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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomShower in room 408 just a trickle - not enough power to wash hair Tap in sink barely works - again a tiny trickle Got woken regularly by the boiler cupboard in the room or whatever was behind the locked door on the wall - very noisy generator and engine sound. First started at 03.00am and then was going on/ off until 06.00am Not acceptable being kept awake most of the night by this. If you did not get to Breakfast early - they ran out of food and fruit.

United KingdomI really loved the bed, it had a softer mattress than what I would usually like, but this in conjunction with the fluffy bedding made it feel like i was sleeping on a cloud. I liked the davines products in the bathroom. Everything in the room was spectacularly clean and tidy. But the outside corridors could do with a lick of paint. The breakfast offerings were good, i took a croissant to go which was delicious.

AustraliaAlthough the pastries were from Paul's, a different selection every couple of days would have been preferable instead of the same ones each day-at least they were the same during our stay.
The room was adequate, could have been a little bigger and a chair would have been appreciated. Hotel was handy to transport and the breakfast was ok. Having a keycode entry was added security especially for those guests travelling alone. We didn't expect to see any hotel personnel during our stay as we had read the information about Sonder properties not being staffed as per normal hotels, so we were pleasantly surprised to see staff on reception and at breakfast. The staff we encountered were always willing to assist with any questions/problems that we had and able to fix them promptly.

Superior Queen Room was great in size and loved the separate walk in wardrobe. I don't like suitcases in the room. Bar fridge was a great idea however it didn't work well. Also safe provided was important. The selection at breakfast was extensive and overall the staff were very attentive.

United StatesI wished the lighting in the rooms were a little better and more balanced. Lots of natural lighting in the room from windows but doesn’t help, while trying to get ready with privacy. Unfortunately not much counter space in the bathroom. We adapted!
The location was perfect. Close to everything we needed but in a relative quiet neighborhood. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast pastries and coffee, clean rooms.

AustraliaRooms aren’t very soundproof as could hear cleaners stacking dishes at 10pm at night which was down the hallway in the kitchen (seemed unnecessary given no dinner service so should do earlier in the day when no one is sleeping). Definitely should replace double beds with queen beds

AustraliaThe experience at check-in was disappointing. True that you have to check in on your own before arriving but the staff were quite cold and not very welcoming, which left a negative first impression. Thankfully, the breakfast staff were much friendlier and provided a much better level of service.
I recently stayed at this hotel, which is situated in a very quiet and beautiful area, just a 5-minute walk from South Kensington Station—an excellent location for exploring London. The room itself was comfortable, though it felt a bit dated and could use some modernization. Despite that, it was clean and provided a good night’s sleep. Overall, a decent stay, but with room for improvement, particularly in customer service at check-in.
