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.).

IrelandThe air conditioning didn't seem to be very effective but it wasn't a big deal as it was only April and not particularly warm
Great location near St Paul's cathedral. Easy walk to many tube stations and a lovely walk over the bridge to the Tate Modern. The Room was big by London standards and even had a kitchenette. Bright and clean and with a comfy bed. There was an iron and ironing board available which is great before going to a meeting after a long journey.

ItalyIt looks like the hotel was recently renovated and had a strong smell of chemicals outside of the room, I'm not sure if it was something on the carpet or just the paint/ wall paper. It was only in the corridors, so not much of a problem. Have that in mind in case you are allergic.
The location is central, but not super busy. The rooms are brand new, with comfortable beds, and great showers. The lighting is well designed, with comfortable scenarios, master off near the bed, and subtle details appreciated by architects. Because of the location, I decided to have breakfast outside of the hotel, which was great since there are many options right across the street.

United KingdomI hadn't realised the hotel is being refurbished and the Club Lounge was really small (although the complimentary drinks were really appreciated!) I am sure it will be brilliant once the original lounge is available again.
I was in one of the refurbished rooms and my room was lovely. The decor is really tasteful and the bed was very comfortable. A really nice stay.

United Kingdom£50 additional deposit held from check-in until 2 days after check-out. Not sure why this is necessary. Don't see the point of automated check-in if reception staff need to be there to guide you through it anyway. Never received room number text. Another guest knocked on our door looking for someone else. Staff must have knocked on someone else's door with our requested tea supplies because they definitely didn't knock on ours. Need a small window that opens to allow fresh air in. Room quite small for cost - paying for the location.
Good stay overall. Amazing location. Nice building. Friendly reception staff. Clean, comfortable room with good bathroom facilities and great TV. Wonderful little tea/coffee unit.

FranceLots of tour buses right outside the door so if your room is on the street side then it is noisy, you do get approached on a regular basis about taking these tours, after a couple of days it is tiring on saying 'no thank you'.

SlovakiaThe hotel blocked the amount of 367.56 euros on the card on departure - I don't know why? They did not respond to my messages regarding the blocked amount, they released the amount after 7 days. It made my overall stay feeling uncomfortable. In one of the rooms we had booked it was very cold, the heating was not working, a technician came to look at it, said it was Ok and left. It didn't work.It was very cold in the room There was no extra bed ready on arrival, there were no towels in the room, After reporting, they prepared the bed and towels
Excellent location, possibility to replenish water in the corridor, We were allowed to stay early.

United KingdomSince this was not the first time we had been to the hotel, the room this time was quite small compared with the previous time. It has the minifridge, as needed, but I missed the sink from the last studio-style room we'd got.
It is an excellent hotel because it is really pet friendly. This time, they had a door sign to encourage the staff to knock on the door before attempting to enter due to the room having four-paw guests. I think that was adorable, and it was a great addition to the service. Usually, I keep the "don't disturb" door sign on to make sure nobody will enter the room to not disturb my cat. The shower products are very good. The staff are really nice and helpful.

MauritiusNothing comes to mind. Perhaps getting me to pay £12 for posting my charger (which I had forgotten in the room upon checking out) could have been done as a gesture or goodwill especially as I was a first time guest.
Location, proximity to St Pauls, the City, LSE, the river, ThamesLink, access to tube and Elizabeth Line, restaurants and bars. Helpful staff. They pointed me to the business lounge and offered coffee etc when I reached the hotel early. The hotel promptly sent me my charger after i left it behind

United KingdomWe were given an accessible room with a walk-in shower as opposed to bath/shower and bathroom floor became very wet as small tile ridge did not stop water from spreading - and shower ran cold for 5 minutes before warmer water eventually came through.
Location great, very close to St Paul's and accessible for travel arrangements, staff friendly, have stayed here on previous visits to London.
