Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesArea/outside street/neighborhood
Room was lovely, bathroom beautiful, very nice windows and AC worked well. Breakfast is a bit ho-hum and coffee needs an upgrade, for example a good espresso machine that can make cappocinos and offers non-dairy milks would be good. Location is not great, the high-street is a bit seedy and it's a drag to leave that sweet, well-designed pub/hotel and walk along a crap street to the tube a few blocks down. Alternatively, we Uber'd but that can be pricy and the area is a bit off the beaten path.

United KingdomThis place is a real gem. It was so clean, the staff were super friendly, the room was beautiful and felt so cosy. There is even free bottled water to help yourselves to. The building is absolutely stunning, such detail, the decor is perfect. I couldn't fault anything, apart from the shame of the area the building is in, but that's nothing the pub or staff can help, just the times we're unfortunately living in. Thank you to the staff for making our stay amazing. Keep up the good work.

United KingdomJust small easily fixed niggles really - a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries and somewhere to hang wet towels rather than the overcrowded heated radiator.
Lovely grade 2 well maintained listed building. The room itself was well appointed and clean. Air conditioned, quiet, a rainfall shower, and everything else you would expect (tea and coffee, unlimited water, TV etc). Staff was very welcoming, friendly, attentive and accommodating. Food in the restaurant was superb (menu is curry focused on six days of the week and that was good for us). Location was spot on - two tube lines, overground and a plethora of buses to choose from or easy enough to walk to Maida Vale and Little Venice. Great value for money.

United KingdomThere is nothing I can complain about at all.
Our stay at the Black Lion was superb. Lovely air conditioned room, the bed was super comfortable, continental breakfast was excellent. Lovely complimentary toiletries (Rituals) Tea and coffee making facilities with only the best products. There is also a fridge stocked with complimentary ice cold water, which was much appreciated in temperatures of over 30 degrees. This pub is absolutely beautiful inside and spotlessly clean. The staff were so helpful and friendly and always smiling even in 30 degrees plus heat. The small plates of Indian food were superb. It is situated a five minute stroll from Kilburn Underground station which is on the Jubilee line and has you in Westminster in no time. We will definitely return and I highly recommend the Black Lion.

United StatesOn arrival, we felt a little concerned about the area. It is an older part of town and looks more simple and run down than, say, the Kensington area. It is more of an international neighborhood. But right behind the pub is a park and an actual neighnorhood of row houses. We walked around to some of the basic shops one night and it was fun to get a feel for the people there. There was no refrigerator in the room but they did have a cooler with water bottles available to all and we put our leftovers in it one night...not lots of extra room but a little. But with the good breakfast included its not as needed. Also, breakfast didnt start until.7:30 so we missed it two of our days there as we had to be on the road by 7:00 to get to bookings. Two flights of steep stairs to rooms so consider that if you have mobility issues.
The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and there was air conditioning..something you don't always get in London. The pub itself was beautiful inside and there was a very nice breakfast included. They call it continental breakfast but the variety was nice and included protein sources and homemade sour dough for toast. We ate at the restaurant one night and the food was the best we had our entire time in London. Also a bus stops directly in front of the pub and takes you to Paddington station where you can catch a train to the airport or other locations. The jubilee line is a ten minute walk to the station.

CroatiaThe only thing I could think of is that the breakfast spread is not diverse enough. Everything was very tasty, but only one type of ham and cheese every morning and only two types of veggies was a bit disappointing.
We stayed in the Cosy Double room and it was just like in the photos - very cosy, beautifully designed amd everything was very clean! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, it was a grrat stay overall, would definitely come back! Great breakfast, but could have more options.
