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 KingdomAir con in room was very poor, during the night I had to open the window (lot's of passing traffic from outside flyover, not a pleasant view). I found the people in the room next to me very noisy as they had young children, not good when you have important meetings the next day. On arrival check-in was very busy and slow, I had a wait of around 20 mins to book in.
Room was clean, Check-out was quicker than checking in

Very nice staff, we had a really bad experience in London, and they gave us an upgrade which we really appreciated. We were also given free drinks vouchers.

United KingdomCheck in was 3.30pm so advanced noticed by the time I checked in in the evening. After a long travel I didn’t enjoy the 15 minute wait to be checked in whilst they found a suitable room On check out day, twice people tried to enter whilst occupied and before our allocated check out time of midday

United KingdomNothing to dislike - always a great stay here.
Breakfast is superb, possibly one of the best around. The bar area was very comfortable and the reception staff were all attentive. This hotel can get very busy being so close to the Apollo and Olympia, but this time it was pretty quiet which was lovely. Location is great just 5 mins walk to the Hammersmith tube / bus station. Although I was upgraded to a 'better room', which I was very grateful for, I wasn't really aware of any difference in facilities to the pretty good room I'd booked and stayed in before this trip, so knew what I was expecting in terms of room facilities so was able to make a direct comparison. If I was making the room choice again, I would stay with a 'Superior Room with Queen Bed and One Sofa Bed' rather than the Executive Room I was upgraded to on the 9th Floor.

United KingdomThe bathroom pods are too small and the door didn't close properly. No clear signage as to where the front of the hotel is. Confusing that could get into hotel at main entrance after midnight. Disappointing having gone down to car park had to go back upto first floor to get parking ticket endorsed.
Location round the corner from our evening reception car park good. Car park entrance level reception very helpful - quick checkin

United KingdomIt seem to take longer than necessary to check-in. Otherwise all was okay. Nothing else to say but still typing to make the line go green, nearly finished,
The location is ideal for Hammersmith Apollo. Clean and reasonable price for London. Would we stay there again? Yes. We didn't stay for breakfast but enjoyed the late check-out at 12:00

United Kingdom2 things, one very minor. The tap in the bathroom flowed at the back of the sink, so after cleaning teeth, the flow did not wash away the "spittle" and a glass was needed to wipe clean the sink. The tap itself just looked ugly. The 2nd point is potentially more serious. There was no key card control on the lifts, so anybody could walk in from the street and go up to the room levels. The lift could be accessed without passing staff & no checks.
Comfortable standard hotel room. liked the drinks chiller with soft drinks in it which were complementory. We didnt use any of the facilities, it was very much a place to sleep for one night in a good convienient location.

Waqas and Franchesco were excellent for service. Another lady on reception not so good. Food was good, but dissapointed restaurant wasnt open on the Sunday.

The location was fantastic for exploring in London, close to multiple tube lines and buses and the staff were brilliant allowing us to check in early allowing our first day exploring to be fair more comfortable without our bags.
