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.).

A great location, but the hotel is dated and scruffy. Although clean and a very good breakfast, our room was tired and needed a makeover. A busy hotel, but needs decorating!

United KingdomDecor is a bit tired. No drinking water from the tap but jug of water provided. Shower was poor. There is no lift which may influence your decision
Selected for Location and proximity to theatre. Close to underground.The room was compact but didn't feel cramped. Large flat screen TV and a wall safe. Staff were friendly. Overall, it was a value option that was more than adequate for an overnight stay.

United KingdomAs mentioned, the hotel could do with an upgrade, it does look tired. Having said that at the price point there is nothing to complain about. If being picky: some new carpets in the stairways and common areas; a better shower, mounted higher, more sockets in the bedroom and general redecoration and soft furnishings would be welcome. Long walk up to the top floor.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for a weekend break in London. Good breakfast. The hotel itself, had everything you needed, but it is looking a little tired. The room was well equipped, with aircon, a safe, coffee and en-suite shower room.

United KingdomRooms weren't very soundproofed. Could hear footsteps from above and doors slamming around the other rooms. Bedroom could do with a bit of modernisation and layout rethink. (Very narrow staircase to the breakfast area)
The staff were lovely from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Breakfast in the morning had good choice. Bedroom had everything we needed. Location was brilliant for going to the theatre, not too far to walk.
