you are a high maintenance person you won’t be happy. But if you are the average tourist on a budget you learn to compromise.
Breakfast was very good, but a little rushed. Front desk gentleman from Albania was fabulous The room was in the basement over a few subway tracks. All steps were steep Towels were purchased used from an auto detailer Location was in a great location

Then breakfast was very good. The chap at reception was extremely helpful when I asked for directions to the Royal Albert Hall and suggested the tube rather than walk which saved us a lot of trouble.
