Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The cost . Given one towel and had to hassle for extra. NO house keeping at all stayed 5 nights. The bed room was smaller than the bathroom Ok for a single and not double .It would be nice if the entrance was cleaned and garden maintained. Would make the house look more Inviting.
It was ok. Close to south bank but not the disabled

We weren’t impressed by the cleanliness of the bedroom as we found hairs all over the pillows and stains on the bed sheets. We were also only provided with one towel. The property is off a main road and it was very loud, as well as people coming in late at night made it a very uneasy sleep.
Close to public transport. We didn’t use any of the facilities other than the bathroom. Bathroom was reasonably clean.

The bedroom window was painted halfway shut, no doubt to prevent mildew etc from evaporative cooling. However the traffic noise can be horrendous. An additional ceiling fan or even portable room fan would help this situation in summer and give the room guest extra control over their comfort, as the evaporative cooling control is central to the whole household. House really needs an additional and bathroom separate toilet.
Absolutely spotless and freshly painted and new and bright inside. Room pictures were accurate for my room. Room 1. Nice furnishings and drapes. Small desk with chair. Bed reasonably comfortable. Very fresh. Kitchen nice. Good evaporative ( I think ) cooling.

To be honest, i believe this place is overpriced by 20-30 per night. It is a halfway house and it doesn't have a heat pump. Which means in the winter it will be freezing and in the summer, boiling hot. Its also noisy. Its a nice enough place, but for 140 a night, it is no where near that good.
They let me go in early which helped me out a lot.

Facilities were clean, apart from my sheets. Also bit worrying when ear cancelling buds were left in room, I did need them. Hot water was not very hot.
Good location. Sheets had stains on them. Other guest were very disrespectful. Very noisy and unhygienic. Contact person was very help full.

The building is a bit old, and it's more of a shared accommodation setup. There's a shared kitchen, but it would be better with a kettle and supplies in the room.
