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 KingdomDidn't have the dish washing liquid. And I did request for extra duvet as soon as I booked but really did not get. We were sharing the bed but wanted extra duvets to use.
It was very homely and in perfect location. It was clean and just perfect.

United KingdomVery, very minor but could you put washing up liquid and tea towels in the kitchen - there was a dishwasher (with 2 tablets 😀) but we didn’t use it as we weren’t eating meals in the apartment. We bought some but it’s such a simple thing to not have in a fully equipped kitchen. A small hoover too maybe? There is an ironing board and a washing machine in a big utility cupboard but no hoover.
This was in the perfect location for us and the views were fabulous! We loved the space and it had everything we needed with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a great kitchen/living space. It was also a great place to unwind too. It was perfect for transport links (next to Waterloo) but also an easy walk to the Southbank, Tate Modern etc. We also felt very secure and safe in the apartment, with several locked gates/doors with key pads. Also very quiet, which is amazing in the middle of the city. We’ve already booked our next trip!

United States of AmericaOur first issue with the property was the fact that we had awful neighbors—not sure if they were staying there on vacation as well or if they’re permanent. They opened our door at one point when we had not locked it properly, then later in the night (around midnight) they rang our doorbell over and over again, banged on the door, and kept jiggling the handle. It made us all uncomfortable. Lastly, the unit only had a washing machine, not a dryer as well. Even though it is a 2 for 1 unit, the drying aspect on the machine did not work at all. Which left us scrambling to hang dry all of our clothes for 6 people.
Very spacious and clean! Plenty of room for 6 adults to stay comfortably for the weekend. Great location as well with access to Waterloo Station and great restaurants near by.

United Arab EmiratesNothing not to like about the apartment.
Apartment was well maintained, modern, clean, and big for a family of 7, very close to the metro, grocery stores, and restaurants. It is in central London so it is very accessible to all tourist attractions. Apartment had a very good view of London. Worth value for your money. We would love to go back and stay.

United KingdomChecking in was a bit annoying, as the key was not in the lockbox, which delayed time, though it was sorted out in the end. They were missing a few things, like dishwashing soap and a sponge; I understand they had a dishwasher, but I just wanted to wash things by hand and use them again and I couldn't... The couches were filthy, I didn't even want to sit on them, I had to use a pillow and sit on that, sort it out... The view could have been much better, we had a lovely balcony and our views were just work buildings and the back of Waterloo Station, really rubbish. However overall, would stay again.
Great size, loved the fact it had 2 toilets. It was clean, minus the couches! Beautiful large Balcony, living room, and kitchen- equipped with almost everything you needed. Plenty of storage and comfortable beds, just beautiful in general. Convenient for transport and shops, as Waterloo station is right outside, lots of buses & a Sainsbury's and Tesco is right across the street as well!

BulgariaIt wasn’t really clean and the couch smelled bad. There hotel took a deposit of 250 pounds one day before our arrival and no one told us about that. It was s little shady. Also the window was broken.
I liked the location because it was really close to Big Ben and to a lot of things. It was really warm and cozy in the apartment.

MalaysiaThe only issue will be this property is without a carpark. of course, this is limited to my knowledge of the property. slight inconvenience to offload and loading the luggage from vehicle. other than this, this is a good property to stay.
The location is excellent just right outside of Waterloo station. The property is clean and spacious for a London stay. Perfect for a family with kids or even couple stay with more space. Will definitely stay here again!

United States of AmericaThe only problem I had with it was the street noise. I had a very hard time sleeping because of it. The beds were so comfy, and everything else was great. I just could not sleep with the noise. The rest of my family slept just fine! We woke up to no hot water the first morning. They came within a few hours to fix it.
The apartment was a great location, right near the tube! There was plenty of room for my family of 5! It's a very nice place to stay! There are tons of places to eat and shop right around the apartment. Good walking distance to the eye of London area!
