How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Germany1 review10“AWESOME”- • Business trip

There is no buffet for the breakfast which I didn't like. I didn't have any interactions with other guests as they were all very busy or concentrated on themselves. Although I paid the service fees while booking the room, the daily service fees were added to my last invoice. I had all of them remove and gave the tips I wanted to.
I stayed at the hotel in the mid of March 2024. The room was really nice, I have been updated before I even asked for it. The area is calm and I could join many tourists attractions very easily. The tourist bus stop is right at the corner. The breakfast is served thru 11:00 am, you can order what you want for breakfast. I enjoyed the mango juice. The restaurant also serves great food and I like the Ginger tea. The room is cleaned up every day. The service makes many rounds during the day through the rooms to make sure everything is fine, empty the garbage bin, air the room, close the curtains. The water pression is good, the heating and the AC work perfectly. The Shambhala bathroom amenities have a very strong smell. I had some issues with my computer, 1 IT-employee came to my room and had it fixed. Once again many times for helping me out.

Absolutely nothing!
Beautiful hotel in a lovely area of London. It's easily walkable to many different must-see sites. The staff is extraordinary! Kind, knowledgeable, professional, and always available to assist with any and all requests. My son and I had such a wonderful stay that we are already planning our next visit.

If any improvement is possible, the bathroom needs a makeup/vanity specific mirror and better/more controlled lighting. Also maybe an outlet for the hairdryer. I used the one in the bedroom. Breakfast staff was excellent the first day and mostly absent the second day.
I loved my room on the 5th floor. Beautiful natural light & high ceilings. The quietness of the room and neighborhood was much appreciated. The staff was very accommodating upon arrival & departure.

The only thing that left a bit of a bad taste for us was the hidden extra service charge that was put on our bill at the end. For a place that felt so client focused when we were there, we were left wondering whether this was overridden by personal gain.
Everything was thought of for a comfortable and welcoming stay. The welcome drinks and cakes were a nice touch. As was the friendly and personable service. The quietness of the room was lovely, even right next to the lift. Breakfast was superb. The location was fabulous.

From the moment we walked in, felt completely looked after, lots of little touches, that were not expected, like a welcome drink and complimentary nibbles in the bar in the evening before we headed off to our event. Nothing was a problem, all the staff were so nice and welcoming and breakfast the next morning was very chilled and food was delicious. Have already recommended to friends.
