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 breakfast was really delicious and there was a wide choice. The location was central, at the entrance of the hotel is the bus stop, opposite the train and metro.

United KingdomWe were situated on the top floor, and as the hotel has no lifts this was quite a slog. Not ideal for anyone with mobility's issues.
The Hotel was ideally situated at Waterloo station, so is an excellent staging post for a visit to London. It is also a fairly busy pub, with an excellent choice of food and drinks. The breakfast was complimentary and very tasty, sets you up nicely for the day. The room also had a fridge, with some complimentary drinks inside. The shower facilities were good for the size of the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful, throughout our stay.

NetherlandsDespite the double window which blocked sounds amazingly, still loud noises from passing trains 4x hour. Very busy and loud pub below with television screens everywhere - didn't feel comfortable going down or eating in the pub. I hadn't expected this from the information on booking.com. Also when a football game is on and it is very busy, children are not allowed in the pub downstairs! Note: noises from the pub were not audible in the hotel room. Except for ordering a (good) egg dish there was almost nothing to eat at breakfast. Stair case narrow: couldn't navigate with both my backpack and suitcase at the same time.
Perfect location in centre of Londen, across the street from Waterloo station, next to restaurants and shops. Nice, clean room, nice shower.

United KingdomThe noise. We were not informed during check in of a limited breakfast service on the day we left and arrived o minutes after 9am, breakfast finished at 9. The staff member spoke with was initially abrupt and quite angry, it seems there were a few of us not informed of this which put their morning plans back. I wanted to leave and get breakfast elsewhere as I felt like we had out the hotel out! However he offered to make us breakfast 'as long as we were quick' and later apologised for his manner. Which I appreciated. Our room was up 3 flights of steep narrow stairs, travel light if you're on the top floor!
Good location for travelling around, however extremely noisy at night. Even with the windows closed and the provided earplugs (a nice touch) it still was loud enough to disturb a light sleeper.
