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 KingdomRooms a bit on the smaller side. Hard to find somewhere to put your things in the bathroom - could do with a shelf. But otherwise brilliant.
Great location right near Battersea Power Station and the tube. Rod and his team were extremely welcoming. Surprisingly quiet at night given the location. Great breakfast.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing 😊
We travelled from leeds and had a 3 hour delay on the train due to a fault on the breaks, I emailed the hotel and was reassured that we would still be able to book in, on arrival ( nearly midnight) nothing was too much trouble a warm welcome by Rod and showed us to our room and left us to get some sleep having a early appointment for my granddaughter at the US Embassy we were welcomed to a fabulous breakfast and the same fabulous hospitality. I would highly recommend the Duchess Bell to anyone clean comfortable and excellent staff, thank you Rod and staff for an excellent stay.

United KingdomFantastic !! On arrival we had a very happy welcoming by the staff behind the bar, who led us to check in. They asked us if we would like our complimentary drinks now or later which we thought was a lovely touch as unexpected. We met Rod (manager) at check in who was also very welcoming and friendly and stayed that way throughout our stay, he called you by name and made time to come and speak if he saw you. The hotel is wonderful !! The location is literally opposite the tube station, so very very convenient after a day of sightseeing. In the bar area Wether you sit inside or out you can see a TV for sports ETC.. there is also a balcony on the first floor overlooking the power station where you can sit and drink whilst people watching, The rooms are small which makes it cosy, beds and pillows very comfortable. Overall our stay was fantastic and will 100% be booking here again when visiting London, we could not fault 1 thing with this hotel….. Thank you x

United KingdomAll around friendlier staff would have been great the main bartender that was working and some understaff were very abrupt and sometimes ignored us.
Some of the staff was exceptional, the older gentlemen and an older lady that helped us were great. Some of the other staff were more abrupt and nearly rude. The interior was charming and the food was good.

United KingdomI really can't think of anything. It's not that things couldn't be improved I guess but there was nothing that occured to me at the time or now afterwards.
- Great rooms, really comfortable beds - Great atmosphere in the pub and outside yard - Really friendly and attentive staff (thanks Rod and Ahmed!) Just what you expect from a pub stay, but this time in the city!

United KingdomBreakfast was excellent. Large portions, superbly cooked and served with a smile. Cocktails great with affordable prices. Balcony in the sunshine with flower boxes around. The most friendly and welcoming team which made the stay. Looks even better than on the photographs. We really lucked out in this little oasis just a short stroll from Battersea power station.

United KingdomI like that it has almost everything that a 5 star hotel can provide you. But obviously they are not a 5 star hotel, they really have put every detail to match. Well done. Breakfast was provided and on the day the we were serviced by AHMAD, he was exceptional. So thank you so much.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great. All staff were friendly. We were quite surprised how much effort they have put into this property. I can sense passion in their project. Well done.

United KingdomNothing really. The rooms are not very big, but in our case it was not a problem.
It’s a beautiful pub, it’s directly opposite the exit of the Battersea Power Station underground, the room was lovely and very clean. Also there was very good soundproofing from the windows, and we were located near the road, so we were very impressed by this too. The staff was very nice and welcoming, we enjoyed the food we had and the outdoor seating (with massive outdoor TVs!) at the back is made to look very pretty and light, I loved the butterflies everywhere there!

United KingdomThe rooms were a little on the small side but I have stayed in smaller rooms in London so I didn't mind this. Although the pub downstairs is dog friendly, unfortunately the hotel rooms are not which is a little disappointing but I can understand why they may not want to.
Great location opposite Battersea Power Station with the tube literally across the road so it was very easy to commute around the city. Clean comfy rooms even if they are on the small side but if you're a Pink Floyd fan, you'll love it. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and there is a good breakfast served every morning. Although it is situated above a great dog friendly pub, I couldn't hear much noise coming from the pub during my stay. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.
