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...).

AustraliaAfter check out you can leave your bags at the reception but it’s a tiny space and guests come in and out so don’t leave valuable things.
The location is very good! So close to Earls Court station, with lift both at the station and at the property! Staff were friendly and helpful, we got upgraded to a better room, and were very happy and grateful as we just lost our luggages :(

United KingdomThe room was a bit small in some areas ie making it difficult to pass between the bed and the wall with the TV hanging on it. Although this was not a big issue for me.
Very clean and well kept with great attention to the furnishings, decor and lighting etc . It was marvellous located close to a number of Transport links to travel to and from major tourist attractions and shopping areas

United KingdomRooms were small, but we were expecting this. It was perfect for a quick overnight stay for a concert. I think the room would be a tad pokey if you were looking to stay for a longer amount of time.
Super clean, modern room. Clearly a new refurb, so everything was reflective of that. Comfortable stay and perfect for a quick overnight stay. Excellent location for Earls Court tube station too, about a 10 min walk if that.

IrelandNothing at all.
Staff welcoming and friendly. Room on entry was spotless and lovely towel fold on arrival. It’s ‘cosy’ but perfect for one/two people, I was on the second/third floor. Location amazing, 4 mins to Earls Court tube, in lovely area with plenty of quiet streets, garden squares. Direct access from Heathrow on Piccadilly Line - 45 mins to T2, and to the District Line. Highly recommend The Blackbird pub (3 mins straight walk) for breakfast. Did lengthy early morning walks to Thames, Battersea Park, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, 20 mins would get you to all locations. There for concert in Royal Albert Hall, easy walk to it. Hotel was renovated 2025, lovely building. En suite shower excellent, great water pressure. Kettle worked fine, staff provided extra milk n sugar 2 mins after asking. Rooms very well soundproofed, window opened for extra air to the rear and zero noise. Fantastic stay and hotel for a 1-3 night stay. Would return in a heartbeat, thanks so much to the hotel team and Booking.com.
