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.).

ItalyI have mixed feelings about this hotel. The rooms were small, like the average accomodation in London. Some walls are in need of a repaint and the furniture should be a little bit more refined (the fabric of the armchair was faded, there was some stains on the sofa and the bedspread - wax,maybe? - while the cushions were extremely uncomfortable. The windows were drafty. There was no toilet brush, which is essential if you share a bathroom. My guest who stayed on the second floor was satisfied, except for the noise of doors constantly opening and closing in the morning.
We booked two studio apartments, one of which for single use, on two different floors of the building, second and fourth floor. Room cleaning is essential and must be improved to become a strength of this hotel. The bed was comfortable. There was a very useful kettle, 2 coffee and barley pods, tea and powdered milk + 2 biscuits, glasses, plates and cutlery if needed. My guest who stayed on the second floor was satisfied, except for the noise of doors constantly opening and closing in the morning. All in all, I would recommend it. Excellent location, friendly staff.

United StatesBooking was made 11 month ago for 4 nights and was specificly asked higher floors starting with 2nd floor. Was given 1-st floor with window not hold to be open, used a cup?!! to keep it little open. Very dirty with look like mold outside at window sill right where window was open! First bedding was w/presense of hairs, slept first night dressed,,, All of the above was very disappointing. Bedding was changed on 2nd night. No paper or kitchen towels.
The location was really nice close to underground station, busses. Close to brodwalk w/stores and restaurants. Really nice Hyde park with nice grounds and lake. Beatifull Kensington royal residence. We were met by pleasant receptionist. It does have elevator

New ZealandVery small for two if you have lots of bags but it was well equipped. Hard to turn the shower on without getting wet. Strange policy about charging for early check in (understandable if specifically requested of course) even if the room is already ready- never seen that at a hotel/accommodation before. We were there 30 minutes early though and were not charged.
Great location- walking distance to several tube stations, Kensington gardens and Hyde park. Clean. Good shower pressure. Staff were friendly. Small bed but comfortable. Great to have a toaster, fridge, coffee machine etc.

CanadaWe were bit disappointed on the second day when we got back from hotel at the evening, we found out that the door was unlocked after the housekeeping service we believe. The latch was opened so basically anyone at that time can go in by pushing through the door. We reflected the issue to the reception just as a reminder and it didn’t happened since.
Reception staff are nice and helpful. Check-in is efficient and we are happy for the facilities in the room. It is remarkable that the reception and rooms are very stylish and modern.

IrelandThere were no sponges or dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes properly.
The hotel was able to accommodate us with a late check-in. The small kitchenette is very convenient to prepare food - for us we arrived late and grabbed a few items from the grocer nearby to prepare at home before we went to bed. We also used the kitchenette to prepare breakfast. The location is great. We really enjoyed our stay.

GermanyThe hotel could have been better signposted. We had trouble finding it. It looks like a normal residential building.
The receptionist was very nice, helpful and laid back. The room was clean, well equipped and had a good size. The hotel is located in a quiet side street. There are some small restaurants nearby. Hyde Park, Paddington Station and Lancaster Gate are within walking distance. It‘s convenient to travel from/to Heathrow Airport.

Small room, kept banging foot on the edge of the bed, no possibility of dimming the lights. Woke up with the guests of room next to us opening and closing the drawers. Not very soundproof.
