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 StatesThe food was mediocre. I don’t recommend the breakfast plan and I’d avoid eating more than once in the restaurant. The ambience is great but the food is not good

AustraliaRoom was very small. There was nowhere to have suitcases open. We missed breakfast on a couple of days when we had commitments, perhaps could open a little earlier.
Great location and the staff were fabulous. Rooms were very clean and quiet, considering location and age of building. The breakfast was very good. We particularly liked the coffee pot in lieu of just a cup.

United KingdomJames at Reception, and all the staff, actually -- all wonderful! Loved the free bar tokens we received on arrival, as well as the free drinks & sweeties in the mini bar. Really unexpected and a nice touch. The room was so clean! Couldn't fault anything. AND we arrived in the morning, only hoping to leave our suitcases somewhere safe while we wandered around London -- but our room was ready! Couldn't believe it. One of our favourite London hotels now, for sure.

United StatesThe room was located in the 2nd building so it required taking two elevators. Not easy with luggage. It was not near the front desk at all and we booked it 6 months in advance. I was wondering if you book on line through Expedia or Booking.com, if they give you the rooms furthest from the front desk. The air conditioner was very weak. Lighting was not the best, two lamps in our room were out.
The hotel is beautiful and is centrally located. It's right near two train stations, which is perfect for sight seeing. Staff was attentive. They held our luggage and brought it directly to our room before we were able to check in. Every morning if you requested a wake up call, they followed up by knocking on your room door. That was a nice touch! Very nice amenities such as robe, slippers and beautiful toiletries.

United KingdomThe only criticism was that on both mornings, our coffee pot, when placed on our table was just luke warm. An easy issue to resolve.
The room was on the side of the extended hotel, but it was really peaceful. The room was spacious and facilities very good. We probably had the best night's sleep in London ever - the bed was very comfortable and lovely plump pillows. Breakfast was very good, lots to choose from and attentive staff.

United KingdomThe television system is poor. We couldn't connect to iPlayer - we used the on screen instructions, with two different devices, but couldn't connect. Reception were helpful and provided a cable when we asked, but it didn't connect with an Apple tablet. We also couldn't work the air conditioning/heating system, and were much too hot the first night. Better the second night though.
Really nice, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location. The Room was a good standard, lovely bathroom and comfortable beds.
