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.).

United KingdomThe accomodation provides the bare minimum, not a single touch of decoration or extra furniture. Although it was generally clean, the place felt like it needed freshend up: the carpet was stained, small holes in sheet, etc. I had a basement window which opened on the street and was quite noisy.
The property is ideally located in Kensington. Check in process is smooth, just needed to grab a key from the key box. The amenities were very basic but the essentials were there: linen, kettle, tea and coffee.

United KingdomIncredibly, there was no wifi in the rooms, the TV didn't work, and there was only one central light - no side light - so impossible to read. The key arrangements to get into the room were complicated and only worked if you had a smartphone. There was nobody on reception as a matter of policy. There were two emergency numbers, neither of which were answered. I left a voicemail afterwards asking for the owner / manager to call me. Nobody ever did.
The room was clean, the bed OK, and the shower good. There was a helpful woman who tried to sort my TV. Location good

United KingdomMould around the window. Taps in the bathroom were very stiff and wife was unable to turn the taps off. Fire alarm went off quite early in the morning and staff were unable to resolve the issue in a timely manner. No life and lots of stairs to carry heavy suitcases.
Location was good and only a few minutes walk to the tube. Tea and coffee in the room.

United StatesMy room #401 was extremely small filled with mold and strange odor. The bathroom sink didn’t drain and the shower head was leaking. Aside from that, the bed was not comfortable at all and the mattress had stains on it. The walls were dirty, covered in splattered stains and the carpet needed proper cleaning as well. And you will see a pest trap behind your bed too. If you are OK with all of this, then go for it. I will not be staying here again.
The location was great and there were many nice restaurants and cafes in the heart of Notting Hill.

United KingdomThe property was at a slant due to being quite old and outdated, didn’t put a damper on the experience though as other than decor was lovely!
Gave us more beds than we asked, plenty of towels and soaps etc! Had a balcony which overlooked a gorgeous park and was a really stunning area! so upper class.

United KingdomThey would not let me book in at a late hour and there was a train strike, so I could not get there by the ten o'clock cut off. Therefore I booked in to the Premier Inn at Paddington instead.
It was within walking distance of Paddington and reasonably priced.

IrelandThe rooms could do with being updated & re painted. In saying that it was fairly clean. The shower was good & the beds were comfortable. The walls are very thin so you can hear movement from other rooms.
The location is good. There are shops & eateries in the area. The closest tube station is 10 minutes walk max.

SwedenCleaning of the room could have been better! We missad furniture in the room - there were only a bed and a locker for hanging clothes. A few hooks on the wall, a shelf, a small table would have made life easier.
