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 didn't like the old-style coil mattress, but the staff kindly got me a mattress topper that solved the problem.
The hotel is beautiful and the service by the staff is impeccable! I had a small room and the red decor was a bit much for a long stay like mine, but there was every amenity in the room, decent sized bathroom with rain shower and bath tub. The room even had a sitting area, which was surprising for a small room like that. Breakfast in the hotel is very expensive and there are no "small breakfast" options (like just coffee and pastry), and you'll find better options across the street (Gail's and English Tea Rose are recommended). But if you want a proper big breakfast, then prepay before your stay. The bar, afternoon tea and restaurant are all great (if expensive). And the location can't be beat! Across the street from Buckingham Palace and close to Victoria station (tube, train station, coach station and bus hub), so you can get everywhere quite fast.

Completely above par. Everyone was courteous and attentive. The staff was very helpful in every way and accommodated our request (which were not many) quickly.

United KingdomCooked breakfast was too fast coming out, we didn’t have time to eat our cereals before it came Next time we will book direct with the hotel as we thought the room was very small and for booking. Com customers only I’d rather pay the extra I think the service charges are over the top as we pay it on every order, so if we order six brinks there’s only one service charge but if we order three times there’s three sevice charges, sorry but it all adds up

United KingdomSee above
everything was quite brilliant with the exception of the food. Like many places today, they seem to have forgotten how to serve food hot. The Indian restaurant had fantastic staff but the food was served on a cold metal tray and was warm at best, and further aggrivated by the aircon. Breakfast on the first morning was cold bacon, and eggs and warm sausage served on cold plates. The second morning we just had fruit juice and toast...for £35 each !!!!

United KingdomThe lift was broken, there was no fridge in the room and the shower gel, shampoo etc had been attached to the wall so high, if you were in the bath and needed it you would have to stand and stretch to reach it. The hotel is a bit dated and in need of a refurb.
The location was excellent for what we wanted to do.

United KingdomNot really worth the money paid £520 for the night The extra for the view was really non existent as we were to far along to look on the mews No fridge in the room sockets only one side of the bed difficult to plug in the kettle Despite being aware of a 60th birthday no effort was made to a knowledge this Oh and the light in the bathroom was hanging out the ceiling. Would stay again but with lower expectations.
Very clean and very well located The serving staff at breakfast were very good indeed. The front of house also very good indeed Bed super comfy
