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 KingdomI wish that the room I had was not on the top floor!
I didn't realise that my single room was on the top floor. I have mobility issues, so that was a bit of a hindrance. (The staff took my bag up, luckily). Room had everything I needed including a very clean, comfy bed. I did not have a cooked breakfast, but the cereal and yoghurt with fruit was just fine.

Czech RepublicReally uncomfortable and loud sofa, as we had a family room. Poor breakfast.
We didn't have high demands as we didn't spend much time in the hotel. It met our expectations. We felt safe in the area of the hotel and the staff were really friendly. They let us checkin earlier for free. Our room was quite big, but situated in the basement so we could hear the tube very often.

United KingdomA little bedside lamp would have been helpful, as I had to keep television on late at night for the light, when getting up to switch off the main central light. The Drape on the window didn't extend straight across the window, it seemed to be stuck. Overall, a lovely hotel and would want to stay there on my next visit.
Blue Bells Hotel is lovely, and staff so helpful. I had a single room, a little small, but knew that when I booked. I hadn't stayed in Notting Hill before, so a new experience and it is lovely there and easy to get to the West-End using the buses. There was a lot on offer at Breakfast time, and being Coeliac they provided me with Gluten-Free Bread. I felt at home there and would definitely stay there again and it was good value for the cost.

IcelandThe noise from the underground wasn't ideal but we could manage it just fine. We at least didn't lose any sleep over it. I wouldn't pick this hotel if I needed complete silence. But then again I wouldn't go to London in the first place :)
Stayed over for 5 nights in total and had the best time! The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfy and clean, and the location was just ideal for visiting the the most popular sights.

Friendly staff who were accommodating and kind. The location is excellent. Very close to tube stop and cafés. Very clean room and quiet to sleep there. Basics are all there such as TV, breakfast, shampoo.

SpainAs a suggestion: an extra toaster could make lines in breakfast shorter ;) I don't know how they enter, but I had kind of an issue with big flies in my room. But I let the staff know and the next day it was solved. Not a big deal any case and not something related to them.
Clean and comfy, exactly what I was looking for, no luxuries. I usually enjoy very much the breakfast in my travels and this one was not super great, continental but with the basic options. It was okay, tho.

BulgariaThe breakfast was just fine without too much choice but my family was just fine. My kids and husband were happy about it. I was having just a tea as usual. Could be some lemon for it provided. Also, the sound of the tube was there but nothing really disturbing being on the second floor.
The location is perfect to feel the London spirit without the crowd of turists. Clean hotel, every other day we were provided with new towels. Staff was frendly and helpfull. We were checking 30 min later then the hour but already were sent a message from the hotel how to open the door which had a code.
