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 KingdomBeing on the top floor with narrow steep stairs when you have a bad leg, but that's circumstantial so no criticism of the staff or venue.
The staff were brilliant, the room was really nice, fresh and clean.

United StatesIt appears ownership changed from the time we booked our stay and the “breakfast included” was no longer an option. Tried to order room service as shown in the materials in the room, only to be told they don’t offer that any longer.
The rooms were updated nicely and were clean and comfortable. Food in the pub was very good

LatviaA cosy and quiet room – despite the busy street outside and the pub downstairs – featuring a (decorative) fireplace. It has an old-school feel: two taps over the sink, proper metal keys with a wooden tag instead of dull key cards (sadly, the manager said this feature will be gone by autumn, if I understood correctly – a shame), etc. Excellent location – many places in central London are within walking distance. Clean. Exceptionally friendly staff. The only downside was that they no longer serve breakfast (so I believe the “breakfast included” option should be removed from Booking). I booked the room back in January or thereabouts with breakfast included, and as it was no longer available, I was offered compensation options. I chose a pleasant dinner with a friend at the pub, on the house. All in all, I would highly recommend.

United StatesAll the stairs, one of my knees is not the best so 3 flights of stairs to get to your room or out to the city was a bit tough over multiple days
The staff were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the food was great, drinks were affordable, very clean despite being an older Victorian hotel.

United KingdomHaving to go up the stairs after a long day of walking around London, but it was better knowing the comfortable bed that awaited.
We were made to feel really welcome by the staff. It was a warm day, and they had prepared the room to be cooler than it would've been otherwise. The room was really high quality and very clean and comfortable. We had a great couple of nights in London.

IsraelThin walls. Could hear the next door guests talking and employees moving heavy objects early morning and at night. Not very close to underground station if you need it. The bar downstairs can get very busy. There is a separate entrance to the rooms but it can be crowded with people drinking.
Extremely friendly staff. Clean and comfortable beds. Roomy clean bathroom. Good quiet location but on Easter weekend it was a bit too quiet.. Close to bus stops which took us anywhere we needed. Short bus ride to most central sites and attractions.

RomaniaUnfortunately, this hotel has been the only one out of many hotels, from Kuala Lumpur to Venice, to Dubai, to New York, where I asked directly during my stay for an invoice on my company's name, and was not given one, instead being given an invoice on my own name! When speaking to the person in charge, I was asked for my company's data and I provided this un full.
Very nice hotel, with a pub at the ground floor, offering fast access to transport options.
