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.).

JapanThe shower room’s glass door was not fitted properly and the water leaked easily . The all rooms were refurbished and the room has steps but we were afraid of the steps . We preferred previous style flat room . Also there weren’t any plates and bowls , folks . The room had those things last year .
Location was excellent and I requested my room face to the high street , in front of the bus stop , lower floor and the hotel staff gave me the room which I wanted .

United KingdomCar park is accessed via a narrow winding route. not for the faint-hearted!
Staff were professional and welcoming. Friendly and very happy to help. Nothing was too much trouble. Hotel is in great location for access to public transport. We have stayed here before on trips to London. Eg. Theatre visits and other social occasions. Staff are all excellent. Cleanliness is first class. Good size rooms. Beds are very comfortable. Wonderful bathroom, with walk in shower and a full size bath. Great to relax in. Definitely recommend for a relaxing break in London Also recommend the Room service breakfast. Lots to choose from and good portions.

PortugalRoom 901 - stay away! Many issues, some noise (water) coming from the adjecent service room and elevators. Missing hand towel rail, strange smell in bathroom, flashing red light from fire/sprinkler device. The day after we changed to room 815 (same room type) and everything was fine (none of the above issues were present in the new room).
Excellent location Clean rooms Child friendly Breakfast was good with many options and fruits, although beware that if you order pancakes or omelet to be delivered to your table a service charge of £7 applies!

United KingdomThere was not much room between the bottom of the bed and the wall, so we were constantly knocking our feet on the corners of the bed. Also, the chair in the room didn't fit under the desk so this also made it difficult to move around the bed.around

United KingdomCan’t say there was much I didn’t like, I guess £4 for a 200ml glass bottle of Diet Coke was a bit of a surprise but that’s only cause I’m from the north :D
Staff were amazing and friendly, all the facilities were clean at all times and always happy to help. Had a great sense of privacy and safety, as someone not used to London, this was very important.
