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 States of AmericaI loved everything about the property.
I booked the deluxe double room for a three night holiday at the Zetter Clerkenwell. The charming room was located on the top floor with a nice view through two large windows. The property is set back from the busy street and I was able to sleep with the windows open undisturbed. I enjoyed the fresh coffee and French press the hotel provided. The bathroom had plenty of nice linens and toiletries. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. There is a wardrobe where you can hang and place your clothes. The wifi was good. You do have to walk through the very busy pub in the evening to get back and forth to your room but not an issue. The property is located a short walk from Farringdon transit, which I used several times along with the bus service on Clerkenwell Road. I also walked to Covent Garden (about twenty five minutes). I felt rested and was comfortable during my stay and I love the Clerkenwell location. I will stay at the Zetter Clerkenwell again.

SwitzerlandThe only thing I didn’t like was walking between two bar tables to get to the lift. Otherwise, this is lovely place. I’d stay there again.
It’s a beautiful building in a great location. It’s Central London and yet it’s really calm and only a few minutes walk to the tube. Lovely people too, and a good bar.

A very homey, and intimate space! Rooms just the right size, and very well located. I’ll definitely stay here again!

SwitzerlandGood breakfast in the beautiful and cosy dining room. I stay for 3-5 nights at once, and like to feel at home. This is exactly how the Townhouse feels, with the bespoke furniture and lovely cocktail bar/breakfast room. The location is excellent, walking distance from Farringdon tube station that takes you right into the heart of London.
