Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

IrelandThe breakfast was extortionately expensive and quite ordinary. The water in the room was only replenished once and it would have been nice to have more of it.
All was good, they didn't seem to be ready for us and immediately offered us an upgrade. The view was wonderful. The staff were friendly and efficient

United KingdomBedrooms are in need of a refresh but generally ok Sunday morning we got turned away for breakfast as it was too busy The route from the DLR is poor as the ExCel phase 3 has pretty much taken over the area, expect a labyrinth of pedestrian walkways and poor signage. The route from Customs House Elizabethan line along the Docks past ExCel is closed of by hoarding, no signposts
Nice hotel Good location Decent price for London Good run on the Elizabeth line into Town

United KingdomThe location is good if you have to go to London Excel but a bit of a pain if you are heading towards central London. Still doable though. The tv sadly didn’t work.
It is a very nice hotel, good value for money.

United KingdomThe £50 deposit is inconvenient, and it takes up to 30 days for the deposit to be reimbursed. I often stay at hotels, and in my experience, this is not common practice. It is unfortunate, as this will most likely affect my decision to stay at this hotel again. The online feature on the TV didn't seem to work as we wanted to watch the boxing. However, I did not report this to the reception.
The bed was very comfortable and the room had a lovely bathroom. There is also a huge TV in the room. However, I couldn't get online to watch the boxing. The hotel is clean and nice, and they gave us very tasty complimentary chocolate cookies.

United KingdomGreat stay for events at ExCel (otherwise a bit out of the way). The discounted parking is also a bonus too. We also travelled to ABBA Voyage from here too, with easy transit to the DLR station (about 5 min walk). All of the staff made this experience as everyone encountered was warm and friendly, especially the breakfast team and there were many options for breakfast.
