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.).

We booked a triple bed room so our room felt a bit cramped but perfectly adequate for a short stay. Perhaps a mirror in the main bedroom area would be helpful.
Good location in central London. The room and en-suite were spotless. Staff were friendly and our breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed our stay.

Nothing, really. I've stayed here a couple of times before and I always have a good experience. I'd happily stay here again.
This hotel is in a great location. It's quiet, but within a short walk to many places of interest. It was really easy to get here from the airport on the Tube. Breakfast was tasty and the staff were attentive and kind. Everything was wonderful-thank you!

Our room ( number 19) had a window opening onto the street at ground level at the front. We had the window open as it was quite warm and street noise did wake us a couple of times. Perhaps a fan in that room to save opening the window? This is in no way a complaint, but perhaps worth considering.
Great location. Lovely welcoming staff, nice sitting room to chill out with free drinks. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. Room was clean, ensuite was small but had everything you could need. We had a small room with twin beds ( that I was aware of when booked), but it was more than adequate for our one night stay. Great location.

Offer fresh fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. No kettle in room. A free drinks vending machine in downstairs lounge doesn't make up for no kettle - vending machines offer poor quality drinks.
Breakfast was just average. Only cereals and a "full English breakfast" offered. No fresh fruit or yoghurt. Full English breakfast was limited. For example one day egg, beans, hash browns bacon & sausages & toast and the next day tomatoes replaced the sausages. Compared to other hotels limited in range of items.

The hotel is located in a very good area, close to Soho and to a public transport station. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast is not a buffet, but you have the option to choose what you want to eat. I will remember this for my next stay in London, very much recommended!

Missing kettle and small fridge. No cold water from the tap, warm water from both pipes.
Good location, very clean, towels changed everyday. The breakfast was very tasty and girls working in the dining were very polite. Excellent location, close to 4 tube stations and 10-15 mins walk to Covent garden. The room was small, and the wifi connection not so good. Also, isolation not so good since you hear the traffic

It was a little tired and lounge full of stuff so not as welcoming - felt bit more like a backpackers than a hotel. But once in the room, great. Some bottled water would be a nice touch.
Great location near Euston and UCL. Decent sized room, clean and comfortable with en-suite. Lovely breakfast - both continental and cooked available. Staff friendly and attentive. Offered to store luggage for day.

Soundproofing is non-existent. We could hear the person next door coughing, and you can hear doors open and close in the hallway very clearly.
The location is great for a short visit. Can walk many places, and there are coffee shops and restaurants relatively close. The check-in is early (1pm) which is great. The person working was very friendly.

Brilliant staff, great stay and so accommodating. I was running the London marathon and they allowed me to come back after the race and shower and collect my bags, I didn’t even ask to, they told me I could if I liked which was brilliant and just going above and beyond. Anything I needed they was more than happy to help. Thank you.
