Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Really good hotel for this price. Three minutes to a metro station, very easy to get to the centre of London. The rooms were great, we had a kitchen and a washing machine. The people working there were really friendly. Was a very luxury stay, will come again next time

Very nice flat, centrally located. Friendly staff, always approachable and helpful. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need for breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended - especially when you compare it to the usual accommodation in London.

CanadaI didn't like that they charged 250 pounds security deposit though I had notice of that when I booked. I asked for the person at reception the day we left to come to the apartment to check that there was no damage and process the refund immediately and that was done. A few minor glitches - some hinges on cupboards were loose. The washer drier didn't really dry but these were minor issues.
Wonderful location - a few minutes walk to Earls Court Station and other amenities. The room was a studio suite so just a partition between the bed and the rest of the apartment. Bathroom very small however when we arrived we were given a suite with a bath and we had asked for a walk in shower. We mentioned this to the reception person Amin and he changed our suite to one with a walk in shower and we were happy with that. We didn't ask for cleaning while we were there. The suite was clean on arrival

South AfricaThere were a few minor maintenance issues in our apartment which we reported to the very helpful staff. I am sure these will be resolved.
This is the second time we have stayed at Templeton Place. The apartments are well equipped with all we needed to to self-cater. The apartments are well situated, within east walking distance from Earls Court tube station. The Piccadilly line will take you from Earls Court to Heathrow with no changes. There are many restaurants, fast food outlets and convenience stores along Earls Court Road and a Tesco Superstore within easy walking distance. Well situated for visiting the museums in South Kensington.

SwitzerlandHousekeeping staff 1 of the 3 staff we saw during our 6 days was not very friendly. The other 2 more than made up for the terse/sour expression of the 3rd. Everyone has a choice in the the tone and pitch they chose to speak/answer others in....language is not a barrier, a simple smile or nod is all it takes. I did not enjoy being made to feel a nauisance when politely asking a question - on several occassions. Having said this her colleagues stepped in to assist in replacing towels(after 4 days) and and were very very nice. My family and I did our best to avoid frosty.
Well appointed location, 24hr reception desk offered feeling of safety for late check in. Very nice reception staff.

AustraliaHad some problems using and getting use to the washer and dryer but reception came to help. It was very warm in the room (mid-Sept 2023) despite central cooling but we appreciated that reception come to set up and turn on the mobile air conditioner which was in the room. We used this for our whole 4 night stay. Wasn't keen being greeted with a large sculpture which depicted a figure with a pistol pointing straight towards the front entrance door in the foyer.
This accomodation was great value - it is well located on a pretty and quiet residential road, just one street behind the main road which had lots of shops eg eateries, supermart, pharmacy etc and buses. It was a pedestrian-friendly easy flat kerbed walk from Earl's Court station to the aparthotel. I believe there is direct train access from Heathrow on this line (comfort level depending on your luggage quantity and the time of day crowds). We opted to take the Heathrow Express to Paddington and then a cab to the hotel and when we left we booked an airport shuttle van from Kensington Car Services (near the shops) which gave great service door to door. From Earl's Court (Zone 1) on both District and Piccadilly lines and it is easy to travel into the city for tours and sightseeing. The reception desk was manned 24hrs which we appreciated and a lift took us to up to 1st floor. Our room had a comfy bed and soft lounge sofa and chairs, a writing desk, small dining table and chairs and an equipped kitchen with microwave, stove and fridge plus a washer cum dryer. This was in the middle of our 3 week vacation so we really appreciated that we could wash and dry our clothes! The ensuite was modern and clean and had a bath plus a walk-in shower. The room was spacious and located at the front of the building and had big windows looking out to terrace and street and homes across the road.
