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 room we stayed in was looking ‘tired’ and could’ve done with a good face lift. The lift was rated to 5 people (300+kg) although it was pretty full with 2 of us and our small luggage bags.
Lovely old building. Modern reception, bar and dining room.

United KingdomWe requested a twin room, which was confirmed, but when we arrived our room was made up as a double, we queried this with reception and we were told it would be sorted on two occasions. Eventually we were given separate rooms, which was fine. It was just a shame that this small request wasn't actioned because the rest of our stay was great.

United KingdomI was overcharged when checking out I didn't realise until I'd left and had to phone when I got home. I think it was a restaurant problem, but I wasn't given an itemised bill printout to check at checkout, which would have revealed the error immediately. The person on the telephone did resolve the matter for me and I was refunded. Despite leaving feedback many times re the lack of decaf tea in the room and restaurant, it is STILL not available and I have to provide my own teabags. Decaf coffee is available, WHY NOT TEA?
It's so convenient for Gloucester Road underground station with good connections to get to King's Cross/ St Pancras and all areas of London . The breakfast is good and the restaurant provides reasonably priced meals from a small menu.

United KingdomTired room although very clean the deco was very tired, sofa arms worn cushions had lost their shape Bathroom also tired , shower over the bath had the typical swing panel which leaked water onto the floor , wash basin had hairline crack , floor tiles although not unstable were loose. Only limited tea and coffee supplied e.g only one breakfast tea bag ( for 2 of us) only 2 milk portions . I’m sure more could be supplied but the start point should be correct. Although through booking . Com I had breakfast included . Twice I was asked to pay for the breakfast (£52 each time) . I didn’t pay for them and the hotel accepted that my stay included breakfast but why ask twice?
Traditional decor restaurants and lower greeting area, the staff were really attentive and very well presented , I particularly liked the restaurant head of house she was brilliant !
