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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyThe staff in the pub could have been a bit nicer, but that's all. Staff for check-in and during breakfast was very nice, so maybe we just had bad luck the night we had dinner there (the pub was packed, so maybe that's also why).
Cozy room (we even got an upgrade!), clean and quiet considering how great the location was. Super close to the tube station, bus stop in front of the hotel. The neighbourhood is great, you can have a stroll around Chelsea and Kensington Palace is within walking distance or a short bus ride away. Amazing breakfast (small buffet plus you can order one item from the menu, I got the English breakfast every day and it was great). Welcome drink in the pub and discount on the food.

Belgium... except one, who was almost impolite.
Small but very comfy and clean room. Good bed. Nice pub at the ground level (which we could not hear at all from our room at the second floor). Little noise from the street. All the staff members we've met were very kind and helpful ...

Rooms were clean, had a work space, coffee machine, refrigerator, with plenty of toiletries. Also, the rooms were tidied up daily which was a nice surprise. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay great. Morning breakfast was delicious with many options. Location could not have been better being so close to the underground station. There was a grocery store across the street and many restaurant choices just a few steps away. We ate at the Blackbird restaurant and enjoyed the food and local beer. If I’m in London again, this is where I’ll stay and I will highly recommend to all!

Czech RepublicNot much space to store or hang up your clothes. It is alright if staying for weekend but not a week.
Great location near the underground station, the area is really nice and if one doesn´t mind to walk, you can reach the city centre by walk. The restaurant is really nice and the breakfasts were amazing! The room is quite small but cosy.

IsraelPossibly smells from the pub, which I felt only faintly, may be unwelcome to rooms on the lower floors.
It is an intimate, thoughtfully decorated place. A very pleasant pub/restaurant downstairs. Very convenient location, just across the road from Earl's Court station. A direct ride from Heathrow.

United KingdomThere wasn't much I didn't like. However, the great shame was the breakfast being undercooked, almost as if it was just warmed through rather than cooked fresh. The sausage was raw pink in the middle, clearly not cooked, and the black pudding and beans were just lukewarm. A little training required I think. We had lunch there another day and we were very pleased with it. All the food we saw looked great. Shame about the breakfast.
The Whole pub had a great quality feel about it. Everything was in good repair and nothing looked tired. Everything was spotlessly clean. We booked a small double, which was beautifully presented, however it was just a little too small as there was nowhere to keep our baggage, other than leaving it in the bag and retrieving what we needed daily. The bathroom was also beautiful with great quality fittings. The space saving sink was just a little too small, mainly due to the shelf above it. A corner tower style shelf would have been better. Nevertheless a lovely property with lovely staff.

SwitzerlandThe room was a little bit dusty.
We got an upgrade to standard room (booked the small room) and that was very nice. The room and bathroom is spacious for London and looked exactly like in the pictures. Breakfast was included in the price and it’s a la carte. We like it very much. The location is amazing, almost in front of Earl’s Court underground station, that is served with direct trains to Heathrow and to most touristic areas.
