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.).

New ZealandExpect a workout on the stairs as accommodation is on top floors but the view at the front on the top floor is worth it. Air con not functional but prop the windows open if you can and use a noise app to cover street noise and it all works well.
Awesome staff, fabulous food, great bed and bathroom facilities, fantastic in house food discount for guests.

NetherlandsOn the first night, we couldn't open the windows, and the AC wasn't working, making the room uncomfortably hot and stuffy. As a result, I didn't sleep well. However, the next day, the staff promptly fixed the issue, and everything was perfect from then on.
This place is an excellent choice for a weekend in London. The price-to-quality ratio is fantastic. Although the room was above a pub, we didn't hear any noise at all. The room itself is spacious, featuring a large bed and a comfortable shower. I would definitely stay here again!

CanadaFacing to the street , it is noisy. But was able to sleep except 1 night . It was toi much noisy
The bed and pillows was very comfortable. To go to the main attraction in Center of London it takes 15 minutes by bus or 30 to 40 minutes walk. Just a corner there is a little store to buy food for breakfast or light lunch. The room is located over the pub. The restaurant is good. The personel are very nice. There is a discount at the restaurant for the client of the hotel.

AustraliaI’m just being lazy, but there were a good 3 flights of stairs to go up (but I was very grateful that the staff carried my 20kg bag up for me when we got there!)
Very helpful staff! Place is very aesthetic and comfortable. Perfect for what we needed to explore the city! Easy to get to the Kennington tube station which is easy access to everything you need. We really loved our stay!

United KingdomThe manager was really kind and helpful on arrival, as we were too early to check in she took our bags and coats and hung them up in our room. She very kindly gave us a key allowing us to have our day and evening as planned as the pub closed early on a Sunday and we were going to the Theatre. My only negative was a member of staff who made me feel like he either didn't want to be there or generally hated life and people itself and was rude, it was really odd when the manager was the polar opposite.
Upon arrival we had a late breakfast which was delicious. The pub itself is lovely and in a really nice location. The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures, a really impressive room. The bed was so comfortable and huge! The room had everything you could think of including the bathroom with lovely shower gels etc. I will definitely return. It felt like luxury.

United KingdomSlightly noisy Road but it’s London! Initial entrance to where rooms are is slightly underwhelming but rooms themselves are lovely.
Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Great beds, excellent rainfall shower, nice toiletries and coffee machine also good. Overall given current London hotel prices we thought this was a bit of affordable luxury just a couple of stops outside central London.

Germanyno problem for us, but can be a problem if you’re travelling with not too close friends: the shower has a wall made of glass, there is a curtain you can close, but it’s not very private, so be sure who you share the room with ;-)
the beds were very comfortable, the room very nice and the staff very friendly. it’s fantastic that you get water, tea, nespresso and milk free at your room, so you can have your own fresh cappuccino in the morning (there’s no breakfast on weekdays), we loved that! it’s very easy to reach everything in London by underground or bus and the hotel is in a very nice neighbourhood, we always felt safe, even late at night when walking to the hotel. the pub is nice and has good food, so you never have to stay hungry when returning to the hotel after a long day in the city.
