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 StatesThe bar and lobby waiting areas are beautiful but the seating needs an upgrade. It has warn out furniture that is sunken in and difficult to sit in and get out of. The reception person had poor English speaking skills and it was hard communicating with her. We had to wait for our exact check in time with no consideration for an overnight flight and early arrival, but they did keep our bags while we went to a park and Churchhill's War Room. They said they would call when the room was ready, but never did. The service seemed less attentive than last July. There were times when there was no doorman out front. The Asian restaurant across the street always had trash scattered about, making the area look bad. There are quite a few steps you need to ascend to enter the hotel, so a heads up to people who cannot climb stairs. Also, the tub/shower is one with the half shower door. It is hard for a short person to step in and out of. Water gets splashed on the floor outside the tub. The staff did not seem asnhappy on this visit compared to our last visit. Sadly, we never got the Madelines in the room this time.
This was our third time staying here. The location is walking distance to the British Museum, TK Max, Soho and many other places. Dinner on the terrace was great. The room was clean.

IrelandOne thing which I didn’t like was when I was checking out and I saw they had added a discretionary charge for cleaning of your room which was £25 per day. I was a little vexed about this. I questioned what it was and was told it’s to help the staff out. I said a room at £425+ a night there should be more than enough room to pay staff accordingly and shouldn’t again be passed onto guests. I felt I had paid enough for my four nights which was in excess of £2000. I asked for the charge to be removed as I didn’t agree with it. Having your room cleaned is part of the Hotel experience.
The location of the Property is excellent. You have the Tube stations less than 2 mins walk which gives you access to London and the wider area like Heathrow. Rooms were really nice, staff were amazing there. You can see they take pride in their work. Maria the host during the Breakfast service was lovely.

The location is superb for my getting to all the places I needed to be in under ½ hour - and great ease to get to Gatwick. Moreover, the staff is super service oriented, friendly, thoughtful.

IsraelI forgot an electric toothbrush in the room, and was disappointed to hear that no one found it. The room was very small compared to the high cost
The hotel staff was very helpful when I needed it. The hotel's proximity to the Elizabeth Line, which is so convenient to get to and from the airport, makes the stay easier In any case, thanks to manager Asif Shalem

The staff at the hotel was so helpful and gracious. Our room was beautiful and very quiet. All of our questions were answered in a meaningful way. We would happily stay at the Bloomsbury the next time we're in London and would recommend it to anyone who wants an exceptional experience.

We really appreciated the bottles of milk for the coffee - such an upgrade! Many wrote here before me about the location, and it is indeed fantastic: so central and yet in a quiet alley, no noise from the street, plenty of restaurants around, easy access to transportation... Perfect!

SpainThe location is excellent! You're in the middle of the city walking distance to Convent Garden, Picadilly, Regent Street etc. But the hotel itself is quiet and cozy. Speaking of cozy I did book the cozy room for myself which was absolutely fab. And I guess for London standards it was quite big. Would be a bit too cozy for my taste to share with someone. The breakfast was delicious and the staff very kind, friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again!
