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 KingdomWe were not aware that we would be staying in a window less room which had absolutely no cheery decoration, pictures etc or that we would be sharing a bathroom, would have been good to have known when booking.
Location was perfect for what we needed, and email instructions were good and bed comfy

The room was very clean and bed was comfortable, it definitely ticked all the boxes I needed for my trip. It is also very well connected with the 108 running 24 hours a day about a minute walk either direction of the house.

United KingdomSurroundings are poor, a badly maintained Council estate. Whole experience is very basic: you would only stay out of necessity, for work etc. I had to catch an early train, and had to plan around the train strike. You let yourself in with key codes etc and don't see any staff.
Very good value, as a simple room near a crucial London transport hub. Room basic but very clean. Shared bathroom fine and clean. E-mailed entry instructions were clear. I slept OK.

United KingdomLocation superb for abba arena and access into central london.our room was spotless and couldn't fault it, however the place was not a hotel as I was led to belive it is a hmo with 3 long term lodgers shared kitchen. which made it uncomfortable to use the complimentary tea and coffee as I could only find 3 mugs . A shared bathroom on 1st floor with no complimentary shower gel but towels provided. Overall worth the money if you don't mind sharing facilities

But had read reviews and brought my own! Shared facilities is one thing, but again seeing ?longer term tenants bathroom products in bathroom wasn't nice!
Read reviews and you know what you're getting. Was great location for abba arena. Basic and clean. Owner was lovely and allowed us to store our bags early before check in.

United KingdomThe house is incredibly noisy with wooden floors and sticky doors meaning I was woken up ever time someone used the facilities. The bedside lamp had no bulb, so I had to walk across the dark room after turning off the light. Together, those two made for a really uncomfortable night akin to a stay in a dorm.
The location and price were great - easily accesaible by bus and very reasonably priced - and the communication from the host very friendly. The place was spotlessly clean too.

United StatesIt wasn't clear from the description that the bathroom is shared, and this bad surprise ruined the entire experience. When someone heats food downstairs in the kitchen, the room becomes filled with fumes. Opening the window let's the smell out, but let's bugs in.
Host Emma makes an aged building into a cozy stay. The location is impeccable, easy access to everything. Train goes directly to London ExCeL and City Airport with minimal cost. Couldn't be happier after discovering this gem with such a low price tag. Emma allowed me to leave my bags way before check in time (though this is standard with any standard hotel) so I can work during the day without dragging my stuff around.
