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 KingdomAs the other reviews say it does look a bit tired, room was smaller than we had hoped for. Bed kind of dips and is soft. Perfect for me but not my partner.
Excellent location. The bath robes are the softest ever I wanted to take them home. Staff are very friendly. Nice water from reception, I’m now adding oranges all the time. Nice little touch.

United KingdomBooked a twin room but had to ask for it to be made into twin on arrival. Had been set as a double. Upon changing to twin the gap between beds was extremely small! Very noisy room from something outside of the room. It seemed to stop after midnight-1pm then resume around 7am. No hand wash in the bathroom. Bathroom (shower) rather run down Lift to our room smelled badly of smoke
Location was great for the business trip. Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable.

BrazilLot's of little broken things, non working lightbulbs, broken handles, knobs... it seems that they are not so focused on maintenance. The room didn't have a proper window, just some very small light ways - not useful
Extremely comfortable bed, big bathroom, attentive and courteous staff, top notch cleanliness, very well served breakfast despite a little over the price. Good sound isolation and good taste decoration.

United KingdomBreakfast was ok, it lacked quantity especially on the English Breakfast since it was £19 per day which is significantly overpriced for what was available.
Rooms were comfy and spacious. Liked having a seperate comfy chair to sit in that wasnt a desk chair.

United KingdomNot the easiest to get to unless you know London well
The hotel is decorated lovely. Smells nice throughout too. Nice dining area for breakfast, good breakfast too but pricey at £25pp. My room was quite small but clean. The bed was really comfortable. It was a little noisy being close to the road and could hear external doors opening and closing outside my room. The shower leaked and the plug hole was stuck. The shower wall tray and tiles were also damaged. Even though it didn’t affect my stay much, for the price I paid I’d expect it to be nicer.

United KingdomBed and pillows could be softer! Air conditioning seemed very random. Not at the five star rating in my opinion, sets expectations too high for what is still an excellent hotel.
The room was spacious and the facilities good. Other reviews had mentioned this was not a five star hotel and I have to agree, but neither was the price at the level of a five star hotel in London. For the price it was excellent value for money based on location, facilities and size of room. All staff were very friendly.

United KingdomThe first room we went to the aircon didn’t work, when we complained they took us to 4 separate rooms to find one that actually had everything working, the next day we were woken up by a fire alarm started by someone showering? At 7.30 then 8.30, we complained about this and the staff were nothing but helpful but miscommunication is a bit of an issue, we were promised room service and then evening staff did not get told so said we would get charged. This was resolved but having to constantly argue was quite frustrating.
The staff were fantastic when we approached with multiple issues and couldn’t do more to help us amend this.
