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...).

NetherlandsRoom too warm, even when I had the thermostat on 0. The mattrass had a lot of dust on the headboard side (topper was smaller so I had a clear view), so not sure if they clean it properly. Upon check in the front desk told me that I still had to pay for my room, while it was already paid up front. I showed them the payment receipt and he said he still couldn't find it. After some help from his colleagues he said that he had to check the booking.com system where he could see it was paid. The next day around 10 pm I received a message on whatsapp (!!) that I still had to pay for my room. I really don't appreciate this and your staff needs to be trained and/or communicate better with each other.

The BEST location of this Ibis around the corner from Aldgate East tube station and 10 mins walk to Spitalfields/ Shoreditch. Tesco express next door if you needed any extras. Hotel clean, felt safe, staff very friendly. Bed comfy, window opens slightly enough to get air in but the air con system didn't seem to work?

RomaniaI tried to change one room from Double to Twin. I was asked to call Booking, Booking called the property, then called me back and asked 150 £ extra vs my initial price. I refused to pay for it and I canceled one of the 5 rooms I booked ( the last day with free cancellation). One day later, I got a message from the property that I could upgrade with only 30£, but it was too late, as the room was already canceled. So, nothing could be done. I called many times the customer service, but no support from their side. Even my last messages on Booking have no answer.
The hotel was nice and clean, situated in a good area, close to Tower Bridge. The breakfast was good.
