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

Room was a little cramped. We had a twin with an extra pull out bed. Pull out bed was not very comfortable. Wasn’t keen on the toilet roll so near the floor.
Good location. Closer than I realised to some great London spots. The separate toilet and shower was good and the actual shower was so amazing.

Minor issues. It was a particularly hot weekend and the room was uncomfortably hot and stuffy on arrival but improved with some window ventilation. The shower force could have been delivered with a little more pressure.
Didn't opt for any food options (although the Faulty Towers Experience looked most entertaining) as there was so much choice nearby. The location was as expected, really great and the hotel felt very safe. Highly recommended.

The flex in the room was allergic and I coughed all night, probably disturbing the neighboring rooms too. We had a laundry emergency because of our baby and we asked 3 different employees about the laundry service, all gave different answers, so we couldn't trust, there is no standard in this regard.
Away from the crowds, next to a beautiful park, british museum and one of metro station. Friendly and helpful staff.

It would have been good to be able to control the ventilation in the shower room, at times it didn't seem to be on and steam built up a bit.
Room was comfortable, no space to spare, but that's expected in London. Shower room was adequate and I give it a 'plus point' for having sufficient rails to hang towels on, this rarely happens in hotels! There was no air conditioning but an open window gave plenty fresh air. I imagine this might be a problem in the height of summer though. The staff (reception, breakfast and cleaners) were all very friendly and helpful.

When we got into our room 312 there was a very strong smell of cigarettes in the toilet. We did report this to Reception and they arranged for Housekeeping to come to the room and spray the toilet with air freshener. This took the smell away for a while, but we noticed that the smell was still present when we returned after our trip to the theatre.
The location of the hotel for transport links and access to theatres.
