Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomHard to fault at the price but the property did feel a little run down.
The location was perfect, just a short 15 min walk to the Excel. Tesco Express and restaurants near by and within 5 mins of a DLR station. Comfy double bed in a large room. Mary the host was superb and very laid back which I liked.

United KingdomWell it was a shared bathroom which was clean and had toiletries provided ! It was the fact that the sink tap was rather wobbly and that the shower hose had to be hand held as you shower due to it not having a working hose holder that worked.however thst is only minor things!
It was on an ideal location for going to the O2 arena with the bonus of going over the Thames by cable car!

United KingdomMy one-night stay in this private room was excellent! The room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. The location was also convenient to the Excel exhibition centre. The host (Mary) was incredibly responsive and friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property to other travelers!

IrelandNothing to criticize. You get what you pay for.
The room was clean, pretty basic but decent enough for short stays. Close to the tube station. Has a kitchen downstairs, can make yourself tea, coffee. Our host was pretty prompt in responses to our messages. We personally didn't have any contact with the host. But clear instructions were provided for self check in.

United KingdomBed was like a rock and has plastic sheet on mattress under main sheet. Very uncomfortable and noisy if moved around on bed. Went to use bathroom and there was poop on the toilet. No brush to give it a quick clean because let's face it, a smidge of poop can happen in a shared bathroom. Ventured to find the kitchen for a fork to eat my dinner and the kettle to make a drink. Again everything was grubby. Every surface needs a good wipe and I decided to switch off the light and back away. Cool looking bedside clock/lamp/phone charger but had no charge cable to plug it in. No plug socket there anyway! I had to.use my phone as a torch to turn off the main light by the door to get to the bed. After no sleep because of bed and my asthma reacting to the dirt I got up ready to prepare for.the day. Shower over bath crusted in timescale and the bath to stand in had brown water stains. I cleaned the bath before trying to have a shower. Floor around and under toilet was dirty and stained. Clean patch is where I put a towel.down to stand on after the my attempt to shower. Shower dribbles so unable.to.wash hair. I was then overtired, struggling to breathe and had yucky hair. I decided to leave instead of staying my 2nd night which meant a last minute booking costing me more money than I would have paid. Note that they do NOT take card payments. On arrival I was asked for cash or bank transfer and the details were sent to me. I will be honest and I have not paid for this room for either night. I did offer feedback directly and to go through customer services if the owner wished to discuss me making a payment but I have not had any contact from them to discuss further.
Owner lovely and welcoming. Bedding and towels white and clean. Heating works well.

EstoniaKitchen was full of moulded food, didn’t look like it had been cleaned for a very long time. The kettle also had a lot of scale so I suggest you don’t rely on any kitchen utensils or appliances.
Bedroom was nice and clean, bathroom also comfortable. Area wasn’t touristy at all so it felt unique and local.
