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.).

The owner Shaz was so helpful and gave us useful tips and directions for finding our way around. The flat is located right near the river so we could jump on an Uber boat to take us into London and see the sights on the way!! Ideal location! Also we were able to park the car safely for free so that was a bonus!

GermanyThe bathroom is outside of the bedroom, so I had to be decent when I had to use it. But the owners do not use it, so it is private for me. The owners seem to fight a lot, so it could be a little noisy, this is something the owners should improve.
It is good value for money in London. The location is really great, close to subway, bus, and boat, and you can get to the main attractions in a short time. The owners are friendly, they also live in the apartment but there were not many interactions with them (most communications are done via whatsapp), so good for introverted people.

GermanyTransom Close is situated in a very good location, both central London and the O2 Arena (if travelling for a conference or concert). The hosts are extremely friendly and truly care about making the stay pleasant by, for example, helping with giving directions and pointing out good food places around. The room and private bathroom were nice, very modern and comfortable. A little chair to work at the desk would be great but everything else was great.

I recently stayed at Transom Close, which is a great option for those looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. The property is located in a decent area just off the Thames and opposite Canary Wharf. The hosts, Shaz and her partner, are a great couple and Shaz is a good laugh. Just don't upset the Landlord (a cute dog). The room was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were good. There was free Wi-Fi too. The property is also quiet, which was perfect for me as I was looking for a place to relax and unwind. Overall, I had a great stay at Transom Close. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. Here are some specific details about my stay: - The location was great. It was just a short walk to the Thames River and Canary Wharf, and it was also close to public transportation. - The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was also clean and had a shower/bath. - The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were always happy to answer my questions and make recommendations for things to do in the area. The facilities were good. There was free Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend Transom Close to anyone looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay in London. It is a great option for those who want to be close to the action but also want to be able to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet.

United Kingdomthe only thing to consider and be aware of is the distance from the tube - about 1km. For me it was ok - yet for others it might be a bit tiering. still it is very reasonable distance for people who live in London..
Very clean room and clean private bathroom - seems all newly built. Relaxing atmosphere in the room as host furnished it properly, practically and with neutral colours. The host allows optimal privacy and accommodated my needs respectfully. Felt completely safe. Keys and instructions were given at arrival without any issues. Nice residential area and host provided recommendations for near by places to see or dine at.

FranceThe mattress is a bit hard for me. The room's cleanness could be improved. It was a bit noisy during half an hour around 1am as the host's partner came back.
I booked the room at a promoted rate, so I'd say it is great value for money. The bathroom is very clean, but is not private. It is shared with the owner, I believe. The surrounding area is quiet and safe.
