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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomAn alarm sounded which I thought was me setting the fire alarm off, but I think was to let us know we had to leave soon.
Everything was absolutely fantastic. This isn't the sort of hotel we frequent as it's on the higher end, but it was definitely worth it. The staff were exceptional and made us feel welcome and were incredibly kind. They accommodated us, looked after our luggage even after we checked out. They never made anything feel like a hassle. It felt more like a home than a hotel. Loved the dual shower and bath, and the his and hers sinks. Absolutely beautiful room.

United KingdomNothing to note really.
It’s very ornate and was a pretty hotel that was quiet. It’s very central to London Liverpool station and the heron tower where we planned breakfast, so worked great for us personally in terms of not having to drag cases around central London.

GuernseyThe air conditioning did not work well, it was very warm inside the room and the way the bed was placed, the pillows kept falling down between the headboard and the bed which was uncomfortable so we had to use the cushions to fill the gap.
It was a lovely quirky hotel and central to everything we needed, staff were also very friendly and helpful

United StatesMore surfaces to place trays for breakfast. The shelf space was minimal, aqnd the desk was the main one. Many of the chairs sacrificed plop-down comfort for style. Period pieces all, but not for modern sitters.

Hotel was in a great location, very close to Liverpool St, surrounded by restaurants, shops and just a short walk from Spitalfields Market. Lots of character in all the rooms, very happy with suite, comfortable, quiet and well appointed. Honesty bar is a great idea

Lovely hotel in a great location close to public transport and yet tucked away in a quiet location. Staff here were all fantastic - loved the tour before being taken to our room. Room was lovely - bath was incredible and the bed really comfy, although very high - I’m 5ft 3 and could have used a step up!
