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...).

Great location and the facilities was very good, hot water for shower in a beautifully purposed bathroom, great kitchenette with fridge, washing machine, kettle, microwave and kettle with glasses, cups and utensils and cutlery. There’s TV with a set top box to watch TV, and a great comfortable bed.

United KingdomStaff never respond to my messages and never sent me a single message. Tv doesnt have a netflix
I love the whole toilet: mirror with adjustable backlights, comfy toilet seat, great shower cubicle. Location 7mins walk to tube station and 2mins walk to supermarket. There is wash/dry machine, conduction stove, fridge, and basic kitchenware. Specially love the range hood lights. Good value for money given the location.

United KingdomParking was a problem, while booking thought I will be able to park near premises by paying local parking rate. Unfortunately, I had to find a paid parking space around 20 min walking distance because it was resident-only parking area. Staff told me I can park and if the traffic police had not warned me, I would have received a parking ticket.
Room was bigger than we expected, room and en-suite was clean, staff was friendly. Had no problems checking-in and checking-out. They kept our luggage safe in reception on the day we checked-out.

United KingdomThe sofa bed in the living area is very shabby and with bits flaking off, also not comfortable to sleep on. Soft mattress on the double bed (some people might like that). Checkout is at 11, yet at 10.40 the reception was closed and no one picks up the phone. Not great if you've got a taxi waiting or train to catch. Lots of bin bags of rubbish in front of the hotel on the pavement and the surrounding roads, despite the great location.
Good value for money. Location, clean, all as in the pictures. Checking in process easy, lift works. Lots of hot water, everything in the kitchen in working order, wifi great. Clean bed linen and towels, decor reasonably fresh and new.

FranceSadly, I had to leave on my second day even though I had booked for 3 days and 2 nights as my next door neighbours were very loud, keeping their door wide open and smoking cigarettes. It was so late I just opted to get a ride around 10pm to meet my family. I informed the reception that night and followed up the next morning. They said they would look into it and check in on the room next to me, but it seems the evening reception didn’t inform the day reception team. I lost out on a night’s booking, but I couldn’t stay in a hotel room where the smell of smoke lingered in and out. It was just overwhelming and not what I expected from fellow guests in a non-smoking establishment.
The staff and reception team were super nice! They are kind and run a very good hotel. Shah was a superstar and was very clear on directions. This is a long term apartment/hotel that rents out rooms for a few nights as they become available. I had a studio that was impeccable. It had everything but a drying rack which I understand would be something you would bring for long term use. It would be great if there were a few available for short term stays. The room had high ceilings and a huge shower, comfortable bed and air conditioning/fan units. There is a full kitchen and a washer as well as a small lounge area and table/chair for dining. It was really an exceptional place. Unfortunately, I didn’t stay all my booked nights due to a long term guest.

HungaryThe were little bugs in the kitchen, so we couldn't store our breads on the counter and in the kitchen cabinet. There weren't any water glasses, so we had to drink from tea cups. The doors couldn't be closed with the handle, so everybody had to slam their door which made a lots of noice. The soundproofing wasn't really good, the windows didn't have any and we could also hear the other guests' step above us.
The location is very good (in the Zone 1), 5 minutes walk from the metro stations, 20 mins walk from the Kensington palace. Lots of cafés, restaurants, supermarkets all around the place, available by walk. The room was very bright, the were lots of natural light shining in, but the black out curtens could make the room also very dark for sleeping. It was acceptable for a few night. We could prepare our breakfast and heat the pre-cooked dinners. The central heating was very good, the temperature was nice in the room.
