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 Bathroom was very small with a low ceiling height, this made showering a struggle. The shower was over the bath and the shower head holder was broken. Not the best shower I’ve had. There were coffee rings left on the table when we arrived. No air conditioning in the room and the lift didn’t work.
The bed was extremely comfortable. The bedroom/living area was spacious and light. Overall it was clean enough.

Faulty kettle wasn't replaced even though staff said it would be. Bathroom extractor fan broken. Room temperature difficult to moderate, seemed to be on or off. Kitchen cabinet handles difficult to grasp(thin flat profiles). Claustrophobic corridors.

RomaniaCleaning and maintenance are still to be improved as negligent work is visible in a few instances: door knobs, window frames (old and worn out). Moreover, windows do not close properly which add to noise and cold. One can hear the tube in the underground but there is not much you can do about it. Also, lot of noise from the street, police, ambulance, loud cars. Elevator was out of order for the whole stay which causes nuisance when having to go upstairs with the luggage but also for regular walking to upper rooms. Makes one wonder if it’s energy cost saving or lack of diligence? Not a good impression on this.
Excellent view to the Tower of London and excellent location (multiple tube connections, close to important spots), room size, interior design. Very comfortable room. Nespresso coffee capsules provided complimentary, as well as milk and cereals, bottled water. Kitchenware provided, cloth and dish washing machine. Furniture is new and modern. A vanity mirror in the living room is a nice addition in terms of amenities.

IrelandYou can hear some noise from the underground trains but it didn’t bother us too much.
The staff here were so kind and helpful. I was travelling with my mother and she was concerned about noise because she is a light sleeper. I had emailed them about this in advance and when we arrived the staff showed us two different rooms and allowed us to choose which one we would prefer. The one we stayed in was actually an upgrade from the one we originally booked. They were so helpful and wanted to make sure we had the best possible stay. The location is also fantastic.

United KingdomAlthough the rooms are pretty large they’re a bit soulless. Could do with some pictures on the walls to make it feel more homely and better lighting options (the main room just has one ceiling lamp). You can (just about) hear and feel the tube running under the building (it gently shakes the floor). It didn’t bother me, my room was on the 2nd floor. It’s really just a building with apartments, rather than a full service hotel (no restaurant or facilities on site) but I think you can use those at their other hotel about 5 minutes walk away. There is a room service menu so you’re not totally stuck. There’s no climate control as such (only a portable air con unit and ceiling fans) but the heating is controlled on each radiator. The fridge was a good size but didn’t have a freezer compartment. Reception could do with being spruced up a bit, it’s very small and some of the decor is tired. Not much of a view out of the window (but I’m guessing there were apartments that looked out onto the Tower of London).
I was upgraded to a 1-bedroom apartment, it had lots of space, decent kitchen facilities (combi-oven/microwave, washing machine, fridge, dishwasher, toaster etc)and a bathroom with a bath (and shower over it). It was clean and generally quiet. The lady on reception gave me a very warm welcome. Location-wise it’s right near the Tower of London (my view unfortunately was into an office block) and there are plenty of restaurants and shops in the vicinity. Fresh milk was left in the fridge, some nespresso coffee capsules and enough dishwasher & washing machine tablets for a couple of loads. The bed was very comfortable indeed and the large windows let in a lot of light. There was a big TV in both the lounge and the bedroom, both with HDMI connections on the wall, so easy to use.

ArgentinaThe access doors for the kitchen and bedrooms can not stay open. I understand that is a security measure probably, but it is super annoying.

AustraliaThere could have been more accurate communication in the leadup to the check-in regarding check in time and also what was being supplied.
It was located close to Tower Hill station but within walking distance to Bank and Monument stations and an easy walk to London Tower, Tower Bridge, London Bridge and Borough Markets. The suites were large and well appointed and very comfortable. There was access to the gym at the Hotel and a number of reasonable pubs closeby. The staff were responsive and helpful.

GreeceWe expected more when it came to cleaning. We checked in on Wednesday 27th of December, and they cleaned our room on Sunday on the 31st of December, after we asked on Saturday for update. It seemed that there was a lack of knowledge in the personnel as we heard two different opinions. One stating that the room was about to be cleaned on Saturday ( which never happened) and another that the room was supposed to be cleaned on Sunday, which happened after we asked them to do so.
We loved the location.

Brilliant location - literally across the road from Tower Bridge and minutes to Tower Hill underground station. Lots to see and do on your doorstep but also very easy to navigate your way around London from this base. High quality, comfortable facilities in traditional building.
