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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 stay was generally good. The only issue i had was with room service, I ordered through the phone and spoke to an Asian gentleman whose English was not great and he got my order wrong. I ordered 6 wings and fries, he went on to bring 6 plates of wings a side of fries. When I told him that this was not what I had ordered he insisted I pay for it as he couldn’t take back 5trays of wings, these were £10 per plate. He said he was new to the job etc but this is not an excuse. He became intimidating insisting it was my fault, I ended up paying as I didn’t want to ruin our trip.

United KingdomOur room hadn't been hoovered well on arrival. There were food remnants in the floor next to the bed. Rest of room ok. The location of the hotel is well away from the main sights however we knew this when we booked. Transport links into the city very good.
We liked the quiet position of the hotel on the riverside. Even though there were construction works going on next to the hotel, it was still very quiet for sleeping. Good breakfast too with lots of choice.

United KingdomThe pube left on my toilet seat was the worst part. I marked down facilities as there wasn't any I wanted to use. This is the first hilton I've been to without a pool. The lighting was 3 lamps and an overhead light by the door. I feel like more lighting would make it easier to put my makeup on.
Loved the cookie on arrival and the cute drinks station by the door. The bed was comfortable, and the room looked spacious. The staff were the best part. I didn't meet a single rude one they were all lovely and went above and beyond.

United KingdomThe building work outside the hotel and Excel was irritating because we had to walk much further to get to the station but that's not the hotel's fault.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were very attentive. Breakfast was superb and available from 6.30 till 10.30 (7 till 11 at weekends). The room was quiet. Great shower and a bath too. The air-conditioning was a little loud, a constant hum, but we slept well and it was certainly necessary in August! We've stayed in three other hotels nearby and this is probably the best.

United KingdomFor the money, everything was very good. I wish these chain hotels had a nice big shower enclosure instead of the unusual bath arrangement...who is coming to have a bath at a hotel at the Excel?! We did not use the hotel facilities so cannot comment on the restaurant/bar etc. The only thing to bear in mind is the rooms on the back of the hotel have a great view over the Thames, London City Airport and beyond. Whereas, the rooms on the front overlook a car park and building site. So pick wisely!!
We got the room at the London Excel Hilton Double tree at an excellent price as there was no events at the Excel on that day. As expected from a double Tree our stay was simple but very pleasant. The room was very clean and well appointed. A real highlight was the gentleman one hotel reception, whom could not have been more friendly or helpful.
