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.).

GermanyIt's more like a recommendation. Breakfast could be unorganized a bit better... Use the bar for the coffee machines and add a third one to avoid huge queues infront. Probably there was an understaffing, food was empty quite often and the service couldn't fill up fast enough for all guests. Also it has to be ensured that the food is available, can't be possible that all pastries are out at 9.30am if breakfast is scheduled until 11am.
Very nice hotel and a fantastic room, great location to start the daily tour through London

United KingdomBoth the couples we were staying with got an upgraded room automatically we unfortunately didn't. I wasn't mad about the layout of the room I felt you would have to be quite comfortable with who your sharing your room with the toilet and shower room were separate but not very private. It was quite expensive for the size of the room. No water in the room apparently there are water coolers on certain floors not floor 2 were are room was not even a biscuit apparently that's a standard room for you 220 pound no water, biscuits, coffee machine not even a jug to fill if I wanted to climb the stairs to find a water cooler. They upgraded my family to nearly top floors unfortunately I couldn't get up to see them unless I walk up the stairs my keyboard only worked in the lift to second floor my family where on the eleventh. We would of asked to all stay on the same floor had we known this.
The breakfast area was very spacious. There were six of us and we all enjoyed the breakfast and the seating area. Lots of helpful staff nearby at breakfast and we never had to wait very long at reception even when it was busy. Staff very friendly, efficient and professional.

SerbiaStaff was great, especially BEN! He is a legend! Room was quite fine, but didn't like the fact that restroom and bath are very close to the bed, so if you have to go to the restroom in the night you will definitely wake up your family. Breakfast was ok, but some things were missing often, like ham. Not a lot of sweets. The cook who makes eggs is great!

IrelandThe shower flooded if kept on for too long as there was nothing to stop the water coming out, leaving the floor wet. The tv channel/lack of netflix/connectable devices.
The room was very clean and fresh towels every day. The refillable water was a very clever idea.
