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.).

My husband is 82, and we asked for a ground floor room. They put us on the first floor. We moved to a room in a building across the road which had been refused by another guest because it wasn't in the main building. I think it should be made clear that the hotel operates out of two buildings
The location was good

Very well presented and clean, desk staff really friendly and helpful. Fairly small room but perfect for 1 and good price considering the excellent location a minute from the tube and Kings Cross station. I’d normally avoid travel via London but this great little hotel is a game changer for me.

It was small so although it was a double room you would get easily wound up if you were sharing it with someone.

We were on the ground floor and our bedroom door banged every time someone came in or out the front door . A minor gripe as we would stay again
The location for St Pancreas station was brilliant. The room was clean as was the bathroom . It had everything we needed for a night and would definitely stay again . Overall good value .

Nothing really. Can’t help that there is no lift , that’s ok if you are relatively fit to climb stairs. Staff helped with luggage up which was a bonus.
Right at Kings Cross Stn. Accomodating staff.

A little bit noisy since anyone is walking through the stairs and hallway, but not such a big problem.
We did not take any breakfast at the hotel, but very good location to discover London highlights! Located so closed to King Cross underground station and available to reach many center lines of London transportation system. Also easy to come from Stansted Airport is a plus. Rooms are small but enough for 1 week stay, as already mentioned in other comments on booking. An acceptable housekeeping service including daily cleaning trashes and fresh towel met our expectations. Hotel staff were so nice and supportive for any point. Alhambra is currently offering its promises to guests and I wanna stay at Alhambra next time in London.

The room is very small so I wouldn’t stay there for more than a day but overall very decent and honest hotel for the amenities it offers.
We wanted something close to the train station and that hotel was a very good choice. The room was very clean and the staff smiley and helpful.
