How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing we didn’t love!!!
Everything was perfect. Location close to the tube and so close to Notting Hill and Portobello Road. Surrounded by tons of restaurants and cafes. Breakfast is incredible too! Can’t wait to be back.

Air quality in the rooms
Everything was good. Very nice and helpful staff, clean rooms, tho a little bad air quality inside the rooms, felt a little suffocating when you woke up. But loved the hotel, will be staying there again if we come back to London.

Excellent location with friendly service and clean, comfortable rooms. I stayed for two nights, and despite the room facing a busy avenue, it was quiet at night. I especially appreciated the option to skip daily room cleaning, with the thoughtful incentive of a free drink for those who choose it. A great stay overall!

As always in London, the rooms are a bit tight but that is just the way it is in London. Not much you can do about it. I find the request to check-in online, which I do, and then have to go through the same process at check-in a bit repetitive and unnecessary, especially when I have travelled for over 24 hours from Australia and all I want to do is have a shower and go to sleep.
Breakfast N/A. Drinks and snack food good. Location very good as our daughter lives nearby.

No shelves in closet, just hanging, couldn’t unload the suitcase. No bathroom, toilet from which you enter the shower and no wall, just a curtain between the shower and the room. Not suitable for everyone. Sinceoverall I enjoyed the place. The there’s no bathroom, the sink is in the room. Very strange and not comfortable
Best location, helpful staff, very clean, and I loved the style of the lobby and was very nice to spend time there.

Feel very risky to not have phone in bedroom and no phone on reception for emergencies I was told any problems go to bar. That is not good enough at night Also very bad that one cannot phone the hotel. For example if my phone had broken or lost it and someone needed to contact me that would be impossible Could be someone in corridor causing disturbance and guest can’t get to reception Likewise have to leave room to make a drink.
Loved the bedroom

We have no complaints whatsoever.
We thought the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great - a continental style breakfast with good quality healthy produce and a vast variety - the bread was so fresh! The hotel has a fun colourful vibe and the bedrooms were all white and wood very calming and super clean - facilities were great and finanally a hotel that doenst put carpets in bedrooms - so much cleaner- loved teh extra touches of the mirrow with light buls and teh marshalls amps incase we wanted to play a guitar! Location couldnt have been better short walk to portobello, tube station 1 minute walk, safe area, and alot of restaurants bars in area.
