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...).

CanadaThe room would get really hot even with the window and it's quite small.
Safe location, well-equipped, clean. A small fan was provided which helped a lot.

GermanyBed was too narrow for 2 people (estimate 1,2 m width). You could hear people arriving early in the morning, late at night, see the lights in hallway through the door. The right window blind couldn't be completely closed, there was a gap of about 30 cm, so it was fairly bright in the morning in the room
The location was perfect, very close to tube, good choice of restaurants nearby, M&S, Paul... Check in and out was easy, well explained in mails. Bed is/ would be comfortable for 1 person but far too small for couple. Room 8 downstairs was good for us, not too hot (mid Sept) we could open the window. Shower/bathroom was fine

BelgiumThere was only one window which we couldn’t leave open during the night for safety reasons and it was incredibly hot inside because of that.
The bed was quite comfortable and the small shower gels which smelled very nice.

NetherlandsWe really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was very clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed — all appliances worked perfectly and were of good quality. Even though the windows face the railway line, it was absolutely quiet, even with the windows open. The neighborhood itself is calm and peaceful, just a short walk to the underground station, with shops nearby and very easy access to the city center.

United KingdomThe flat was quite small. It also could do with some chairs. It’s a bit strange that there are cooking facilities but not a chair or table, so you basically have to sit on your bed to eat food. Yes, the apartment is small, but it can easily fit some fold up chairs and a small fold up table. These items can be placed in the gap between the wardrobe and the wall. It was unfortunately quite noisy at night time. The guests in the flat next door decided to sit outside and chat, and I could hear them directly in the flat. When they had the lights on in the kitchen they would completely flood the flat with light. It’s lucky that I always pack an eye mask and ear plugs. There is no aircon. It was a very hot day. I had the window open (it only opens a little) and the flat was swelteringly hot. I didn’t get good reception with my phone. I’m with 02 and it was probably their fault, but to get reception I had to sit outside.
This was a lovely flat. Everything in the flat looked brand new. I loved it that it had its own front door, so it was very private. The shower was amazing and very powerful. It was very clean. I loved it that I could log onto my own Netflix on the television.

IrelandSize a bit small but that’s not unusual for London. It is warm in the summer as other reviewers mentioned, but you can open the window for some circulation and it was tolerable for us. Downside of that is you can hear the underground trains going then. Bathroom compact, but very good water pressure on the shower.
Very good location. close to Tube station. Plenty of dining options around including M&S and Co-op for the odd groceries. Basic kitchen facilities to make drinks and some cooking.

United StatesAny negatives were clearly stated in the description, so I knew going in that there is no elevator or air conditioning, therefore I cannot complain. But being on the top floor in summer was uncomfortable. They do provide a fan but it really wasn’t enough. My room on the first floor was much more comfortable. So if you have difficulty with stairs or are sensitive to heat, it may be a problem. I did request to be in a lower floor for my second stay, which happened, but requests cannot be guaranteed so just keep that in mind if visiting in the summer. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives.
I stayed here twice in a short time frame as I went in and out of London. First stay was on the top floor (4th floor/5th for Americans) and second was on the first floor (second for Americans). Communication before and during the stay was excellent. All questions were answered promptly and instructions for checking in and out were clear. The location is excellent. Easy to get to by Tube from Heathrow airport and the Earls Court station is just a couple minutes walk away. From there you can get anywhere in London, often without needing to change lines. There is a grocery store at the end of the road and many restaurants nearby. The area felt safe. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I would not hesitate to return here the next time I am in London.

United KingdomAbsence of AC or even a fan makes it unbearable in warmer weather. Keeping the window open feels a bit unsafe with proximity to other rooms and street. There was also a noisy power generator (street works) operating outside for the whole night.
It’s a good sized property for the price. Very clean.

PortugalUnfortunately stayed on the top floor and it's very hot during the hot weather. They do provide you with a fan, which was the only way to sleep at night, but was sweating trying to get ready.. And going up 4 floors of stairs is very demanding, but great to burn calories I must say.
Very cozy and modern. Great location. Would stay there again for sure, but not during summer months!

United KingdomLike many of the reviews for this property, the lack of aircon is a major downside, especially as we visited on a very hot weekend. I'd say the Management should invest in getting aircon units installed, up the prices by 3% and it'll have paid for itself relatively quickly, and the reviews will reflect this too. An easy win-win! Other than that, the bed being against the wall made it difficult for the person on that side to get in and out during the night, but the space probably doesn't allow the bed to be positioned elsewhere. A minor inconvenience. The wifi was patchy, especially in the evening, which was a bit disappointing.
Apartment was fine for a couple. Reasonable kitchen, decent shower/toilet, and spacious enough overall. Bed was very comfortable once you were on it. The building itself is very nice, in a decent street, and with good security in place, in terms of codes to get in.
