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...).

United KingdomRequested a Twin room twice on booking but still allocated a non twin room on arrival but was sorted straight away (this needs sorting out on booking.com so it doesn’t continue to happen) , also when asking housekeeping to come and make the sofa bed nobody turned up so on arriving back to the room at 10:30pm nothing was done and no spare bedding or anything to even make it up ourselves although on asking reception they first said “oh get you some extra towels” and was like that’s no good I need bedding! Was sorted in the end.

IrelandThe room was extremely dark with a tiny window and decor was very dated. Hotel bar was quite bright and airy but was generally empty. Unfortunately did not enjoy the bar as was not very welcoming hotel bar. Service charge of 12.5% added on to every bill even if go to bar to order and bring the drinks to table!
The location was good and reception staff very nice and helpful.

United KingdomThere was a slight misunderstanding when we checked out regarding the £100 holding fee that they ask for when you check in but it was delt with swiftly and efficiently.
I booked this hotel for my partners 40th birthday and it didn't disappoint!! The location is good, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the decor is gorgeous. I emailed ahead and arranged for balloons and champagne in the room when we turned up we had balloons, champagne, rose petals and a card! I was so touched by the effort that went into it all. The room was lovely, we had an amazing view of the British museum and the bed was very comfortable indeed. We loved the Nespresso machine and the hotel Toiletries. There were slippers, dressing gowns and water replenished every day. Breakfast was delicious and we've already booked to stay again. Very happy customers!

United KingdomBreakfast was a little expensive. One of the lifts wasn’t working, so we had to carry our bags down the stairs.
First impressions of the hotel were very good, beautiful building. FOH staff were kind and friendly. Our room was a good size for London, with a seating area and views of the street, great for people watching! Waterfall shower was amazing, best shower I’ve had in a long time! The room was quiet, bed comfortable, provided with a fridge and safe. Location of the hotel was perfect for west end shows and exploring the city. Gentlemen on concierge was very helpful, when leaving the hotel and flagged down a taxi. Great stay at this hotel and would definitely return.

United States of AmericaRooms were a bit small. The first room I had was cramped and on the street. I asked to be moved, which they cheerfully accommodated. The second room was much better.
The location was perfect for a family vacation. Being so near a Tube station made getting around quite easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great- nice selection, high quality food and friendly service.
