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 StatesAC was not working & the room was stuffy & uncomfortable except in the early morning. After the 1st night they worked on the AC but were unable to fix it.
Overall pleasant except for the AC problem & we had very purposely booked a room with AC

TurkeyThere was nothing we actively disliked, though we have two small suggestions that could enhance the experience further: 1) adding towel hooks in the bathroom, as there is ample wall space to accommodate them; 2) a larger wardrobe, which would be particularly useful for guests staying several days. A minor point to bear in mind: if you prefer to sleep with the windows open, you may notice a bit of street noise at night.
We stayed in a newly renovated Premium Queen Room with an extra bed for our daughter. Even with the additional bed, the room was spacious and comfortable. The main bed was particularly restful, making for an excellent night’s sleep. The staff were outstanding throughout our stay — from Victor at reception to Roger and a lovely lady at breakfast — all warm, professional, and attentive. Breakfast offered a good variety with something for everyone. The hotel is very well located, just a short walk from Earl’s Court tube station, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and convenience stores nearby. Overall, a delightful stay and we would be very happy to return.

United KingdomThe room was small and the bathroom needed a tidy up silicone coming away and very discolored . The shower head was spraying in all directions as it needed a good clean. Basin unit was hanging off the wall.
The staff at breakfast were very friendly and engaging. The reception staff were ok. But I had asked for a different room and was told they would get back to me and never heard anything.

Breakfast was ok, abit bland. Staff were good when around. Seemed understaffed. Very often there was no one at the front desk when you needed someone. Especially at check in.

United KingdomI was surprised to find that the restaurant only served bar snacks on Saturday and Sunday evenings. I was a solo lady traveller with a tiring itinerary visiting a relative in hospital and so looking forward to eating at the hotel. It meant walking to find restaurants which was not a comfortable experience
Comfortable bed, quiet room, good bed linen change. Excellent breakfast and friendly efficient staf

Australia1. Basement room after paying a premium price 2. Air-conditioning unit rattled so we ended up leaving it off so we could sleep and it was a very hot night and we were to scared to leave the window open as we were ground level so we roasted pretty much. 3. I think the price of this hotel for Earls Court area which really isn't that flash anymore we ended up walking in Chelsea area to get a decent restaurant. Stayed in a much cheaper hotel near Paddington and found some wonderful trendy places will stay there next time. 4. The price tag was ridiculous $800 Aus Dollar for a weekday rate.
So the room was big and well decorated for London standards, the bathroom large and a decent size shower compared to our next hotel. Breakfast which was included in our stay was amazing and the best part of our stay and the dining room bar area was excellent. I would have ticked stay again if it had not been for the ridiculous price tag we were offered if we stayed a second night, the price went from $600 to $800 Australian dollars and the limited decent restaurants around Earls Court the most decent was in the hotel itself unless you walked miles like we did down to Chelsea.

South AfricaThe other managers were poor and had bad communication. I booked a day room prior to my stay and was put in a tiny room in the basement by the manager who then it seemed expected me to stay in this room for the full seven days accommodation. It was only after a dispute that he agreed to change the room. During the stay on one occasion the room was not cleaned until after 4pm and once again the night manager was very unhelpful with resolving this situation. The operational manager have very poor communication skills and need training on how to improve their communication with customers and resolve problems.
The breakfast was good and the staff were excellent particularly Richard, Roger and Anjali. They were always friendly and went out of their way to make the morning special
