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...).

AustraliaWell, this could be my issue when booking but the room size was exceptionally small. We had no room to move as the bed took up most of the space but hey we made it work 😊
The staff made this property well worth staying at. Nothing better than feeling welcome and acknowledged when you walk in. They offered suggestions on things, had a chat with us and really went out of their way to give great service.

Trinidad and TobagoThere was one person I asked if I could get a heater in the room, and he brushed off my need for it and also told me to put the ac on the lowest. I also told him the room phone was not working, and he did not send anyone to fix the next day, so I had to walk to the lobby if I needed assistance with anything. That was my only peeve. The breakfast leaves much to be desired. I paid for the english breakfast, thinking it was buffet only to realize it's just one single serving. It also took very long to come out. The normal buffet was available but limited. I ended up eating that because the english was taking so long. My daughter barely touched hers. I wouldn't get breakfast again in the future.
The location Front staff, for the most part, we're extremely helpful and pleasant. I'm sorry I did not get the names of the two guya who helped often.

United KingdomWe were just about to leave the room 5 minutes before check out when someone came knocking, asking when we were going to leave; felt a bit rushed out of the hotel. The room was on the underground floor, and there was a strong smell in the hallway, but the room smelled nice
Well located, friendly staff, comfortable bed, good-sized room.

United KingdomI was given an upgrade from a single to a double room. However, whilst the extra space of a double room was appreciated, overall I was disappointed with the room. The room decor is dated and very tired, which in itself isn’t a huge issue for me as long as the room is clean. However, the tiny bathroom was very dated, with cracked tiles and worn fixtures. It was quite grubby in parts,especially the shower cubicle. The sealant in the shower was dirty and looked unpleasant and there was even a dreaded hair lurking in there. The shower itself also had poor water pressure, not ideal when I had a long onward journey to look forward to. My view from the window wasn’t great, overlooking the rear of the hotel, with extractor fans and the like. For one night’s stay it was ok,but if I was staying for longer I definitely would’ve requested a room change due to the bathroom.
Great location, perfect for a visit to the Royal Albert Hall. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception area decor was clean, tidy and welcoming. The attached restaurant looked very nice but unfortunately I wasn’t staying long enough to try it out. The room was quiet and the bed was comfy and I had a good nights sleep.
