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 water in the shower did not get very hot! This could definitely be looked at considering the price of the room.
Location was fantastic, bang in the centre of the Latin Quarter which meant we could pop back to the room to drop off shopping or pick up a jumper with no bother. The rooms are small but nicely decorated and we recieved a lot of information well in advance about accessing the hotel via narrow staircases and loud noise from the bars at night so we were well prepared for this. As it turned out, we found that by closing the window and the secondary glazing, most of the noise was significantly reduced - ear plugs were provided but we did not use them. This is not a room for spending time in but a great base for exploring a great city. Dog friendly and we were offered a dog bed and bowl when we checked in. Breakfast is continental, buffet style, all was tasty and service great. Parking was close by at Spanish arches, less than 5 min walk from the hotel.

United KingdomWhilst the room was comfortable, as a boutique hotel space was limited which is understandable. The central location necessitating earplugs at night was unexpected, although the musical nightlife was all part of an incredible experience.
The central location was fabulous, and the history of the hotel was very interesting.

United KingdomThe stairs! We have stayed at the hotel before, and knew the layout of rooms. We are both elderly and asked specifically for room 5, which was on the middle floor. This request was confirmed by the hotel, and we paid in advance of arrival, however the day before we were due to travel we received a message saying that the room we reserved has been allocated to someone else in error., and we were put on the very top floor. This made our stay really difficult as we struggled to climb the 54 steps 3 or more times per day. Would not stay here again for that reason

United KingdomNot a problem for us but the hotel is next to several bars, which you can hear despite the double windows so if you are looking for peace and tranquility and are not interested in the night life then be prepared.
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Superb location right in the centre next to great bars and restaurants. The staff were helpful and polite and although the rooms are small they are comfortable enough. Breakfast was included and had a good variety to suit most people.
