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.).

ChinaAlthough we booked an Executive Double Room, we were assigned a room in the basement, which sems to have a slight odor probably due to ventilation issues. And, reception staff help us change to another room of same type with nice balcony starting from the second day. I really expect no basement room considering how much I paid for executive double room. The bathroom sink is designed as a narrow square, making it difficult to wash one's face, causing water to splash out extensively. Washing one's hair is practically impossible. This design looks cool, but is lack of practicality. The room, the lift, the corridor are all small. This is all probably indicative of any London hotel at this price point, but I had expected a little better.
The room was clean and had everything I needed in it. The location is perfect. And it is in a very safe neighbourhood.

United KingdomEverything was quite claustrophobic - the passageways were thin, the lift was tiny and I struggled to even fit in it with my bags and suitcase. The room was also pretty small considering how much I paid (the pictures on here are a little deceptive actually), and despite being automatically "upgraded" on check in to a "better" room, the room actually just had another bed in it, which really only meant there was less room to move around. The air con didn't work at first too, however this was resolved by reception staff. This is all probably indicative of any London hotel at this price point, but I had expected a little better.
The staff were wonderful - friendly and helpful and there was always somebody around if I had any questions. The room was clean and had everything I needed in it, including an iron and ironing board. It was also quiet - there is a tube station right around the corner but you wouldn't have known it. The reception and restaurant area had a nice vibe too, and the breakfast was great and highly recommended - cooked to order with plenty of choice. Make sure to buy it the day before to save a few quid Vs the on-the-day pricing.

United KingdomStandard room is quite small and the ensuite bathroom very small for two people, but ok for a few days or a long weekend stay. If staying longer recommend upgrade to executive room. Why do hotels have plastic mattress covers that seem to get very hot? must be an alternative breathable type around?
Easy to check in/out, staff and location excellent in a quiet street very close to Earls Court Station. Great access to Central London via the District Line. Lots of local eating and dining options in the area. Clean and modern decoration, comfortable, evens had nice pillows, for a change. Nice entrance and reception seating area. Did not use the bar or dinning area. Nice ambiance.
