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...).

MalaysiaWould have been a bit more convenient if there was a safe box in the apartment but the access to building and apartment unit is secure, so we had no issues leaving items in the apartment during the day.
Everything about our stay at Hyde Park Apartments was enjoyable. The location, the condition of the apartment, the regular cleaning and maintenance and finally the price. Would highly recommend this place for families and if you want to be in Central London.

AustraliaThere was no living room. This wasn’t really an apartment. More like 2 bedrooms with a very tiny kitchen attached. The electronic key locked my husband out half way through our stay. The staff helped with supplying keycards, but it took over an hour to get help.
Close to Paddington station. Quiet street. Comfortable beds.

New ZealandInaccurate listing - said there was a reception down the road for luggage storage, this was not the case. Contactless check in was not straight forward, we’re lucky that someone happened to be there at the time (there usually isn’t anyone on site). Listing also said there was a washing machine in room - not the case. There was a paid machine on site though.
Host was very responsive to messages. Apartment was spacious for London.

AustraliaAs others have said, the Bluetooth key setup was confusing and the instructions need to be more explicit. You need to check in well before you arrive at the place. Don't expect to do the online check on arrival at the place and then get in. It took 90 minutes for us to get the email for Bluetooth key after checking in which wasn't ideal at 1am in the morning after getting off a flight. Also you need to set up the key with the email from the booking - and if it's through booking.com it's some weird email generated from the site. Anyway got it working in the end. We were in the basement flat at the front - make sure you don't get that flat - right next to cleaning rooms and the bins. The smell of garbage was overwhelming a couple of nights.... The whole flat was tired and worn out and the bathroom miniscule.
The location was great. Close to Paddington Station, plenty of places to eat and reasonably quiet street.

South AfricaOur apartment was basement level which we weren’t aware of, so a bit dark & gloomy. The fire door in the apartment had been nailed shut but was still on the fire escape plan. We informed the owner & were told it would be fixed. We were there 3 nights and nothing was done. Windows had bars so we only had one escape route had there been a fire.
Location was great! Very quiet at night. Clean apartment.
