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.).

Easy to find with plenty of parking and very close to the tube station. There were lots of cafes, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The staff were really friendly and the room was well equipped, clean and spacious. We were warned about the live DJ on a Saturday night and it was definitely as noisy as expected, even with earplugs in. However, we love 70s, 80s and 90s dance music and really enjoyed it. Saturday nights are best avoided if you don't. It's a shame we'd had such a long day & were too tired to go down and join in as it sounded like fun!

United KingdomQuite noisy in the pub until closing time - slightly irritating if one is trying to get to sleep. Room not made up during a two night stay (which was fine) but it would be nice if at least the coffee/tea/milk etc could be replenished.
Good sized room and bathroom. Easy to find. Good parking. Nice pub atmosphere with a good selection of beers.

The room was really clean. I saw the cleaner as I left and she was really polite and asked how my stay was.

United KingdomRooms great but could do with a little more lighting (around mirror/desk area) also coat hooks behind door, for winter coats, as no room in hanging space for bulky coats. We just had to leave them in corner on floor.
Location was great, the breakfast was amazing (far to much though for me) could do with the option of a smaller full breakfast "maybe 1 of everything instead of 2" staff very pleasant & helpful too

United KingdomCheck in could be in a quieter area and not at end of busy bar. Clearer signs to indicate where checkin is. Decor in hall ways to room needs touch up.
The breakfast time was between 8 - 12. So we sauntered down at approx. 10.45. The breakfast was great -hot freshly cooked. Unfortunately no poached eggs available and all drinks removed at 11.30 so only had one mug of coffee. Maybe an idea to shorten time to 11 30 so staff have time to set up for lunch and paying guests aren't left disappointed

LatviaWe spent 4 nights at the hotel and experienced different levels of hospitality. From super kind to cold and formal. Fortunately, the last day ended with a kind service, which is also better remembered.
Very good location, close to Underground to London. The premises are clean, pleasant, without ambition. Two pillows of different hardness, super. USB chargers at every outlet. Good english breakfest or toasts. Eating English breakfast four days in a row was a challenge. At the same time, being in the country, the local cuisine should be used. We will surely have enough English breakfast for some time, no matter how delicious it is.
