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 StatesThere was no mini fridge and no actual view from our room.
The room was small but efficiently laid out. Same for the bathroom. The bed was reasonably comfortable but not enough pillows. The hotel is located close to two different subway lines so it's quite easy to get to and from the hotel. There are a couple of good pubs and restaurants nearby - just a few minutes walking - along with a pharmacy, coffee and pastry places, a dry cleaner and several convenience stores.

IrelandThe room was small and on night one it was hard to get the temperature right. It could be stuffy at times and freezing the next minute. Could use a small bin in the main room as well as the bathroom.
Really good stay in a central location. The room was clean and neat and had good touches, such as small lamps at each bed and charging points too. It also had the usual things like a hairdryer and tea station. The room was well designed and though small, it was fine for three of us for two nights. Convenient cloakroom too. Overall, a great stay.

FranceI wish the bathroom had been a tad cleaner. An extra bin in the bedroom would've been helpful too.
The bed was especially comfortable. It was small, but the mattress was very nice, and it worked perfectly for a three-night stay. The location of the hotel was perfect. Very well connected to the tube (Bayswater and Queensway stations with Central line, Circle line, and District line) as well as the train station Paddington. Also, the neighborhood was calm and felt secure.

AustraliaPoor customer service on arrival. Reception area was a mess because the elevator was being repaired. No apology from the staff in regards to the state of the reception area. Was given a room on the 2nd floor and was expected to carry my luggage up the stairs which I complained about and was subsequently given a room on the ground floor.
The location is excellent

AustraliaThe flashing red and green lights on the air conditioner were very annoying at night. At the time of our stay, this hotel was undergoing extensive renovations. This was not reported on booking.com. Essentially parts of it were a construction site. No kitchen facilities were operating so there was no breakfast. This may bother some. The elevators also were not working, so perhaps reconsider if you have a problem with stairs. Help with luggage was provided. Like anywhere in London, expensive.
This hotel is very well situated in the city of Westminster. It is in a quiet street close to Kensington gardens. The staff were generally helpful, some more than others. The rooms are very small, not great if you have more than cabin baggage. Beds are also small, yet comfortable. The bathroom likewise is snug but does have a surprising amount of shelf space, the night light in this room is a nice little touch, as are the charging pads in the bedrooms. The window can be opened, this is nice
