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...).

United KingdomThe room location which was in the basement. Totally claustrophobia. A window that only a cat could fit through. Not what we'd chosen on booing.com
A nice welcome from the staff and really liked the Hotel . We arrived before check in so we left our bags with reception and we were told our bags would be placed in our room. On arriving back late that night we were taken by the night staff to the basement part of the hotel to our room. The room itself was very nice but the bed was unbelievably small and we had the tiniest window which we would not have been able to get through if there had been a fire. I had total claustrophobia. I asked the member of staff if we could move and he said the hotel was full. When checking out the staff asked if everything was OK. I repeated what I'd said the night before and my concerns. The thing is the room was nothing like advertised on Booking.com hence my surprise. We use booking.com all the time and this is the first time it's ever happened. Sorry for my rant but this was not what we booked.

United States of AmericaWe would have appreciated hooks in the bedroom or bathroom to hang our towels. The location is ok, just a bit far from the center of London.
The beds were super comfy. We liked that this is an eco-friendly, vegan-friendly hotel. The staff was really nice and helpful and our stay was lovely.

United Arab EmiratesThe single occupancy room is a bit small and the hallways too narrow but it’s definitely doable if you’re just sleeping the night there and spending the day out exploring the city.
Location is a very close walk to Paddington station yet it’s on a quiet back street. Filtered water is provided on each floor.

I loved the breakfasts - healthy and delicious! My first room was very small but okay for one person. It was a quiet room but an unexpected fire alarm went off and I was unsure what was expected for guests. I didn’t sleep after that!

CyprusRooms are extremely small. But for the price we paid, I guess it was okay. Shower had problem with the water temperature. It was suddenly changing from cold to burning by itself. We experienced the same in both our room and our friends had the same in their room.
Very cute hotel, nice modern and clean. Good service and pleasant staff. Free drinking water. Comfortable bed. Overall good value for money. Good location close to bus stop and Hyde park.
