Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandThe shower in our room smelled. But was no problem because you could close the door to the room.
The decoration is very nice! The rooms are really quiet.

United KingdomTrying to be boutique but too impersonal. Check in could be Travelodge, stool and table! Decor is nice but painting everything black means everything is chipped in the rooms! I booked a large king and it wasn’t that big a room, can hear people above clearly as no carpets. No instructions for coffee machine, what’s the difference between blue and red?! Also toiletries lovely but both the same in shower, is one shampoo, can’t read the writing on bottles and pump tops don’t work well.?! No privacy in bathroom with glass wall, looks nice but not very practical. Expected more of a cosy club atmosphere for the price. Terrible condensation on inside of windows in the morning.
Very nice breakfast, comfy bed, good location near Kings Cross, nice toiletries and big towels.

United KingdomI am only giving this feedback as I think it could be easily fixed with a fan. The bathroom condensation was terrible, after having a shower the whole area was soaking wet. Shame as the bath was huge and toiletries lovely. Heating did not really work room was quite cold.
The receptionist was amazing so helpful and we got an upgrade to a much better room. Loved the decor and bed was very comfortable Complimentary coffee etc was a lovely touch. Bath robes aswell.

United KingdomThe twin room was directly below the reception and it sounded like elephants were going across the room really often during the night whenever a member of staff walked across the floor. It prevented a proper night sleep which was a real shame. There’s no lift to get down a winding metal staircase which leads to the room and they were storing bags of laundry under the stairs directly outside the room door which ruined the rest of the aesthetic. The hotel equivalent of being sat right next to the bathroom door in a restaurant in my opinion!
We stayed in one of the twin rooms, which was nicely decorated, clean and spacious for London standards. The beds were really comfortable (although very small singles). Location is just a short walk from Kings Cross which is really central for loads of tourist attractions.

United KingdomNothing to dislike really. 5 minute walk to St Pancras was ideal.
We needed to stay in a hotel close to St Pancras station for one night to catch an early Eurostar the next day and this was ideal. The hotel was very cozy, the lady at the desk upgraded our room when we arrived and there were complimentary drinks in the room. The bed was comfortable and I loved the walk-in shower. I would stay here again for sure if I needed it for an early train.

United KingdomThe bathroom was a bit odd in the way you’d have to walk back into the bedroom itself and all the way round the corner to use the sink. No air con means the room could get warm. Speaking of which, being told “there is something called a window” by a member of staff wasn’t exactly ideal. While we’re sure it was meant as a joke - we’re not ones to be overly offended by this type of thing - it did rub us up a bit of the wrong way. Nevertheless, small niggles to an overall good experience
Beautiful property in an ideal location. We loved the Victorian-style detailing and the room was just as clean as you’d hope and well-stocked with all the trimmings
