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...).

United KingdomFridge wasn’t particularly cold. I bought milk for the baby which didn’t feel cold in there. There were 2 lights out if order and one just servicing pent house so we couldn’t get in a lift at floor 1 with the buggy and already full.
The room was lovely and large for a family with a bath for the children which was great.

Excellent location; the lobby, the bar and the restaurant are very nice; the buffet style breakfast is great with lots of choices of food, fruits and vegetables; the hotel staff is efficient, helpful and friendly; the check-in and check-out services are smooth and easy.

United KingdomBreakfast was okay but not a massive fan of a buffet style hot breakfast as by the time you come to eat it, the eggs and beans never look too hot. Would have preferred just to order a cooked breakfast to the table. The kettle didn't quite reach the plug so was awkward to use. Milk wasn't replenished the next day for tea and coffees but the reception were happy to supply some more milk when asked.
Quite a good variety of options at breakfast and the pastries were a good addition. The room was clean. The location was great, just round the corner from the tube station.

GermanyThere was a red chair in the room which had an unpleasant smell but am sure this can be taken care of with some fabric freshener spray. A walk in shower would have been more comfortable but it was totally fine for a couple of days.
The location of the hotel is perfect - just around the corner from Gloucester Road station. I requested a quiet room which was fulfilled - for London hotel rooms the size of the room was HUGE:-) The bed was very comfortable. Due to a plumbing issue there was no water on the first morning of my stay but I received a complimentary breakfast voucher so had the chance to experience breakfast which was very good - lots of variety! Kudos to the staff for keeping everything running smoothly -there were a lot of people there and it was very busy! I will be adding this hotel as a favorite to check for availability etc for my next trip to London for sure!

United KingdomThe concierge team were extremely rude and unhelpful. Upon departure, I approached the concierge team / desk to ask them a question. One took their glasses off an ignored me all together, and the other said they didn’t know - end of conversation! I thought the concierge were the team that can do anything, and are tipped upon receipt of service - not the case here! Pretty disappointing after a rather positive and pleasant stay.
The staff in the restaurant were fantastic, a great team who were super polite and efficient. Hotel was clean, great location and was perfect for our trip.

United StatesI live in Asia and I am used to being pampered by hotels. The fact that there was no bottled water or toiletries was a bit of a disappointment.
The staff was awesome and very accommodating. The location was very convenient; nice neighborhood, close to good restaurants and convenience stores, and next to the metro.
