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 KingdomI only have one suggestion and that is that some frosting on the lower glass of the sash windows would be great as then you could raise the blinds halfway and still have privacy and some natural light. The stick on cut to size stuff os very effective and aesthetically pleasing. Other than this everything was great!
I loved that we could park our car safely right outside the apartment. I loved that everything appeared new and very clean. We didn't get around to trying the newly opened Lion Gate Cafe opposite but they will give 10% off. We will try next time!

United KingdomHooks for coats near the door would be helpful. Also hooks on back of bathroom door for hanging clothes or towels. Maybe a shelf in bathroom too. We were in the studio, Anne Boleyn, one night boiler made a terrible noise, like a kettle over boiling but much louder, for 10 minutes or more, which was actually quite scary and drowned out the TV. I had to ring Mark, the manager, which I didn’t like doing at 9pm on a Sunday, but he was able to assure me that it was releasing pressure, not building it as I feared and it did stop. Perhaps it was because we had both showered, one after the other, but was not a nice experience. Mark however was very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. I would happily stay again if visiting the area in future.
Very clean and comfortable. Easy to find and parking good. Well equipped. Excellent location, Hampton Court, Bushy Park and Thames Riverside Walk in walking distance. Kew Gardens less than 30 mins by car. We had a lovely weekend.

United KingdomThe only thing really which would have made our stay better would have been if we had had a bit more space, but we booked what was available during the time we were visiting. Next time we'll book one of the one bedroom apartments instead of the studio. (We did have problems getting the electric induction hob to work, mind you, but managed it in the end!)
Excellent location, couldn't have been better. Very comfortable, well-equipped. Great to have free off-road parking. Very good communication in advance about how to get there, check-in arrangements, etc, and the team on-site were very attentive. Good attention to detail, eg. flowers and plants around the courtyard added to the experience.

United KingdomNot all the hob rings worked with the pans available yet no instruction book to explain this which meant I had to leave without breakfast my first morning. Also, privacy is an issue - the window into the apartment was where anyone needing to get to the reception area or the laundry room had to walk past - would be good to have some frosting on the lower window for privacy. Poor sound insulation from bathroom of flat above. And why not provide some salt, pepper and oil to go with the otherwise well-equipped kitchen? Lastly, no phone signal!
Well designed studio apartment with just about everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Great quality bed and good sound insulation from the main road outside the mews. Great to have the parking right outside too.

United KingdomThere was no sofa in the room when the description said there was. The room was next to reception so you could hear staff in the morning and also made you uncomfortable opening the blinds as staff and other guests could easily see in.
The location for Hampton court was excellent. It was also easy to walk to restaurants. Parking was easy (despite my fears). The room was spotlessly clean.
