Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomEverything was perfect however I would be a little concerned in the height of summer as there was no air con in my room. However this was not a problem during my stay in mid May.
Excellent standard of accommodation, cleanliness and attention to detail. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Location is perfect for getting around London, right in the centre but in a quiet street.

CanadaBreakfast was underwhelming! Bag breakfast which did not provide enough sustenance for one who was embarking on a busy day of sightseeing. Did not know if allowed to have more than one which would have been repetitive anyway. I left hungry and disappointed.
Staff were amazing, very personable, accommodating and eager to ensure a pleasant experience. Also allowed us to use luggage storage facility for the day even though we were checked out. Accommodations were very clean, shower was great.

United KingdomIt would be great to have 2 pillows each on the bed (or in the wardrobe). We always have to ask for extra pillows. Disappointingly, on our last visit, the chap on reception check in, was very much focused on conversing with my husband, but sadly, he did not engage with me at all. This was very uncomfortable and noticeable, and we wondered if this could be due to cultural differences. We have never experienced this previously when staying at this lovely hotel.
We stayed here twice in a month, the first time to attend a concert at The Barbican and the second time on the day of the London Marathon to support our son in law who was participating. The location for both trips was just perfect.... We had previously stayed here last year to go to the theatre, and once again, its location was exactly where we needed to be. It is now our 'Go To' London hotel. The rooms are spacious, and everything is ALWAYS spotless. We needed a fan, and one was bought to our room for us, and we were able to store our luggage (in the luggage store room) whilst we watched the marathon and collected it later which we were really grateful for.....We will definitely be back 😀

NetherlandsYou can hear the tube day and night, seems like it's running just under the hotel. In the room it's not enough of fresh air and the windows are locked. There is no toilet brush.
Very helpful and friendly staff, the room is very clean and in a good location.

United KingdomYou list the breakfast as being continental which we have enjoyed in the passed only this time there was no consideration for diabetics who should not have just jame or marmalade also not everyone likes yogurts you had not even made arrangements to have a toaster there or any thing different there was no meats or cheeses or little crusty cobs laid out like before and no cerials for those who are don't like or can not eat croissants as this is the only meal you provide it was a great disappointment

AustraliaVery surprisingly even though we were inthe 4th floor the building vertebrates the subway noise which goes underneath every couple of minutes. Thankfully the subway stops around midnight so we had a few hours quiet sleep.
Very good size room for London. Nice bathroom with good facilities. Staff were very friendly and the location for what we required was good.

United KingdomVery minor issue which didn’t bother us, as it was almost like white noise (perfect for some families!) but this could bother light sleepers - we realised we were directly above the Underground. Nothing can be done, again we did not find it a nuisance but some people might not like that.
Really modern, very clean and classic design.
