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.).

CanadaRoom had no view, breakfast was delicious but area is too small, no natural light, no outdoor sitting area at hotel. Couldn't find lobby when I walked in
Location was amazing, close to everything. Truly perfect. Rooms was very quiet as requested. Nice complimentary fruit and nuts upon arrival.

AustraliaIt is a little bit expensive, but you pay to be in a convenient location to major attractions which we were ok with.
The location is within walking distance to transport, the London eye, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, which was very convenient.

NetherlandsI wish the room rates were more "friendly
I stay regularly at The Great Scotland Yard first of all because it is a relatively small hotel with super nice staff especially in the restaurant and the bar. (The other staff embers are also nice, but one has less contact with those). The hotel is in the old Scotland yard station in Westminster and one must compliment the architect and the interior decorators on a top job. You have to see it for yourself, but it makes it a to go to place even if the rates are high (but that is London for you)

United KingdomThe hotel is in a great location for what we needed. The room was lovely. The only thing that let the hotel down was the food. We had 3 meals there and they were mostly so so. Lunch was quite expensive and not great. Room service meal was mediocre. Breakfast was OK, except for lukewarm coffee. At all time, however, staff was nice.

United StatesFascinating property in unbeatable location. From here it’s a short walk up to Trafalgar Square or down to the Royal Horseguards and a stretch of the leg to Westminster Abbey or Buckingham Palace. And if you’re planning to take in the theatre, The Duchess of Malfi is right around the corner. This hotel is meticulously crafted in all respects to offer a unique, unforgettable experience. Staff were helpful and charming. Rooms were well designed and extremely comfortable. And since I love a theme as well as British crime and detective stories, I was in my element.
