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.).

CanadaCleanliness of the hotel was great but rooms could use a refresh.
The staff at reception was very helpful. I can’t say enough about the reception service. Any questions we had regarding transportation or attractions were answered clearly and completely. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to Big Ben, Westminster, London Eye, etc, and many options for food and coffee. Also within 5 minutes of Lambeth North station.

United KingdomThe shower was not really a proper shower but just a shower attachment - hand held and it did only work when hand held as it would not work when positioned on the wall bracket. we were told it was because we hadnt changed a setting on the shower head but I really do not think this would have made any difference, having used many showers in the past, they could just do with a shower upgrade and then all facilities would be great. Liked being able to make a cup of tea in the lobby area when we arrived in from our evenings out.
Our room was located close to the lifts which you could hear when in use so would have preferred a room away from this as it did wake me up in the morning.

GermanyNot having a restaurant or fridge or microwave. When someone was hungry but we didn't want to have to go far or spend a lot of time, we had limited options from the grocery store since we couldn't heat up anything, etc.
The location was great - close to all the things we wanted to do in London and close to an underground station, restaurants, and little grocery stores. We got 2 rooms side by side for us and our older kids which was great. Two of the staff at the desk were great and helpful, one was not so much but we didn't see him a lot. Overall, the desk gentlemen were great. It was nice having the water downstairs to fill our water bottles and to get tea and coffee whenever. It would have been great to have a microwave and fridge in the room though, but there's not much space. The rooms were small but served their purpose as we were out most of the time exploring London. We'd definitely stay again.

ItalyNo breakfast service (was indicated in reservation phase, not a big deal but would have loved trying an English breakfast in the hotel). It took very long for the water in the shower to get hot.
Good staff, kind service. The hotel was clean, very convenient area, close to Lambeth North metro station and near to Waterloo station as well.
