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...).

AustraliaThe only unexpected thing was not being able to make a reservation for 3 weeks hence on leaving. The desk clerk told me to email when I was standing right there. Was he incapable of performing such a fundamental task ? If so why?
Freindly helpful staff allowed us to leave our bags. We were too early to check in. Thebreakfast ladies were friendly too.

United States of AmericaThe room was small for 4 people (it was supposed to be for 5) and had very little ventilation. We were not aware that we had to pay extra for air conditioning which we normally don’t need/get but the windows could only open a few centimeters so there was no air flow.
Front staff was super friendly and helpful! The location was very convenient - walking distance to Pancras station, Hyde park and other smaller parks and pubs/cafés/restaurants.

United States of AmericaRooms perfect for tourists who wont be in the room most of the day as it was the size of a shed (but had its own bathroom so it was fine. Priceline deal so we were in the basement with a window to a work area. No ac so glad to be in the basement . Buffet more basic than many as had no bacon.
Personable staff; elevator; very near the central train station and oodles of local stores and restaurants; short walks to buses and hyde park

AustraliaThe location was excellent, close to Paddington Station, buses, restaurants and supermarkets. I really enjoyed the breakfast and the lovely people who prepared it for me! The room was also very clean. I was staying in a single room and understood what I was paying for so wasn't bothered by the small bathroom, it worked for me, but was quite tight. The rest of the room was quite a good size.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast is way to simple and monotonous for a stay longer dan 1 day. Every day same ham, cheese, jam and toast. The 'Orange juice' was some cheap kind of fruity lemonade, Eggs where boiled to complete hard Coffee was made of instant powder instead of real beans. Breakfast room was very noisy if multiple people attent Myroom has window to patio which give a lot of noise from other guests in rooms that are adjacent to patio.
Clean room.

United KingdomNo tea or coffee making facilities which I like to have The bedding in winter would be perfect but there were 3 layers would recommend in summer only have 1 with the others available on the shelf Bedding felt old. If more modern bedding was obtained and tea/coffee making facilities in the room then this would move you to a 9 rating I would stay again though happily and hope to give a bigger score next time.
The location is really good and easy to find and in a lovely area The room was functional and had most of the basics covered Small bathroom but I was able to use without any issues

United KingdomThe breakfast window was too short until 9am. No other catering going on so it wasn’t like there was a lunch service to prep for. It ended at 9am so we didn’t bother. Only one pillow per bed with one in the wardrobe, had to ask for an extra one, about three times. And checkout was frustrating. As you pay in advance there is nothing to do except hand your card in and I found myself waiting while an American family were checked in along with 6 bags and all sorts of faffing while 4 cleaning staff stood around the reception desk, presumably waiting for rooms to be vacated, while the one reception member of staff struggled.
Brilliant location a couple of streets over from Paddington, our arrival station. Enough going on in the immediate vicinity with bars, restaurants and pubs galore. The Elizabeth Line right there too and as we were heading out to the Abba arena this was perfect.

HungaryBreakfast is very early, closes at 9, if you come around 8:30 you must stand in a queue for 15-20min as there aren't enough tables. The ladies at the breakfast room try to hurry you out so that they can usher other people to tables. Not so convinient. What is very annoying, the only window of the room could have been opened just about 10 cm upwards (it was fixed so not broken but deliberately positioned like that) and aircon was not included in the price therefore the room became boiling hot, even though outside it was pleasant temperature. Also they are having some sort of renovation so drilling is constant, you can't sleep during the day (like you can't have a nap). Wifi is weak.
It is located in the centre, everything is really close. The beds are exquisite, very comfy. So are the pillows.
