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.).

TurkeyThere were not enough utensils in the kitchen. We had difficulty even cooking pasta and there were no cleaning utensils to wash the utensils. Room was a bit dirty, it could be handled easily but maybe they need extra care.
Location is good. It’s near to Earl’s Court station approx 3 min. Stuff is helpful, you need to call before arrival. Room is comfortable. We liked it.

The property was super close to the Earl’s Court station and bus station, which was super convenient for us. Also 1-2 streets away from a lot of restaurants.

United KingdomVery tight space. Caught my arm several times on the hot towel rail. No socket near desk with kettle or in kitchenette area. Had to balance kettle on bedside stool to heat water in order to reach a socket. Blinds not sufficient to keep out the street lights so room was very light and difficult to get to sleep
Very convenient for tube. Comfy bed. Warm room. Good shower. Easy to contact and swift response from owner when encountered a problem, quickly rectified. Basic but good value for money. Fine for a base to spend minimum time in whilst exploring the city.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn’t like was how busy the road was. We managed to still sleep well over the weekend as a whole. The noise starts in the morning (around 7) but if you had earplugs you’d be fine!
I loved that it was in Kensington. It was a 2 second walk from Earl court station (if you leave the tube station the correct side haha) which has good connections. I also liked the fact that we got access codes and could check ourselves in, it was an easy process. The room was on the smaller side but it was enough. We didn’t spend much time in there aside from sleeping/getting ready etc so we were happy with it.
