Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomProbably my fault for not flagging the situation with reception, but the room was quite cold although the thermostat was on the highest it could go and the bathroom towel rail did not work. I should also mention that the desk light was faulty (I didn’t need it but I didn’t have time to mention it in the morning).

IrelandI could have done with another pillow however I never asked for one, (so not the hotel's fault by any means) but will do on my next visit to the hotel
The hotel was less than 100 metres from the underground so easily accessible. A short walk took me to Knightsbridge. The staff were very helpful and very obliging. A special mention to Yasmin and Tomi who made sure we could get into our room earlier than we expected.

United KingdomNo complaints. Everything was as expected or exceeded expectations.
The entrance to the hotel reception was tucked down a side area as opposed to front of building. At first, it was confusing, as it felt like we were walking under a parking lot or a building , especially due to the low lighting, however, soon as we started walking down and saw the reception doors and opposite the hotel club members area, it felt we were walking towards some grand 5 star hotel. Staff were ready to hold the door open and offer their guidance. The reception area was so lovely. Felt vibrant and very warm and Christmasy as we visited during the festive season. When reading some of the reviews online about the hotel rooms, I was a little worried, but booked anyway as I know everyone has different opinions. The rooms were big, we booked the King Suite. The room, I admit, it was basic, but size, lighting, room temp, facilities etc were perfectly fine. Didn't have any complaints during our stay. The rooms are not massively decorated to everyone's taste, to me, it's just basic but I didn't pay to have a feature wall or anything, I paid for a nice hotel, in a good location with polite staff and clean rooms and that's exactly what i got. Can't make any complaints about this stay.

JerseyI stayed at this hotel regularly a few years ago and thought it was really nice. It's getting a little tired now though and could do with refurbishment. A minor criticism though and I wouldn't let that put people off staying here.
Good location. Decent hotel. Absolutely fine for an overnight stop.

OmanI requested a late check out for 3pm in the reception and paid the additional fee, however the same staff member who took care of my request entered my room at 1:30pm without my consent asking me why i didnt check out yet.
Location was good, lots of shops and restaurants nearby, close to the undeground station. Tomi from the reception was exceptionally kind and helpful and assisted us with adding an extra bed to one of the booked rooms which was not planned earlier. Rooms were comfortable, they vary in size and configuration but overall rooms were clean and beds were comfortable.

FinlandBreakfast was great to our taste, service desk - especially Kinjal’s great and service minded attitude (e.g. she could upgrade me and my child as there were availability) - was awesome! The third item to mention is the fantastic location: you can take the tube basically everywhere, as the underground station is very close to the hotel. Very good for our short 4 day stay in London to experience the most of the city.

United StatesWe have stayed here many times through the years but it seems when one books through a third party rather than direct with hotel-you receive a less desirable room. Our room this time was over the casino front door and the people out front smoking, laughing and talking on their phones till 540am made our nights miserable!
The location is great-right next to the tube station, restaurants, grocery stores and a short walk to the Natural History Museum and V and A.
