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...).

AustraliaThe breakfast wasn’t very fresh and seemed rushed. Wouldn’t choose the breakfast option if I was to stay there again.
The location was definitely a great bonus and the Starbucks downstairs was also pretty good. The pool was also a plus as it was cold outside and it was a great way to end the evening after a cold day.

United KingdomI was a little disappointed that althought I asked for twin room we were given a double. I understand we had standard room booking through booking.com but they should've notified to let us know this request wasn't possible.
I was so happy that the holiday inn staff made me feel so nice on my arrival and in the room with wine and a card for my birthday. Was such a lovely touch.

RomaniaThe room was very dusty and my allergies kicked in by the end of our stay. The carpeting throughout did not help the matter either. The bathroom fogged up quickly but we couldn't turn on the ventilator as it qas clogged with dust, possibly a bit of mold. I know bathrooms in the UK tend to be more humid, but at least the ventilator would need to work properly.
Breakfast was very good and varied, the staff very pleasant and polite. The hotel is in a very good and beautiful neighborhood, close to the tube and busses.

United KingdomThis weekend was booked as a special birthday celebration. The room given was above a flat roof with no view. There was no acknowledgement even though the information was given that this was a special event. The Kingsize room was a disappointment and smaller than described - one had to turn sideways to get into the bathroom. There was only 1 bottle of water in the fridge - yet 2 occupants? The sauna - the most looked forward to part of the stay was Out Of Order!
Facilities within the hotel were all well, and staff were welcoming. The hotel was clean.

FranceWe stayed for three nights, the first night we had to call the reception because the heating was so noisy, they sent us maintenance and the poor guy started vacuuming in the conducts and told us that he couldn't do much because the conduct needed deep cleaning and there is only one person doing it for the entire hotel. The second night we asked to change room, which we did but it smelled really bad, like humid. Then it started raining and the rain was going through the window......into the bathroom. Overall, very nice position but I have the feeling that the rooms really need to be renovated.
Staff very nice and helpful and breakfast is fantastic

The hotel is very well positioned just off Kensington High Street making it very accessible to the shops and the tube station. The staff were very attentive, efficient and friendly. The room was not huge but clean and worked. The breakfast dining area was large with ample food stations. Food was very good.
