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...).

United StatesNothing.
This property is amazing from the moment we stepped out of the cab until the moment we left! The rooms were perfect, clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning was wonderful. The rooms were very quiet. We had 2 rooms right next to one another. The shower was great! The concierge was so helpful, and made great recommendations. We had a little hiccup at the end where we extended our checkout by an hour the night before, but the staff hadn’t communicated it to morning staff, but they were gracious and it wound up not being a problem. The location is very central and you can walk to restaurants, the theater and shopping. Can’t recommend highly enough.

United KingdomWe asked for an early check in and that wasn’t accommodated which is unfortunate since we had 3 kids under the age of 5 who were all desperate for a nap. We arrived at 8.30 am and requested a 10/11am check in but ended up checking in at 3pm which was rather painful.
Fantastic location with great artsy rooms, great restaurants and bars in and around the hotel and friendly staff.

United KingdomNomad London is perfect for a luxurious pampering well located in the heart of the theatre district (but a quiet part!) of London near Covent Garden. The decor is fantastic, the staff incredibly hospitable and attentive, and it is sometimes hard to leave this cozy and incredible hotel to go outside and enjoy the rest of London! I highly recommend the Library bar for cocktails either before theatre or at the end of a long and delightful day sightseeing. Our new favourite London hotel!

TurkeyBreakfast and the rude person serving it, so we had to find alternative place to have our breakfast not to run into him again, even though we had paid for the whole stay and the restaurant was very charming.
Location (next to Covent Garden), charm (charming old building), ambiance (restaurant is popular in the evenings), room (beautiful), cleanliness, front desk, Christmas decorations, Fruit basket that was waiting for us in our room. Upgrading my mum to a beautiful suite. most things about this hotel is perfect.

MongoliaThe place is too dark. Upon entering the hotel in the evening, it took several seconds before I activated my night vision. In the restaurant, an atrium which is quite lowell lighted in the daytime, is so dark I could hardly read the menu. At an 11:00 a.m. business meeting held in the red themed lounge, it was difficult to read typewritten documents.
Quality of the staff, location, style, decor and furnishings of the rooms.
