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 KingdomThe lift was out of order and we were on the third floor. The porter didn’t point this out until we reached the first floor. This didn’t bother us, but we have many friends who just could not have made it to the bedroom. We didn’t see anyone attempting any repairs.
Room was compact, but this is to be expected in a city. The shower room was modern and very clean. The location was superb on the edge of Kensington Gardens. The breakfast was well cooked and tasty.

United Arab EmiratesThe room was very small it barely fit the bed.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Conor was very helpful as he tried his best to get us an early check in and Henan helped us with our luggage and checking out smoothly. The location of Hux is very convenient, it’s exactly opposite to Kensington Gardens and it has a bus stop right in front of it and a close by station. Hux’s interior design was very unique and exquisite.

SwedenNot a big surprise but the rooms are really small (Signature) and it was impossible to go around the bed so You have to move over the other person in it to come out. Very hot in the bathroom, felt that something was wrong with the heat from the mirror. Little expensive even for London. Some stale smell downstairs.
Great location Friendly and helpfull staff Comfortable bed Good (small) shower

United KingdomWe went to (6 of us) to the bar//lounge area downstairs as residents around 11:30pm. We were welcomed in warmly, but once we sat down, we noticed there was one man who didn’t seem to trust us as we looked through the drink’s menu. He wasn’t dressed in uniform, but more casual in attire. Looked at us as undesirables and if we were there to cause bother, in my opinion. We subsequently left and went up to our suite. Nothing was said, but he gave off a bad vibe.
Location, size of the apartment, rooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge area were of an extremely high standard. Top notch!

United StatesOnly the elevator was a little slow, and walking up the stairs sometimes is tiring, but other than that it was great.
I liked that the hotel was close by to many coffee shops as well as Hyde Park. The location of the hotel is excellent as it is on a very active street and a popular area. The room was clean, and I never had problems with anything. Definitely would recommend to anyone going to London in the future.

United KingdomHaving upgraded to the superior suite which boasted views of Kensington Gardens, in reality the view is of the hotel opposite. I also hoped there might be a bath.
The bar was fun and the free cocktail was delicious. Rooms are quirky but much smaller than expected.

Love the fully equipped suite, it has everything you need if you are staying for a few days or longer. Wish there was a separate toilet, or one more bathroom, cause four women sharing one bathroom was challenging!
