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.).

United KingdomStated above No handrail on upper floors. En suite not clean. Kettle ancient, needed replacing. Room was cold, needed blankets. Breakfast room in basement, not suitable for people with mobility issues. Toilet on ground floor near breakfast room had no hand basin, which should be illegal.
Fantastic location very close to Paddington Station. Lovely looking on the outside. I think our room was 5th floor. No handrail on last staircase. Senior staff not friendly or welcoming. Younger staff nice. Toilet on ground floor by breakfast room had no hand basin which should be illegal. Breakfast room in basement. Not really suitable for people with mobility issues. Our en suite needed a good clean. Our kettle was ancient and needed to be replaced, but good supply of tea, coffee milk, sugar and biscuits. Towels clean, toiletries and toilet roll supplied. Beds narrow but comfortable. Nice quality sheets, but needed a quilt or thick blanket, as room was very cold. Wardrobe, bedside table and small table for kettle provided. There were 2 tower style fans. Bathroom had an opening window. Bedroom had a window. Bible located on the bedside table. Chair in corner to sit on was handy. All areas of hotel carpeted. Breakfast included croissant, hot drinks, juice, cereal, fruit, toast, bacon, fried egg (no choice), and baked beans. Adequate breakfast.

United Kingdom2 buildings across the road from each other. Shower/toilet was tiny. Showerhead on floor as unable to stay up so i fixed it by pushing soap tray up the shower to hold it in place. Breakfast is across the road - room was tiny and bursting at the seams we only went once and paid for breakfast around the corner at The lite bite for the next 2 mornings.
Small but clean room.

United StatesThe room was small, and facilities older. We only had a short stay so it was fine for one night but might have started to feel cramped after several days.
The location was great and breakfast was included, although only for a short window of time. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The biscuits left in our room were very good and a nice snack with some tea after a long travel day.

United KingdomThe bed placement in the solo rooms meant that I (195cm tall) couldn’t lie completely straight - it was easy to temporarily roll the bed out though.
The location is great, staff were all friendly, room was clean. Was able to check in early because my room happened to be ready (I was going to use their luggage storage if not)

Hong KongAs many people have said there is only a narrow entrance and stair to go up and down that is quite troublesome when carrying big luggage. The room was small. The bathroom was small as well(difficult to turn around). There wasn't a proper desk in my room(it's a single room).
The location is good as it is close to metro and train station. The staff who I met was friendly. Breakfast included.
