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.).

IndiaThe room on the ninth floor that we got was noisy. The shower needed to be fixed as well.
The location and the food is great. The standard room is decent size and a little upgrade is super.Walking distance from Vauxall bus and train. good connectivity to Cambridge, Kew Gardens, and other parts.We are vegetarians.Breakfast choices are good. We also had lunch and that was great as well. This was our second stay in less than a week here. Unfortunately the first night, we got a room that was noisy. I expressed my concern the next day and they were very kind to give me a room that was quiet and had no street noise. The rooms are clean, the bed and the mattresses are good. Coffee machine is good.Check in and check out is well managed. The gym had good equipment. The pool is a sweet indoor pool .I would definitely recommend it.

United KingdomWe had booked an executive double room with a view over the Thames, with a request for the view of Westminster rather than Battersea. It was our 25th wedding anniversary, so we wanted it to be extra special. We were told that our request had been noted, but could not be guaranteed. I had booked this at least 4-5 months in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, we were told there was no availability for that view. What a shame. How far in advance does one need to book to get this? We were told the following night we could have it. Well, we were only there for one night for a special occasion. Oh well. We had been given an upgrade to a suite, which was nice, but it felt like it was just to fobb us off. We didn’t need a kitchenette with a microwave and a hob. We booked that room for the view. Unfortunately, that was a bit disappointing. The lifts and some hallways are very dark. It could be a bit intimidating when standing in the lift with other people, especially for women. The breakfast area is beautiful, but all the food is so spread out and with lots of people there it gets a bit stressful. There were quite a few queues for the coffee machine. By the time my husband and I went to the buffet a few times, we ended up eating separately really.
Lovely welcome when entering the hotel. Friendly staff. Nice pool, even though not very big. We enjoyed the sauna and steam room as well. Nice and hot. These facilities need to be booked before and you receive 30 minute slots. Not very long really, but it wasn’t busy and we stayed a bit longer. Lovely breakfast- lots of variety. Everything we ate tasted good. We had a small plate of chocolates delivered to our room on the day we arrived, which was a nice touch. Beautiful bathroom with a bath tub and walk in shower. We received a complimentary entry to the river view lounge, which was very much appreciated. Complimentary snacks an and drinks during the day.

United KingdomLight/control panel in room. I liked the control panel for air con/ curtains etc but didn't find it practical for light switches. Would just be easier to have normal light switches. Coffee machine at breakfast restaurant is slow and causes large queues. Its not fast enough for a busy restaurant environment. An option for just filter coffee you can self serve near the hot water section for the tea would be helpful. People also don't know how to use it (which buttons to select) straight away which also makes it slower.
Staff were all attentive, helpful and friendly. Room comfy and had everything needed for a short stay.

United KingdomI didn’t like the look of the pool, didn’t really use it… only went to the sauna for about 30mins to unwind. About my room.. This isn’t a major issue, there was the smell coming from the drains and toilets. I mentioned to the manager as I was leaving and he took note of it. He was very lovely very nice to talk to.
Very nice! The room was convenient.. the space was good.. very tidy. The bed was very comfortable. The buttons for setting up the room temperature/lights was a first for me. Thought that was a special feature. Overall a lovely stay. Sauna was nice. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
