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.).

The atmosphere was very relaxing as a guest in the hotel. The staff were excellent, very attentive and charming. The food was delicious and there was a wonderful ambiance in both the sky bar and ground floor dining created by the stylish decor and the excellent staff who provided 5 star service without the starched shirts and bow ties!

United KingdomWe were hassled out of the downstairs bar area and not able to drink alcohol after 11pm which is a bit ridiculous as residents in a hotel. When I checked my invoicing, they had indeed charged me for 3 nights but they corrected this when I called, but I still needed to call.
There was a mix up with my booking, which was my mistake arriving a day late. After initially saying they couldn't do anything about it, they came good and moved my 2 night dates forward by a day as it was clearly a genuine mistake. As a result, I would go there again. The front desk staff were great.

United StatesStaff was not too welcoming. Coffee in the room is bad. A better version of instant or a Nespresso machine would be more pleasing.
The location is excellent, cute neighborhoods and access to central London. Great view, room is stylish and comfortable. Great that there is fresh milk for the 'coffee' and an empty minifridge for guests to use as they like.

Hong KongHox Benny and orange juice at Albie are a bit disappointing. It will be good if they also serve pancakes and English breakfast instead of item by item....
Very efficient, friendly and helpful staff, cleaniness of rooms, and porsche ambience at Seabird restaurant. Very hip and vibrant atmosphere on the whole. I do like the makeup room service only provided based on request. Daily free milk and drinking water are provided. The casual and yet comfy breakfast area at Albie. I felt like I was not in London, but rather sonewhere in a hiking resort.

IrelandVentilation could be better, you can't open a window to aerate the room and there was a bit of unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom, nothing too bad though. A bit of confusion with breakfast in the morning, we ended up paying for tea and coffee which I was told would be free when checking in. My partner wasn't aware of it so he didn't realise when he paid for the breakfast. Not a major issue but all staff should be on the same page.
Lovely trendy industrial urban style hotel in a great location, welcoming atmosphere & staff, amazing roof top bar, bedroom & bathroom was nicely decorated too, there was even fresh milk in the fridge as complimentary gift to make coffee or tea in the room!

United StatesNo irons in the room. Only this steamer thing that takes forever and a day to heat up, and doesn't work as well as an iron.
The VIBE of this place is amazing. It's got a sort of "young energy" and upbeat character that is really refreshing. If you like great food and drinks in the same hotel as high quality accommodations, this is the place for you. Seriously.
