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 KingdomIt was a bit dusty here and there, it would benefit from a deep clean and replacement of things that were broken, but it’s a budget accommodation so I wasn’t that fussed.
Lovely couple that run the place, they stored my luggage for me after I checked out. I had the top floor single room which was nice because of all the sunlight, lots of mirrors, and comfy sleep. Bathroom was clean and the self serve breakfast was sufficient.

United StatesA bit old and need some new paint carpet or laminate flooring, bed is ok. You hear every door on every floor closing and open. Bed sheet and new towels at least every other day should be good. Or setup a self service places to grab these and change diy is fine. Kitchen stuff not too clean and greasy.
Location is convenient mins walk to bus and metro; safe area and locals live, shared kitchen you can cook, laundry onsite as well, free breakfast, nice staffs. Good value for the $ you pay for London. It is not five star or even 3 star place so manage your expectations for the $ you pay.

United KingdomThere is no parking at the property and the residents' bays outside are permit only (or pay and display, maximum stay four hours) between 9.30am-5pm Monday-Friday; this is, of course, not an issue for anyone staying one night and arriving after 5pm (or even, say, 3pm if they are prepared to pay for a couple of hours) and leaving before 9.30 (check-out is 10am), or those staying at the weekend, but worth considering if you are intending to leave your car all day on a weekday and travel in London by tube (I think you'd need to be a fair distance away to find unrestricted parking, although as I arrived on Sunday and left at 9.30am on Monday, I didn't investigate alternative options). I would have liked more information on the check-in procedure before arrival. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but I did manage to sleep well. The price I had was very reasonable, but I did try to re-book for a later trip and notice that the price fluctuates quite wildly (the price was more than double what I paid), which is a pity, because this is the sort of accommodation I would like to use regularly (the property does offer a discount code against future bookings, however).
The location of Flexistay Tooting is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Tooting Broadway tube and an array of shops, cafes, takeaways etc. Check-in was fine, although I was expecting to receive instructions for a keysafe or something similar (given the type of accommodation this is), but I arrived, rang the intercom and was let in (although it took a while to get a response) by a very friendly man who gave me the keys. The room was a fair size, with a kettle, mugs, tea and coffee, as well as a table and armchair. and spotlessly clean. The shower was reliable, with excellent water pressure, although the door didn't quite close properly (however, this did not result in any leakage). The communal kitchen and lounge were also spotless and there are two fridges - one for the self-cook breakfast (containing milk, butter, bread, eggs, bacon, fruit juice) and another for food brought by guests. In addition to the fridge contents, there are also cornflakes available. I had concerns that the kitchen might be crowded at breakfast time, but I had it to myself. The wi-fi was reliable too.

SlovakiaThe bed could be better, but for the price it was ok. Although there was an option for breakfast, I didn't notice any vegetable choices. But I didn't search for that extensively.
As a budget hostel (it was one of the typical houses from the row of houses often seen in London quarters ), it fulfilled even exceeded my expectations. After some negative experiences with similarly priced stays in London this one was really serious and satisfying choice. Staff was nice and even I came early they checked me in and allowed me to leave my luggage inside while the room will be ready. It was nice to have fruits to take on breakfast.

Clean room with good amenities, nice staff and quite a comfortable bed. There was a fan by the bed which is always a win as I always sleep with a fan (yes, even in Winter!). Great location, little Tesco is 3 minutes walk away, same with McDonalds and the busses. Tube station also a 7 minute walk.

United KingdomThe place could do with a new stair carpet but saying that it was hoovered.
I liked the fact that you could use the kitchen to prepare and eat food at whatever time you liked. This place was exactly as it was described. Don't expect the Ritz because it isn't but other things make up for it such as 24 hour access to a kitchen makes up for it.

AustriaThe room was on the groundlevel (which isn't a problem) but the window only had blinds. Without them the neighbours could easily look into the room. I would recommend to install day curtains for more privacy. I didn't find any vegetables or fruits in the breakfast fridge, would have been nice to have that as an option.
