Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Bathroom being shared and outside of the room is a bit awkward but everything was kept very clean.
Brilliant Location at a great price and right across the road from the Camden Market. Host was very friendly and welcoming and guided me through finding the hotel and the facilities. The room was very clean and comfortable.

The hotel needs a sign to make it easier to find.
The location of the hotel room was directly opposite the entrance to the Camden Market which was amazingly convenient.

It may be a bit noisy and the curtains could be replaced by a blackout curtain. The early morning light came through the window very early.
The location was perfect, just opposite Camden Market and the attention was great as the manager was in touch for check in and check out giving us specific instructions.

The room could benefit from a wardrobe, as there was no where to hang clothes. And maybe a second mattress upon the additional put-up single bed too? Like a topper mattress?
The communication and how welcoming Jafar was. As everything went smoothly. The accommodation was clean and was in a great location. We can’t fault anything. Also, this gem of a place is sited bang smack opposite the vibrant Camden Market, 15 minutes walk to the zoo, and surrounded by truly fantastic shops. Including a brilliant MOD- clothing shop too. For the children, you must visit the nearby Babylon Park (Babylon park.com). And of course, Jafar’s very own Candy Store ! Finally, you’ve gotta experience the 90 Minute Regency River Boat ride.

Nothing to point here.
Jafar was an incredible guest, truly amazing with us and with our five year son. He will help you with anything you need. The location is great and the bed was really confortable. Despite being a busy area (next to the Camdem Market) we didn't feel any noise that would prevent us from resting.

Weird that there was no window in the room, but I didn't care about it. It was still absolutely enjoyable. The only "bad" thing: I could here the people in the room next to me, but I guess those people were way too loud😅 it's part of travelling😊 Still I recommend this accomodation.
The room was nice, warm, clean and the bed super comfortable. Jafar made my stay perfect. He always made sure I had everything I needed. Very nice guy🥰 I definitely suggest this accomodation for a short stay in London. Great location in the centre of Camden and not noisy to be where it is. And I will contact him again next time I will be in London😊💪🏽
