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 room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and of course the location is great. But the stars are the staff, who go over and above here. Absolutely superb team who will tend to your every need, which in our case was a request to make the room look nice for a special celebration. Absolutely fab. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

United StatesRooms were a bit small, but we got used to them after the first night,
The staff was excellent. We want to especially compliment our concierge Slav. Since this was our first visit to London Slav was extremely helpful in getting us tickets, helping with our luggage and giving us tips on getting around London. The breakfast was awesome...plenty of variety and well prepared.

United KingdomThere were three to a room and I was sleeping on the sofa bed. We stayed 2 nights and the 1st night was awful. The bed was so uncomfortable as I could feel the bed frame digging in through the thin mattress. I spoke to the staff in the morning and they found a mattress topper to help. It wasn't perfect but I can't fault the staff for trying their best to help. I suggest they get a new mattress for these kinds of beds in the future.
The staff were very attentive and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring central London. Fantastic breakfast and great room.

United KingdomThe lift was very slow. The dining area was too small, and the same cooked food every day, limited choice, and being told you have a table for 45 minutes made me feel my leisurely morning away was rushed. The room we stayed in needs some attention, very dark and depressing room 202.
The location was excellent, and the room was a good size. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe only small thing would be to top up the shower gel etc as we did not have any hair conditioner. To be fair, we did not ask for any and I have no doubt some would have been provided if we had. The staff do an excellent job.
We were delighted to find that our room had a lovely four poster bed. The breakfast menu was excellent and exceeded our expectations.

Staff were lovely, clearly well-trained, and nothing was too much trouble. Room was very clean, and location was perfect for west-end shows. Breakfast was good, and well attended. 45 minutes, for us, was plenty of time.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like.
Excellent position, near theatre, tube 8 minute walk. Wonderful front of house staff greeted us as arrived early with smile and glass of Prosecco . Upgraded and took us to spacious room with 2 King size beds. Bottle of wine for our patience! Manager himself came up to uncork our bottle! On departure the lovely head of reception on our enquiring could we perhaps secure a triple room next visit, said “ Of course , anything is possible! Quite clearly The team in the hotel love their job, that was so obvious in their faces. We were a little unsure about getting meal before the theatre and didn’t check out the restaraunt, but next time……. Breakfast, excellent choice was wonderful lovely reception in there too. Well done, keep up standards. ! ,

The location is ideal for West End theatres, Chinatown, Covent Garden, Leicester Square and in fact most things in central London!

United KingdomThe restaurant is very small and there was a restriction of 45 minutes at the breakfast table.
The location was superb. Near to West End theatres, and Regent Street for shopping. Only a 15 minute walk to Oxford Street for further shopping. Also right next to China Town. The staff on the reception were friendly and able to answer all of our questions. We had fruit, cake and a bottle of Prosecco in our room along with balloons and petals decorating the beds and towels made into a cake as it was my mother’s birthday. This was a lovely surprise. The breakfast was plentiful with both full English and a continental selection too.
