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 got a bit hot, even with heating off and air flow maximum. I guess from the temperature in the corridors that the ground floor rooms are cooler. We got a space in the car park but it was probably the last (at 3pm on a sunny Saturday). We thought that if we'd wanted to take the car out there might not then be a space when we returned. On Sunday night there was plenty of room.
The staff were friendly and quick to help. The room was a good size, with space to sit at a small table as well as the desk. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is in a great location for the centre of Stratford and the theatre (via the pedestrian bridge).

United KingdomUnfortunately, on this occasion, it would appear that lack of communication between the reception staff and the restaurant staff was exceedingly prominent. We were part of a group of 8 close friends who gather on a particular date each year for very personal reasons. We requested a table to accommodate us all for breakfast (in particular) but, Unfortunately this was not relayed to the restaurant. It not only happened to us on two occasions but to other residents also. Breakfast on our last day was incredibly late - from eventually taking orders to it arriving at the table - so much so, one couple of our party had to leave without eating as they had an appointment they needed to attend. A complaint was made to the restaurant manager highlighting our disappointment but nothing was suitably resolved. One couple's air con could not be adjusted or switched off and had to call maintenance late at night - in fact, she had trouble getting the attention of the night receptionist as he was too busy on his mobile phone. Another gentleman came to help but it certainly wasn't fixed. He just turned it off, so they were left with nothing for the rest of the duration. The Swan's Nest was our personal recommendation and it was noted by all that the price has increased greatly from last year but the overall level of service has fallen somewhat. The hotel manager was informed and was deeply sorry for our experience.
We've stayed at Swan's Nest on several occasions - mainly because the location is excellent and we've been looked after very well on those occasions- hence our last visit. The majority of the staff are courteous, polite & helpful.

United KingdomThe room air conditioning was faulty and we could not turn it off or amend the temperature, it was blasting out very cold air, I phoned reception at 11.30 pm to ask for help, no answer, got dressed and went to reception to find a young man transfixed to his mobile phone😖, I told him what the problem was and another man told me to take out the card!! I explained that if I did that we would have NO power in the room, so he came out to the room and finally managed to turn it off, no one came to fix this the following day and was not fixed even before we left , We arrived for breakfast on Sunday morning @ 08.50 giving us plenty of time to have our prepaid breakfast before we had to leave @10.15, how wrong was we, at 10.15 we had to check out and leave without breakfast!! When we checked out we were told, that we could have free parking for our inconvenience Unfortunately we didn’t have time to argue and said fine We have stayed here before but this year had to pay£8 per night to park the car, this was included last year
The location and staff was exceptional as ever as this is not the first time we have stayed there, our evening meal at the Bistro Pierre was great and May was a fantastic host and server too

United KingdomThe hotel is a little tired in places and the room could have done with a refresh. My room hadn't been serviced by 1.30 pm when I returned for a rest after exploring so I was forced to leave the 'do not disturb' sign out and forego a clean. All rooms should be serviced before noon in my opinion. My main concern was security. Many exterior doors to the back and side of the hotel were left unlocked and, at times, were propped open. As a lone female with a ground floor room close to these doors, this made me feel a little vulnerable. Security needs improving.
Great location across the river from the RSC. Very comfortable stay and friendly staff.

United KingdomThe bedroom facilities were badly organised. The tea/coffee making facilities were in the wardrobe space. There was no nearby plug for the kettle so we had to put the kettle on the floor to use a plug. The wardrobe doors did not slide smoothly and nearly fell off! There was a dreadful screeching noise on and off during the night, which woke me up with a fright. The shower was very slippery and dangerous, there was no handle to hang on to to stop you from slipping. There was only one very slow coffee machine in breakfast which led to queues to make coffee. The avocado on toast was horrible - just like green slime with a poached egg on top. Position was ok a 5-10minute walk to the centre.
The friendliness of the staff. Liked the fact that hot breakfast was ordered and served, not a buffet.

We parked the car in the car park when we arrived and did not use it again until we left. Everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance from the hotel.
