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 KingdomI was on the fourth floor, and I appreciate this made it quieter for me however I was a bit concerned as to how I’d get out quickly if I needed to!
It was quiet, the facilities were perfect for what I needed

United KingdomThe fire alarm went off one night, after making call, we still had to wait more than 30 mins outside
Comfortable bed and very clean room. The kitchen was perfectly enough for 3-4 days of stay. Very close to Farringdon and Barbican stations.

IrelandThe fire alarm went off and there was no support from staff or any safety measures, it caused a lot of anxiety, lack of sleep due to stress and just overall feeling of uncomfortable as we didn’t know if we were safe or not. The restaurant next door said the fire alarm always goes off which is not ideal or safe. This is an extreme issue that needs to be tackled incase there was an emergency.
It was in a great location and the room was nicely decorated

Canadathe sink in the bathroom was awful- terrible water pressure and went everywhere. The room had a bit of a strange smell upon entering but went away after leaving the windows open but maybe change the cleaning products used / leave the windows open while cleaning. the sign outside is very small and makes it hard to find the hotel at first
Easy to check in and had storage lockers for your things while waiting for your room to become available. The space was clean and modern.

United KingdomThe photos are deceiving and make the rooms look a lot bigger that they actually were. We were sent multiple codes to get into our room on the first night and none of them worked so we had to call the help line to let us in. The room didn’t feel completely clean and part of the window was broken when we arrived. The walls are quite thin and you could hear everything if someone was outside in the corridor talking. Not sure if it felt like we got our moneys worth.
Nice room and great location for travelling into central london.

BelgiumThe only downside was that the insulation between the flat and the hallway/ stairs was really bad so we could hear every one coming up and down the stairs or chatting in the hallway.
Good location, close to the city center and quiet. The flat was clean and nicely decorated, practical.

CanadaWhen we arrived we did not get the room we booked. Fortunately someone from Sonder was in the building so he gave us another one. Later when we came back someone was in our room telling us he rented this room. So we got moved again. This wasn't pleasing at all but Sonder gave us a refund. But apparently we were fortunate as another client told us she had to get a room elsewhere cause the one she booked wasn't available when she arrived.
The location was great. By bus or even just walking, everything is rather close. The building and the room was clean. The app works well and the chatting service is very reactive.

GermanyThe heater in the bathroom was terribly hot that we almost burnt ourselves getting our towels from it. we didn’t know if we could turn it down or off. also it was very noisy, the walls are thin and we could hear the other guests in the neighbour rooms. also the bed was very small for two people.
I liked the location, it was easy accessible and easy to get into at any time.

United KingdomAll I can recommend to improve is some extra door hooks/clothes rail for a longer stay.
The location was definitely one of the best parts of this room - it was only a stones throw away from farringdon station so really easy to travel around london. The additional kitchenette facilities were useful and the bed was also very comfortable.

United KingdomStarting to look a little run down. Missing toilet roll holder, only 2 bulbs in main light working when I arrived. Shower door was not easy to close correctly without gaps due to broken runners. Also my flat door code didn’t work on arrival and took 15-20mins getting a replacement code. Plus needs a curtain as well a blind.
It was well fitted with good utensils and kitchen cooking equipment as well as a desert supply of cups, plates, bowels and glasses. There was always hot water when needed and the room heater was adequate with the times function.
