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 KingdomBed was rock solid (which some may like but I did not), housekeeping said they would put a mattress topper on it the bed, but it was just a mattress cover, so did nothing, but I appreciate they tried. TV did not connect to our phones, so we couldn't stream anything, which was a real shame as this was advertised. Rooms were not very soundproof, so we could hear our neighbours quite easily. Some plugs didn't work, there was not enough outlets by the bed (only on 1 side) and the one that did work was hanging out of the wall (wires exposed et cetera). I wasn't thrilled with the room as it cost me £800 for 2 nights (not including breakfast) but I booked it with a specific purpose in mind and it was above and beyond for that need (needed enough space for a stylist to come into the room and have enough space for her kit and to move around) and you're staying in central London so - it's going to be pricey.
Great location opposite a tube station and in the heart of Chelsea and Kensington. Starbucks is super close and a Waitrose is opposite the hotel. The room was spacious; I can't fault the size and the staff were super attentive and lovely. Had a few maintenance issues that were resolved very quickly. I booked it with a specific purpose in mind and it was above and beyond for that need (needing enough space for a stylist to come into the room and have enough space for her kit and to move around). The suite had a bathroom and shower both upstairs and downstairs, which was great and would be super useful for families. I raised the issues below to the staff and they were very helpful, gave us a free breakfast and drinks voucher (although I wasn't after freebies I just wanted the room to be sorted) so you will be very much looked after by the staff.

United KingdomWe were only in the hotel overnight and didn't have breakfast, which at £24 per person was somewhat expensive for a bowl of Cornflakes!! However, the room was clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel was convenient for us as we walked to High Street Kensington and the Royal Albert Hall. Having experienced other London hotels we thought it was a cut above others we've frequented.

MalaysiaRoom service staff were not pleasant. I had one member of the room service staff complain and sulk in front of me when my kids and I walked in the room while they were in the process of cleaning it. We ended up not getting our room cleaned the rest of our long stay to avoid triggering my anxiety... and upon check out, we realised my child's phone was missing and management wasn't very helpful despite the phone location showing that it was still within the hotel premises. Breakfast was also the same everyday. So definitely not coming back.
The price for the location get top marks for this hotel. The concierge and front desk task were also awesome.

CanadaThe staffs are not so well trained. The check in took long due to the debit machine, had to charge for more and wait for refund. The staff took the ice pack to freeze for us but ended up in the morning it’s still watery inside. Asked for some ice they said they don’t have any plastic bag to hold the ice. It’s brutal. The eye drops will definitely be bad after a long day of travel to another country. No one knows how to problem solve. So bad experience with the staff
Nice place, good location, nice room. But didn’t have a fridge in room, not convenience if I have medication need to be fridge.

United KingdomOver priced. Our room was £220 per night and the room had worn bald carpet. Tile was cracked badly in the entrance to room. Toilet door kept banging against the wall so had to close at all times. We also waited over 15 minutes to be checked in as there was only one lady at desk. We had been travelling all day flying from Denmark so just wanted to check in promptly as we had arrived earlier to leave luggage so they were aware we were due to check in.
Location was great. Lovely and clean entrance. Toilets were wonderful and clean. Concierge was so helpful and attentive. Lovely guy.
