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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesThe street doesn't look safe but like everywhere you travel to, you need to be aware of your surrending and stay alert. Nothing happened to us at night, it was just a feeling.
Access to room: I was able to get to my room around 9am, which is unheard of anywhere you go! They lend me an adaptor Breakfast: I can't eat gluten and i had let them know beforehand. My first breakfast, they asked my room number and brought me a plate directly to my table with some GF bread. I truly appreciate that they had some on purpose AND that it I was completely separated from the main table where cross contanimation can happen. Room: So pretty! Underground / Train stations not far to get to main places in London.

United KingdomThe Black Lion Pub and Boutique Guest House exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. Our room was impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was delicious, served in a relaxed atmosphere, and catered to our needs. We would highly recommend this charming guest house and will definitely return for another stay in the future.

United KingdomNothing the Inn was "Amazeballs!"(according to my niece) but be aware like all central London Hotels it's a busy, busy city so it's quite noisy at night.
My sister and niece were going to Taylor Swift - it's only 4/5 stops to Wembley. Great continental breakfast and excellent comfortable bed. Clawfoot bath and sofa for chilling. They were sorry they could only stay one night.

United KingdomSadly no air conditioning in room and it was a very warm night. A fan was provided though and we did open the window but as we were facing the road it was a little noisy. My only other critique is that I prefer a cooked breakfast given the choice but we were only offered continental which was adequate and wouldn't deter me from staying again.
Loved the character of the building. Staff very friendly and courteous. We actually arrived 2hrs early so decided to have a bite to eat in the bar whilst waiting for our room. No sooner had we ordered when one of the staff told us our room was ready which was great! Room lovely, everything looked new. Absolutely spotless!

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn’t like. I would only mention that it was very hot in the bedroom but a fan was provided which helped cool it down as there was no air con so not an issue for us. The area was pretty lively when we got back late at night so would be an idea to walk in a group if possible.
Beautiful furnishings in a beautiful building. The decor is so well thought out and room 11 that we stayed in was very spacious with lots of lovely touches. The continental breakfast was really nice and a great way to fuel up for exploring London. It’s a quick and easy walk to the train and tube station.

The Black Lion is a really beautiful old pub with the most amazing bar area.

What a surprise. I needed a hotel or Bed and Breakfast near to Wembly Stadium for the Bruce Springsteen concert. I was a bit wary of the pub's location on the Kilburn High Road, but what a wonderful surprise. The Pub is a grade two listed property that has been completely renovated to a very high standard. My room was really well decorated and very clean with a new bathroom. The breakfast which is continental was first rate and the staff excellent. Oh and the beer is real beer. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to attend Wembly Arena.
