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.).

United StatesThe staff was very helpful in storing our luggage both before we checked in and after we checked out. They also provided us with extra coffee when we requested it. The room was great and clean, in a very nice neighborhood we enjoyed walking in. Not too far to the underground station.

United KingdomIs a little dated but outweighed by comfort, cleanliness and price point.
All very clean and comfortable, very nice helpful and friendly staff. Very hot night and aircon didnt work but fan in room an opening windows so wasn't a problem. Location is very quite for London. Free parking at end of street for our motorbike. Hadn't stayed in Kensington before but will definately stay in this hotel on future trips as clean and comfortable in excellent quite location and reasonable price.

BelgiumThe lift sometimes didn't work with 4 passengers. There was no electricity on the last morning, but that's not the hotel's fault. The rooms do not have air conditioning and it's not possible to open the windows fully.
The hotel is clean, cozy and comfortable. The stuff is friendly. Beds are very comfortable. There were tea, coffee, water in the room. breakfast is typical for hotels: eggs, sausages and so on. Not far from tube station.

United KingdomThe breakfast was disappointing. Breakfast is served till 11am, we got there at 10am and hardly anything left on the buffet breakfast, so decided to order cooked breakfast. Waited 5 minutes after ordering then the waiter came out to tell us it would be about 20 minutes wait. So we decided to leave & have breakfast somewhere else.
Pleasing on the eye, clean & very comfortable & quiet.

United KingdomWhilst I got a room that is quiet, it is on the ground floor so the noise is away from the hotel but not from the main road. Also the room is right outside of the lavatories, so we did still have some traffic outside of the room.
The location is really good as we were spending the evening round Kensington. The room is very spacious for a very central London location. All amenities are available.
