Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomBreakfast was just ok. However, they wanted to charge me an extra £5 to have the cooked option: I had already paid for breakfast and found this an unnecessary method of trying to get even more money out of their guests. The property is very tired, decoration wise and absolutely no effort has been put into making the outside back yard usable for the guests - my window looked out onto this and it was a dump; clearly no one takes any care of it.
Conveniently located hotel in Bloomsbury. Spacious room - I did pay a lot more for a bigger room, mind you. Staff were pleasant enough, without going that extra mile to make my stay better.

United KingdomNo significant issues. The hotel fitted its star rating and was very good value for the price paid.
Good central location in the Bloomsbury area, adjacent to the Britsh Museum and with restaurants nearby. Bus stops and Underground stations within walking distance. The street was quiet; no problem with noise at both the front and the rear of the hotel. Very good breakfast with plenty of choice for a continental breakfast, with hot dishes avilable to order. Friendly, welcoming staff attentive to all aspects of service. We were upgraded to Executive rooms and enjoyed the extra space.

United KingdomWe didn't get the room booked and when we asked we were told there were no other rooms. Our room was in the basement with the laundry room and all the staff congregating and chatting there. We had no view but everyone on the street could look into our room. Genius level at Booking.com not as advertised.
The location was good for our visit.

United KingdomWas quite noisy out the front, but then I live in a very quiet area. Beware that the bed is hard, a topper wouldn’t go amiss at all. Breakfast was included in the price and apparently only meant continental! Breakfast is breakfast in my world unless the description states otherwise.
Great location. Staff were very helpful. Nice sized rooms with a large bed and a good shower. Good air con too the room wasn’t baking hot.

United KingdomA thicker better quality topper on the bed in room 104 would undoubtedly make it a much more comfortable stay.
We liked the hotel generally. Very clean with a good bathroom and the location was perfect for us. However, we have marked it down on 'comfort' as, although we prefer a firm mattress, the bed in room 104 was bordering on hard, with a super thin topper/protector.
