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 StatesThe room had an odd smell on day one. The staff took care of it but we couldn’t breathe when we first arrived. We stayed five nights and they didn’t refill the body wash. Unfortunately I was in the shower when I found out :(
The staff was very accommodating. Answered all my questions and requests. They mentioned the discount at the restaurant next door for hotel guests and we took advantage of it. My sister and I loved the food at the restaurant and had dinner there a couple of times.

United KingdomOverall it was fine, great location near two tube stations etc! The breakfast dining room was very tired! Could do with a revamp! I would definitely book it again tho as it is in such a great location!!
Paid extra to upgrade one room out of the two rooms booked! I did request that the should an upgraded room be possible it had to be with a shower only ( not shower over the bath) as my sister needed that option. However on checking into the upgraded room it was a shower over the bath! So I had to have that room instead of her! She didn’t receive the extra treat in the end! Didn’t change it though !The staff at the hotel were excellent, friendly helpful ! By mistake I had only paid for one of us for breakfast instead of for two of us! They were kind enough to give me a complimentary voucher for the second person!

MexicoWhat I didn’t like this time is I felt discriminated, I’m very aware for the check in time but sometimes when it’s available, you can get a little earlier. I arrived earlier and the concierge told me if there is availability he will give me my room. I waited almost an hour and then 3 different guests arrived after me and they got their rooms. I asked the concierge again and he told me it was because my rate, so Aimee’s to wait until 3oclock. I didn’t like it at all, it is not like I didn’t pay a full rate so I don’t know what he meant. And also if he would tell me from the beginning if would left my suitcases and left for lunch or something. I considered very unpolite and harsh.
I always stay in this hotel for the location, it’s located in a beautiful and convenient area. Near public transportation and beautiful hotel.

United KingdomThe bed made a lot of noise when you moved and the "duvet" was a sort of duvet smaller than the tube of sheet that it was in, so not easy and comfortable. I can see it is easier for laundry to wash sheets for each changeover and the inner duvet a bit less often, but that with the bed's noise meant it wasn't great Not enough glasses for water etc. No pegs so when you come in there is nowhere to hang your wet jackets etc and the wardrobe was tight so the room gets cluttered once you come in. (Like most hotels) The bin for tea bags and other stuff was small and the ever present plastic bags just collapse and not enough room. (Like most hotels) The room was fine and looked fine BUT it didn't feel as if the designers had ever stayed in it long enough to think through what would be good to haves.
The location is great both for walks into Hyde Park and beyond and for a wide variety of cafes/restaurants and shops. It is very close to two tube stations - Queensway on the Central line so easy for Easy/West routes - Bayswater for the circle line so access towards the river, parliament etc Lights and plugs and space around the bedheads made it easy for use

United StatesSize of bathroom. Could be better designed. The bathroom was so small the door barely close without hitting the sink. The hotel elevator was small and really slow and only one was working.
Great shower pressure. Nice a la carte breakfast with 25% discount. King bed was very comfortable. Right across is the gorgeous Hyde Park and next door is Queensway Tube Station. Lots of restaurants and pub nearby. Had a lovely dinner at Med Salleh a Malaysian street food restaurant (5 mins walk fr hotel). Also recommend The Park Restaurant, with a wide European menu. Quality food and service. Reservation recommended.
