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.).

United KingdomBathroom was one of those plastic units you install in a room. Felt claustrophobic. Bed was noisy even for just one person not moving much. No side table or anything near the headboard to leave phone, glasses, etc. No requests for ID on check in, and employee was asleep in the living room on check out at 8am
Good location

South AfricaIn the Annex rooms the beds are essentially hostel rooms. There is no kettle. The bathroom was bleak. Once we moved, the main hotel room had a kettle. Beds were only moderately better and bathroom was basic
The staff allowed a £15 upgrade as the Annex part of the Hotel is only one step up from a hostel

United KingdomWe paid extra for a private bathroom, but it was absolutely pointless. The shower did not work, and my son tried to use the shared shower, which also did not work. The bathroom was so small it was incredibly difficult to manoeuvre in, and the door did not shut properly. Given one bed was right next to the bathroom door, and there was no room to move in the bathroom without risking the door flying open, we decided against using the bathroom. I really would advise against the extra expense of a private bathroom as it is barely usable, and definitely do not have any expectations of being able to wash!
It was quiet, so I was able to sleep reasonably well without being disturbed by other guests or anyone outside, which was appreciated. The staff were pleasant.

United KingdomOur room was situated in the basement, which was suitable for our purpose as we primarily needed a place to sleep after attending the New Year's party. However, it's worth noting that the property itself is quite old. Nothing fancy. It didn’t have a lift. It wasn’t as clean as it could have been.
The hotel offers a basic experience with minimal amenities in an aging property. However, its prime location stands out as a major advantage. Ideal for those seeking a no-frills stay close to key attractions like Piccadilly circus, Leicester square. The staff was lovely, very kind.

United StatesWhen we arrived it took 10 minutes for someone at the front desk to arrive to check us in. We were opening various doors saying “hello?” hoping we could find anyone. If you’re going to have an associate away from the desk for stretches of time, you should at least have a way to easily page them so they know. guest is at the desk. The room is a sad yellow and you could feel every spring in the mattress. It was nice that there was a sink in the room but the dripping sound it made after the faucet turned off was so untenable that and went on for so long that we never used it again. If you want something cheap, are going to be mostly out and about, and don’t mind a springy mattress, this will do, but you really do get what you pay for.
The location was good and it was very cheap.
