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.).

GermanyNone - it was a great experience
We loved the historic charm of the building, its wooden panels, the classic british interior and antique furniture. The room was super comfy and very clean! The staff was very friendly and we always felt welcomed. There might nothing better to start the day with a typical english breakfast in the park lounge and for the evening having perfectly mixed cocktails at the stables bar always surrounded by great art.

United KingdomWe had some difficulty getting back to the hotel later in the day to collect our bags due to a protest march, though nothing to do with the hotel, unrelated to our stay.
Hyde Park is right outside the hotel's front door, we had a junior suite which also had a view of the park. The room was very uniquely designed and luxurious. The staff were really good, helpful with anything we needed and friendly. In the morning we went for a run around Hyde Park which was one of the reasons we wanted this hotel. We were going to go elsewhere for a breakfast/brunch but decided to have breakfast at the hotel instead and it was a really good breakfast. We headed off into London for the day across the park on hired bikes and the hotel agreed to keep our bags safe for us as we were leaving that evening and didn't want to carry them about. Overall very happy with the hotel and experience, highly recommended.

United KingdomWe have stayed at the Milestone on various occasions for the last 20 years and there is always a very warm welcome. The staff are incredibly helpful and always greet you with a smile, nothing is too much trouble. Our room for this stay was beautiful and extremely comfortable. The whole hotel is beautifully decorated and kept to a very high standard. We had afternoon tea on Sunday afternoon, we often visit the hotel just for afternoon tea and we can honestly say it is one of the best in London. We have sampled many many afternoon teas in top London hotels but the Milestone's is always very good compared to some others. The welcome biscuits in the room were absolutely delicious, breakfast was also top notch. We will of course being staying at the Milestone again in the future, just can't fault it.

United KingdomThe bar prices were very steep but perhaps that is just us not being used to London prices and the cocktails were fabulous. There was no bar tariff on the mini bar that we could locate so we were put off using this facility.
The stand out for us was the quality of the team. The Hotel was Beautiful and attention to detail was amazing.

The staff - in particular, Steve the doorman - were outstanding. We were made to feel like the only guests in the hotel. It was also the quietest hotel we’ve ever stayed in!! Once inside our room, we literally didn’t hear a sound. A handwritten welcome note from the hotel manager, awaited us in our room. A lovely touch. The Stables bar was small, cosy and served great cocktails.
