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 room looked tired and in need of some attention. There were stains on the carpet. The toilet seat was discoloured. There was mould around the bath and a number of fixtures were coming away from the walls, including the TV. It's a shame because we stayed a few weeks ago and the room was spot on.
The breakfast was amazing, great variety. Bed was comfortable. Room service was quick. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Although the room was small it was a good use of the space.

AustraliaI was initially llocated a room on the first floor. It was extremely noisy and carpet dusty and stained. I asked for another room the next day and was allocated to a better room on the 7th floor. Design layout was an improvement and also much quieter.
Room okay for 3 nights. Staff on check in and Concierge were excellent

AustraliaNot as clean as the hotel promotes. The spa in the health centre was out of service. The lockers were broken in the change rooms. The lobby furniture could use a good steam clean or update.
The staff service, proximity to city and transport. The Kensington outside garden restaurant was a touch of luxury. The concierge service was a nod to how hotels used to be and made the stay more pleasant. My luggage was able to be stored after check out for free.

United KingdomStandard king room is small. Hotels should understand just because you can fit a king bed in the room doesn’t make it a king sized room. And I’m not sure it is a king bed. But it is VERY comfortable I’m just nitpicking

NetherlandsJust happened to have a room on the corner with a small window with not much of a view, so that particular room was a bit dark, but didn't bother me to much, as I was there for a conference.
This was my second time staying at this hotel. I was in town for a conference at the Bloomsbury Holiday Inn, but I booked this hotel, because it was cheaper and the facilities are better (breakfast area / bar). Also, this hotel has a nice pool w/ spa facilities, which the other one hasn't. The hotel surroundings are nice and there's a underground station nearby with close connection to Paddington station if you want to take the Heathrow express. The station also has a small food court for a quick meal.

AustraliaNo help to carry bags up the front stairs. We weren't told there was a hidden ramp. We upgraded our room on the second day, paid for it, and the room change had still not been done by 4 pm. Public complaint, but my husband brought a senior staff member, and the issue was solved. But it should not have happened. The next room was perfect for a 4 night stay.
Amazing buffet breakfast.
