Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomI couldn't get any hot water in the hand basin but the shower was great. One staff member never smiled!! The seats in the breakfast room were not very comfortable.
Although small, the room was very comfortable and very clean. The location was great, nice and quiet with lovely view of the square garden. Breakfast had a good choice of foods and the coffee was good.

The location is superb, underground tube station right around the corner but without the buzz of the high street or main street next to the station. Excellent architecture, convenient late self checking (Digital). Staff was very helpful and I would stay at the same hotel again.

IrelandThe selection for breakfast was limited. I would have appreciated some kind of bread or rolls and not just toast or sweet options. Also, breakfast finished at 9.30am already, which is quite early for us.
Both, my husband and I had the best sleeps ever!! Such a comfortable bed!!! Room temperature was perfect, too (hotel rooms are often too warm). Location was perfect! Beautiful and quiet side street only 2 minutes walk from Earls Court Station.

United States of AmericaElevator goes to the fourth floor and my room was on the fifth floor. Very steep steps to my room which was number 43 on the fifth floor. Tv channel selection was minimal with several channels dedicated to commercials only. Best night to watch tv was only on Sunday nights. Shower was small, like a phone booth.
Breakfast was good. Meat and cheese provided for sandwiches. Location very close to Earls Court tube station. Room was small but functional. Having a small refrigerator was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful.

AzerbaijanBreakfast was too continental.
I didnt expect room would be so well designed, everything was considered in design. Small lighitning on the ceiling made room ambiance. We stayed in twin bedroom. It was clean and large. Nice view from balcony. 2 min walk to Earls Court station. All groceries are on the main road which is just 2 min walks from the hotel. Friendly staff. I signed for loyalty program for the next time I would definitely stay there.

United KingdomWhen the rooms were cleaned all the old bed linen was just left all over the corridor's and the stairs making falling down the stairs as possible risk. It would also have been nice if the breakfast staff had a bit more interaction with guests on the first day.
Location was good for access to the centre of London. Reception staff helpful. Excellent price self service breakfast.

United States of AmericaThe main problem was the cold temperatures outside that caused a lot of drafts indoors and cool air (mid-January). The heater wouldn't work at some point and it became really cold everywhere inside. Due to how old the building is not much they could have done. But it is disappointing. So if you plan to stay there in the wintertime when the temp is very low - here's your warning, bring warm PJ's :) the minor things like TV that didn't work didn't bother me that much but would be nice to have a heads up about it.
The location is great, super close to Earl's Court station. Very quiet at night. Clean and tidy. The staff tried their best.
