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 StatesBreakfast food was disappointing - cold toast and over-done fried eggs.
Hotel is ideally located for visiting the main Westminster locales. The room was comfortable, well-appointed and very clean. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

The lovely boutique hotel had a fabulous location, it was clean & had everything we needed for our stay in London. It’s had great transport facilities nearby to explore London. Buckingham Palace is a 5 minute walk away with St James Park. Great eating palaces near by and not as hustle and bustle as some parts of London.

United KingdomThe tech was so high that it was largely impenetrable. It took me ten minutes to figure out the lights, heating and then how to work the 'do not disturb' indication, for which I eventually had to ring reception. The point of high tech is to be helpful and time-saving. Here, good old fashioned light switches and a cardboard sign to hang on the door would have saved me a lot of time and irritation. Also, the reception staff had no idea what I meant when I asked for a VAT receipt on checkout. This was a first; do they never get business travellers? I then had to wait ten minutes for someone to come up from 'the office' who still couldn't provide one, and eventually had to wait till they emailed it to me. Which they kindly did, but the experience of trying to explain what a VAT receipt was, in a 5-star hotel, was rather bizarre. Finally, the exterior labelling is so subtle as to be invisible. I walked past it three times.
Lovely, luxurious, quiet, high-spec hotel in a great location. Gorgeous breakfast, comfortable beds.

United KingdomCouldn't book late check out even when booking 3 months prepay in advance...i asked regularly in that 3 months for the option to be.i was told they could only decide on theday...it.was not available on day...i wanted late checkout till 2pm to get ready for a special once in a lifetime function nearby at 3pm.which required a special dress code. We changed into our special clothes in their toilets...nice toilets but not the point & the inability to extend by 2 hours was disappointing for 5 star venue....They also sent an email pre stay asking what little thing they could do to make the stay perfect & special...but I had already been asking for 3 months to have late check out and explained why. I responded to prestay email with repeated request...still not able to do....so why bother asking..' How can we help?'... We got a good advance price for this stay via booking.com...but that was still alot of money. We prepaid, so I wonder if late bookers who pay higher rates get the late checkout priority as terms say where 6 it is charged at 50% of stay rate? So my pre pay would not have been of most £ value to hotel? ...this stay was for us to be in london for a very special event...so a very special treat to stay...we paidafair price....but the no late checkout stress & for me I will not stay there again.
Location...staff esp Bar gentleman from morocco..decor. Stored our luggage safely after check out. Best eggs benedict ever tadted...perfect eggs

United KingdomThere was no iron in the room and as with many hotels, the lighting isn’t the best when trying to apply make up.
Wonderful staff - kind, helpful, attentive and provided a personal touch. We were also offered a complimentary drink at the hotel bar with our stay which was a lovely gesture. The bed and pillow was incredibly comfortable, the television doubled as a mirror & allowed chrome casting from phones/tablets and the lovely bathroom even had underfloor heating. Incredible location, within a 5 minute walk of a tube stop, lovely cafes, The Ivy and Buckingham palace. Also within close walking distance of Westminster Abbey, Southbank and Covent Garden. A perfect stay - I highly recommend

CanadaStrangely enough, they didn't have a collapsible luggage rack. First hotel I've been to without one. Very minor point Restaurant was very busy when we visited. But it looked like one person at the front bar was doing the job of 3 people. He was very good at making everything work, but was obviously doing more than should be reasonably expected of him. Top marks for efficiency and hard work -- I hope they don't burn him out because he was very good at his job and extremely pleasant to everyone.
Room was amazing. Clean bright, fully stocked. Handsfree light switches and heated bathroom floors. Beautiful decor, safe neighborhood, great security setup. Beautiful bathroom, very polite staff. This place means business when they say 5 star. This is my new favorite London hotel.
