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 KingdomThere was no full length mirror which was annoying. There was also no information in the rooms about what they offered in the restaurants/bars or for breakfast, and you couldn’t have breakfast to your room. Also no info as to what was around you.
Location was great, rooms were a good size. I would stay again.

CanadaHousekeeping was not consistent each day. Some days they replenished complimentary water bottles and other days we had to call housekeeping to request. Bathroom amenities were also almost non-existent save for few tubes of shower gel... no shampoo/conditioner/ shower caps/ lotions/ etc...
It's adjacent to Gloucester Road Station and thus very convenient .

United KingdomIt felt a little like we were being rushed out of the room for housekeeping - I completely understand they have a lot of work to do, but maybe an option would be to offer a choice of not having housekeeping when only staying a couple of nights, as we were. Overall, a great place to stay, particularly for the Albert Hall and nearby museums. I imagine we will return for our next trip to the area.
Friendly reception staff, great location, and plenty of restaurants and take-aways nearby. Room was an excellent size, and everything was spotlessly clean.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little nostalgic and could use a facelift outside, however for the price you are paying cannot complain.
For the price I paid it was definetly good value for money. I came with my 4 year old boy. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were all very courteous. Location is very good as just a stones through away from Gloucester Rd Tube station so easy to get around as well as having lots of local eateries around.

United StatesFresh coat of paint and new carpeting in the rooms would be of benefit.
I had stayed here in the 1990s and remembered how convenient it was -- literally a few feet away from the Gloucester Road Underground station, plus a short walk to the V&A, Royal Albert Hall and even Harrods -- and also how safe and pleasant the neighborhood was. The hotel is pretty much as I remember it -- the room was a little bit downtrodden albeit comfortable, and I was happy to be able to use the hotel's gym -- and I would definitely stay here again in the future.
