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 KingdomNothing it was all great
When I arrived at this picturesque marvel of an old pub from times long forgotten, my senses where overwhelmed by exotic spices and took me back to my times travelling around the Indian subcontinent. The concierge service was to one of the highest of standards when he allowed us to check in 30mins early without extra cost, he also arranged the borrowing of a phone charger. The waterfall in the long since abandoned public bar was also and lovely added extra to have. When shown to my room I walked down the rich mahogany walkway, which I would say wouldn't be outdated to the modern contemporary decor that bazil faulty would be proud of. The bed was extremely comfortable and made me feel like a marshmallow given hug. I would fully recommend staying here if you are absolutely inebriated to the point of not return.

United KingdomOk for us 2 London Loop walkers, but I wouldn't take my wife there! Staff friendly but reception odd as still looks like a bar with a few settees. Not a problem for us though.
Absolute bargain. Basic but adequate for a no frills stay. 15 mins walk to Kingston & the Thames. Comfortable bed, plenty warm enough. Bathroom & shower good.

United KingdomDidn't matter in the context of our stay but for anyone needing more than a bed for 7hrs, would have been disappointing. Example - shelf in one room was actually falling off the wall, so unuseable ... Parking was a considerable pain but manageable if an early depart. With local restrictions it would have been a problem had we been leaving after (IIRC) 0800.
Basically all that was required, clean, warm, comfy beds, for 6 or 7 hours sleep. Allowed a late checkin which we needed. Early checkout was likewise not an issue.

United KingdomI have never stayed in a worse property. the carpet was carpet tiles on wood but not glued so we’re loose. the microscopic bathroom absolutely stank! I think the drains had backed up. no welcome (no reception!). one puny pillow per bed that gave absolutely no support so had a really bad night as a result- we didn’t take shower as we felt we would come out less clean than when we went in. -10 out of 10

United KingdomArriving army the property, we encountered no parking, minimal street parking in what appeared to be a run down area, I’m not a snob but feeling safe, myself for my vehicle is paramount! On entering the hotel our 2 teenage children asked to leave, saying it can’t possibly meet 1 star! We reluctantly checked in as we had plans had already paid two days before as a requirement! The guy who checked us in was ‘polite’, showed us too our room which was ‘shocking’. we had a ‘family interlinked room’ twin and double beds, had a kitchenette also, the door on the twin room locked by Yale but opened part way on pushing and felt insecure and left us in a position of not wanting to leave our things in our room nor car as neither felt safe!!! we checked out the twin room as comments were already been made that this place wouldn’t be clean. And the kids could see a thick black cob web in the corner near one bed. on the same bed we’re bugs of some sort, that was it, neither teen would sleep in that room I cleared the bugs but it made no difference they move in the double with us…4 in a bad, no sleep, in a disgusting room was not ideal considering we had a booking for a 21st birthday @ 10am in Greenwich!!! we got up to leave, having had an hours sleep, checked the twin room and more bugs were back on the bed and was glad our teens hadn’t slept in there! the only saving grace was the shower that had hot water, clean towels to scrub the uncleanliness off before we left and that hadn’t come quick enough! we paid £100, for this one disgusting night…feel absolutely robbed to have paid that amount of money for not even the basics, of cleanliness, and security, it wouldn’t meet a 1 star, and I agree with other negative reviews bookings shouldn’t even be allowed to be made!!! They are not exaggerating, they are been honest and the positive reviews well ‘only knows’ where you’ve stayed before to rate as ‘good’!!!!!!!!!!
It pains me to write this review, as I am always so reasonable, accommodating, understanding etc, but I would not want anyone/any family travelling with children to book this hotel! I have stayed in many budget accommodation, youth hostels whilst travelling over the years but this really was the worst, from parking up outside to been traumatised by what we found inside! There was nothing to like about our stay here!

United KingdomThe whole place inside and out is disgusting. my room was supposed to be £60 but I was informed I would have to pay another £25 on top for a twin room that I had “booked for one person”. As soon as you arrive at the property, which is in the middle of “the hood” it is an old run down pub that is actually a pub. The outside was littered with booze bottles and takeaway containers. The “reception” is what used to be the bar and just stinks to the high heavens of food and is completely filthy. The rooms are even worse. Filthy carpets, walls, pillows, blankets, mattress’s. You will need something on your feet even in the rooms. The bathroom still had faeces in it. The bathroom smelt of urine and mould. The shower and shower curtain have not been cleaned in a long time! There was hair, old soap and mould all in the shower. I was even reluctant to was my hands in the sink everything was that dirty. And to add insult to injury even though o slept in ALL my clothes I have still come back with bed bug bites! Management don’t care. There are no standards in the place just money grabbing people and a shoddy service!
Absolutely nothing.

United KingdomAwful and disgusting avoid at all cost… Having checked in i had a look around the two rooms i had booked and found the following, please see pictures attached I spoke to the male who had checked us in and told him that i require to get back to work however i expect the room to be clean or to allocate us with another room. The male reassured us that the room will be cleaned upon our arrival at around midnight. To our displeasure the room was not cleaned and left in the same state that it was when we checked in. There was rubbish around our beds, carpets was sticky, cigarette smell in our room, blood stained shower curtains and shower unit and also a flush that did not work and the electricity kept tripping out. Due to no one being at reception at the time we arrived at midnight we could not make a complaint and due to the time of year it was booking another hotel was too expensive. It came to a point were we had enough and end up sleeping in our cars. I expect a full refund and will be taking this matter further with trading standards as the hotel has failed in its cleanliness but also health and safety issues.
Dreadful avoid at all cost!
