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 StatesI liked everything! ( the pillows could be a little softer perhaps! But I would definitely stay there again!
The hotel is pretty, quaint, CLEAN and my room faced a beautiful garden/small park. Everyone who worked there went out of their way to be helpful and kind.

United KingdomVery little that we didn't like. The remote control for the fan in our room was broke on arrival, but the staff fixed this as soon as we reported it.
Great stay at The Portabello Hotel for my wife's 40th birthday. Excellent location in the heart of Notting Hill, and just 2 mins walk away from Core restaurant, where we had a lunch reservation. We stayed in a budget double room which was expertly designed, very clean and relatively small, but perfectly fine for our length of stay (1 night). The staff were helpful and we liked the honesty bar too.

United StatesNothing I didn’t like. Only to note the room was cozy and small. Well suited for 1 person, might be tight for 2 in terms of luggage storage and having space to unpack/pack.
Beautiful and well done interior design — both for the hotel common spaces as the room. Cozy and colorful. Great attention to detail. The hot coco offered with turn down service was a sweet touch. Lovely staff— kind and attentive. Beds are comfortable — shower was fantastic! Close to Nottinghale Gate Station (Circle, Central and District Lines) and a close walk to many delightful restaurants and shops Nottinghill has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomOur bedroom was on the top floor- it was cold and didn’t really warm up enough. It was incredibly cold weather so that probably didn’t help but despite looking cosy, it didn’t feel cosy which was a shame.
Good location, quiet residential street close to Portobello and Notting Hill- cab ride to the West End. Small boutique townhouse hotel, nicely presented.

SwitzerlandHaving to depart!
I love the Notting Hill area and stayed at the hotel many years ago. It has, in the meantime, been refreshed and the rooms are exquisitely done with antiques. The room was sunny and spacious, and gave onto a beautiful big park: so it was extremely quiet. The bed was like a soft cloud. Dimmable lighting. There was a huge bathroom with both a shower and a lovely big bathtub, and cuddly bathrobes in the walk-in closet. It was a bit pricey, but what isn't in London? It was certainly worth every Pound.
