How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Rooms could be bigger but this was expected in London. The positives far outweigh the negatives.
Very clean, high quality finishes, excellent location, such wonderful and accommodating staff. Great lobby bar/restaurant (small and intimate but nice) with outdoor seating. All details are thought out.

The lounge was small and not that comfortable. Lovely design but maybe a case of form over function. Likewise the bar felt awkward and the tables were always laid for for. It’s good to be ready but feels odd if you are in a bar. No mirror by a plug for drying your hair in the bedroom.
Staff were excellent and location was good for our trip

Lighting in the room wasn't ideal. There was a table with two chairs which would be much more useable if it had a light of some sort over it or at least near it.
Perfect location for Notting Hill visit. Hotel is full of interesting creative work of all kinds: art, design, literature and music. Our room had its own vinyl record player. Excellent breakfasts.

We were first shown to a smelly creepy dungeon in the basement, but the staff fixed it when asked and we got a nice room facing inner court. The walls are thin so you need earplugs.
The location and ala carte breakfast were outstanding.

the only issue are the windows, there`s a draft coming from the windows, of course they are tradidional windows, which suit the house perfectly, but I guess in the winter, this could be a bigger issue, no problem in spring, summer and autumn.......
The tube station is right next to the hotel, which is perfect, also with luggage (Notting Hill station). Breakfast is a la carte, we loved it ! The rooms are very nice and there`s a bottle of water complimentary:)

I thinks what your paying for is the location. The rooms are small furthermore considering it’s a 5 star hotel we were expecting kettle, iron and ironing board, we had to ask for these. Also I was disappointed about the minibar which wasn’t complimentary, maybe I’m used to other hotels which I’ve booked where minibar is complimentary. However this aside it was a comfortable 2 night stay and as I booked predominantly for work reasons it did the job.
Great location next to Hyde park and Kensington palace. Notting Hill is stunning and great architecture all around. Tube station is literally outside. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing especially the eggs!

Hard to fault this hotel
The location is excellent - very close to both the tube station (Notting Hill) and also Kensington Gardens. Although the room was a little small (not unusual in London) it was beautiful, clean, comfortable and quiet. We only had breakfast one morning, but it was great and priced well also.

No outlet for hair dryer in our bathroom (basement level) made it difficult to get ready. Lighting in bathroom could have been better.
Location was wonderful - felt tucked away yet minutes away from transportation and all we needed. We loved the ambience and decor in the hotel and rooms. Staff were personable and restaurant, drinks were a nice touch!
