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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThe wifi was hard to figure out as I don't use the TV and that's where the password was. Then when I did get connected, it didn't work.

The staff are always very helpful and efficient. My dog is always made welcome . It’s a beautiful part of London which is very central but relatively quiet with very good transport links and isn’t overly gentrified so still has an authentic feel . I used to work near the meat market and it holds fond memories too .

United KingdomWe didn’t like how much plastic and disposable cups that were used in the restaurant. We would have preferred proper crockery.
The breakfast was different from other hotels we’ve stayed in, but it was very good. The room was very spacious, clean with plenty of storage if you needed it. The beds were very comfy, we had a good nights sleep. And the room was spotless, so a very big thank you to your housekeeping team.

DenmarkIt would be nice if the bathroom had some kind of ventilation, so the room didn't get so damp.
Clean, relatively spacious, close to shopping (Tesco's) and cafees and close to both buses and trains. Staff really helpful and friendly. Easy to get to from Heathrow via the Elizabeth line. The apartment had everything we needed. Nice, small gym. Perfect place to stay 😁

United KingdomI stayed at Citadines Barbican London for one night and had an amazing experience! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We were able to drop our bags off early, check in smoothly later, and even got a free upgrade to a deluxe studio. The room was spacious, clean, well equipped and had great lighting, AC/heating. The location is perfect as it is just a 2 minute walk from Barbican Station with easy access to Central London, plus loads of restaurants and even a Tesco Express nearby. Late checkout made the whole stay even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!
