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.).

AustraliaGet someone to paint the peeling bits out the front. Didn't look to be a big job. But it currently looks like no-one cares. No real dislikes except the stairs on 6th floor - but we managed ok. Though we liked the bathroom, the shower facilities were not good. My wife however loved the bath!
Loved the location, very convenient to get around London. The staff were always cheerful & helpful The bathroom was large and well eqipped And the bed was comfortable & cosy. We slept like a log. I loved the little fridge. Unlike many hotels, it kept stuff COLD. Well done

PolandIt's a pity that they've started serving only continental breakfast.
The hotel is located in a very nice, quiet area. Very easy access to the tube and bus (94). The room rather small, but I didn't mind it so much, as I didn't spend much time indoors. Cleaning done every day.

United KingdomIssue with the shower in the room (which I reported) breakfast was rather chaotic, loads of staff, no leader. Stood around waiting for coffee, or food, or, drinks, there always seemed to a delay in getting something. But, it was good quality food and the staff were very pleasant. The lad in the bar spent more time elsewhere than where he should have been! Nice lad but needs a rocket up his backside, customers are the priority, not walking about chatting to other staff. 👍. But, again, very pleasant young man. All the staff on reception were excellent!!!
Excellent location, close to the parks and close to the city. Nice room (in the basement) and in the majority the staff, especially at reception were brilliant.

FinlandStaff during breakfast felt stressed out and everybody was responsible for everything. Did not like the fact that the staff who removes used dishes and food rests with their hands (wearing gloves) also goes to the kitchen, gets clean plates and cutlery and hands those over to new guests. Would be way more hygienic (and efficient) if roles are separate, so that certain staff only removes dirty dishes while others serve new guests. Sound isolation between rooms is not very efficient. Could hear crackling floors from above and every step in front of my room door. Luckily it got rather quiet during night-time.
Location has good connections to bus and underground and is in a quiet road with not much traffic, which makes it rather silent. Breakfast had good enough selections and good tea and coffee. Staff at front desk was very friendly and swift to address any requests.

CanadaUpon our arrival I asked the male desk clerk for some additional bedding. He said no !!?? A second male employee arrived and provided the bedding. When I then requested an additional pillow - they both refused!!?? That’s never happed in all my many hotel stays. I rarely ask for things on my stays but refusing that simple request at checkin seemed very inconsiderate and resulted in a very bad first impression.
Great location. Very clean. Well maintained. The female staff were very professional, helpful and friendly. They had great customer awareness and dealt with requests thoughtfully.

AustraliaI requested an iron and was told it would be sent to the room but never arrived. There was no fridge in the room.
Breakfast was not a good experience. The restaurant was understaffed, and long queues. I had to clean a table for myself and family. On day 3 the service was changed to continental which was much better and more staff added to deal with the number of guests. We felt for the poor staff as they were doing their best.

GermanyThe room and especially the bathroom are in need of renovation. On the first two days the service at breakfast was extremely chaotic, although this seems to have now been dealt with by a change of management and serving a continental breakfast instead of full English. The lift operates strangely, sometimes going up to higher floors before taking us down.
The location in central London is excellent, the staff were very friendly and it was clean. Despite a few minor issues we enjoyed our stay.

Hungarythe breakfast! not the quality but the complete lack of organization. 3 people try to do everything. Welcoming the guests, clearing the table, refilling food, bringing clean glasses. Maybe you should not set the table, each guest can get cutlery and glasses. Then you just have to clear the table (1 person). Another task is to refill the food and plates, glasses and cutlery (1 person). A third receives the guests and seats them (1 person). give coffee and tea from a vending machine, not take them out to everyone. so this could be improved
