Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The bathroom was quite tight and there is a lack of ventilation. And the potential for a large fine if steam got into the main room, made for a rather uncomfortable and humid bathroom.
It was a great location with yummy breakfast and good sized beds. The blockout blinds are amazing!

There is a nightclub next door, Mr. B's, so if you are not part of the nightlife crowd and do what to actually go to sleep at night, I would recommend elsewhere. Mr. B's keep their doors open blaring their music, my microwave plate was rattling and my water on my bedside was moving whilst on the 9th floor. The shower facilities definitely need to be looked at, I had 2 rooms while there and both rooms the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and just flooded. One of the shower doors was wonky and didn't close and split more water on to the floor. You have to shower with the door closed or it will set of the smoke alarm - but there is NO ventilation in the bathroom, no exhaust fan, it was awful. The hotel controls the air con, me and my friend were not appreciative of this. I am paying for my stay I want complete control. There are sensors in the rooms and the air con turns off within 30 minutes of leaving the room, this was also just not on! It was hot, so whenever we returned to our rooms we returned to a hot box. Take the sensors out of the rooms, we are paying enough money to have a nice cool room to return to! The elevator sounds, it dings 5x and there is NO soundproofing, at all! The walls are like cardboard, and actually move when the door is shut next door. My whole bed would move because the walls move when the neighbors closed the door. You can hear everything on the streets even on the 16th floor. One morning the housekeeping started at 7am, vacuuming with the door open, I am on holiday, I do not require a 7am wake up call by a vacuum when I am trying to relax. I did open my door and ask housekeeping "what the hell?". The eggs! Whyyyyy are the scrambled eggs so oily? They were disgusting. There was little choice at breakfast, but still enough to get fed. Nothing to write home about. I am well aware this is a "budget" accommodation, but it was still an expensive stay with the higher weekend rates.
The staff, I cannot fault them, they were always helpful, and very sorry about the nightclub noise, it seems that the Ibis staff are always trying to get on top of it, they complain, Mr. B's is fined, Mr. B's doesn't care and they just do it again. I tip my hat to the Ibis staff who have to deal with this. I was on the 9th floor, and after no sleep the first night, they moved me to the 16th floor to see if it was better for me, they tried to rectify immediately. Staff 10/10.

I paid cash for my breakfast. But when vacating hotel was charged again by my credit card. I wasn’t given a receipt for cash payment. They were very busy. But I should have asked for a receipt when I paid cash. I would not order breakfast again if I stayed there.
Very convenient. To Central Railway. Shopping.

One side of the bed was lumpy and the shower drain is too small for the shower and made the shower base fill up and leak out onto the bathroom floor.
