Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThings that are unavoidable when staying in a city like loud cars roaring at night. But I'm from NYC and used to that! I wish I would've asked for more pillows too, but that's on me. But other than that it was fantastic!
The staff was friendly and available 24 hours! The room was very clean and the space felt very safe. We received fresh towels daily and had coffee and tea in our rooms!

Czech RepublicWe had the windows to the street and some of the passing cars were quite loud in the night. Nevertheless the windows were doubled. If you don’t mind to sleep with closed window there is no problem.
It was very clean and the services provided for this price were outstanding.

United KingdomIt's an old building without good double glazing so I could hear the road traffic noise. however with good ear plugs this wasn't a problem. Hair dryer was at reception and would have been better in my room.
The swinton had everything I needed for a short stay in London. The room was basic but had a hot shower, shampoo etc, tea/coffee/water and biscuits Everything was clean.

FinlandAdding bathmats in the bathroom and providing hairdryers for added convenience could enhance the experience.
We had a great stay in this British-style hotel. The rooms and corridors were small but cozy. The location was superb, just a 10-15-minute walk to the tube station in a lively area with shops, restaurants, and bars. We love walking, so we explored the city mostly on foot and rarely used the tube. The reception is open 24/7, and the staff were very helpful. We had a WiFi issue on our first night, but they moved us to a recently renovated, more spacious room the next morning, which was a nice upgrade. The hotel has a cute garden for reading or relaxing. It's not fancy, but it has everything you need on a budget. The excellent location and cleanliness make it our top choice for future visits to London.

United KingdomSwinton Street is quite busy with traffic at times, so that can be noisy if you have the window open - nothing the hotel can do about that.
The hotel is in a good location, close to Kings Cross station. It has a nice quiet, well kept garden at the back with seating areas, available to residents. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

Very clean and close to the Kings Cross station, so perfect if you are traveling for a couple of days. The personal was also really friendly and the reception runs 24h. The room was the perfect size for one person and it was always very clean!

United KingdomAlthough it met my needs,I felt it was a little under-provided with surfaces to put things, in both the bedroom and ensuite. I had requested a table and chair, but neither was provided. I would recommend it to others though
I liked the welcoming, and well supervised reception area, and 24hr availability of staff. It was very clean. Breakfast was good value.

United KingdomThe first two rooms offered were not cleaned and ready: we were given alternative room with a double bed. A double room had been requested on booking. I Felt that the communication between the cleaning staff and reception staff could have been better highlighting rooms that were ready for occupation at the correct time for checkin. But having said this , after pointing out rooms were not ready and cleaned the friendly staff provided a ready and acceptable double room instead.
We left very early due to ongoing travel commitments so did not have breakfast. Water was available in the room as was some supplies of tea, coffee and some biscuits and nice smelling bathroom body wash available.
