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 facilities, the excessive noise and the uneven flooring.
The staff really were lovely, but on our second night we got no sleep at all. Our room was on the ground floor near reception and all night we had a LOT of noise and disruption. Mostly from people wandering the halls at 3am but we also was woken up at about half 5 by someone unpacking a delivery in the hall outside our room. There was a lot of banging outside our door. Our room was also on a slant which was very disorientating and the bathroom was so tiny we couldn't fit too well in there comfortably. The photos made the place looks a lot smarter than it was, but again, can't fault the staff and the location.

SwitzerlandThe room was very small. Fortunately, we had a room with a (small) double + a single bed, otherwise the night would not have been comfortable. Vent in the bathroom not working, hair dryer not working and no hooks etc to hang towels - mentioned to staff on checkout, they promised to look into this.
The hotel is perfectly situated not far from St Pancras / Kings Cross station. Close to restaurants. Our room was towards the garden, so not bothered by any traffic. Coffee/tea facilities and biscuits in the room appreciated :) Breakfast ok - would have liked proper coffee instead of instant coffee though.

Australia347 is on the road side which is very noisy. To make it slightly easier may I suggest the hotel messages guests to advise if they are coming by train from st pancreas station they head towards McDonalds then walk up the street where Nandos is on your right. Do not cross over to Nandos. How to get there from St Pancrease, I arrived in the dark at st pancrease and so did have some issues as my phones GPS got confused with so many roads all connecting at one point. Once you have the right st your phone should navigate you easily enough.
I had a new room which was done nicely. Bed was comfortable. I was in room 347 would recommend 346 as both rooms are at the end of the corridor so you would not hear people walking past your door Staff were very pleasant and I was very thrilled they have a lift as it is an old building. Arrived late and checked out early so didnt have breakfast.

United KingdomPerhaps the price hike compared to two or three years ago. More the three times the price.
Very clean and nicely decorated. The staff very friendly, Yas checked us in and he was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Made us feel at ease, also in morning we had a lovely staff member see us off, friendly and helpful. We left early to catch Eurostar, so can’t comment on breakfast.

United KingdomMy first room was street side and very noisy all night with passers by chatter and cars ,taxis ,buses rolling past all night .. so hardly slept .But that's not the hotell' s fault .There was no chair to sit on ,though the bed was comfortable to lay on with pillows ..My 2nd room ,the garden room, also had no chair and also no night lamp/ side lamp so had to turn off n on the top light which meant a walk over the room from bed .
The staff were wonderful and kind and helpful ..I loved my garden room private exit into the garden where I could sit out in the sun and enjoy the sun and the palm trees ..a lovely space .I loved the wallpaper too ! Very stylish .The lounge is a lovely space too .

Helpful manager; bedroom had a door that led straight into a nice shared garden; very convenient location; clean. If you need to stay overnight before catching an early train, you can't do better.

GreeceAs mentioned, state of corridors leading to the room was a bit poor. Shower head needed serious descaling. Nothing that really affected my stay however.
Great location close to King’s Cross. Friendly reception. Although the hotel corridors leading to the rooms looked quite old and not in the best state, the room itself was nice and had access to a garden. There was also access to a gym which I unfortunately didn’t get to use.

IrelandCan't fault this place.
Good value (for London). Very clean room, Quite (2nd floor & at the back.......perfect). Very friendly staff. 24 hour reception. Great location with easy access to King's Cross Tube Station & easy walking (less than an hour on a lazy Sunday morning with the sun shinning) via canal up to Camden for the Camden Markets for an easy no rush day & on to Regents Park. 3rd time staying at this hotel, can't fault it, same staff on each visit, which is a good sign. Only had the breakfast on one of the stays, not this time, it was your usual continental affair. There's a new Gym, didn't use, but it's a new addition to what's on offer, good to see a Hotel making improvements & investments.
