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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomRooms slightly on the small side The party was not informed there was an outside area, as our room was located on the other side of the building. Breakfast area was on the small size and guest had to wait
The rooms we stayed in were very clean and tidy, the room was decorated very nicely but a little on the small side. Fans were installed in the room, which were needed during our stay. The staff were pleasant. Our stay was very enjoyable. The continental breakfast just hit the spot. My only criticism is that the signage for the hotel is not visible from the roadside. So you can walk past and miss the building. I would return and stay again if I needed to be that side of London.

New ZealandSO great! I would highly recommend this place for a solo traveller. So affordable and had EVERYTHING you needed. From USBC charging to a cute little coffee/tea set up. Such a great stay. Breakfast was basic but all you needed. I will be back! For this price - it was amazing

United KingdomHotel was nice enough, however the impact of no air conditioning was greatly felt. A fan had been provided for the room which made for a more comfortable sleep, but it was a shame. I fully appreciate the history of the hotel, but it did appear air con was available but was not working. I had been informed of this beforehand, but just didnt expect it to be so hot!

SpainThough ideally located near the entrance and breakfast room, my room had a quite uncomfortable bed (105)
The room was clean and the TV had some free apps that I enjoyed. Staff were very nice and they kept luggage for free. Breakfast was great, with plant-based options like milks, yoghurt, cereals, toast, fruit...

SwedenThe breakfast was a bit lacking. Also the bed in my room was leaning to one side, so I had to sleep in a certain position so I wouldn’t fall out of the bed. It also got very hot in the room since there’s no AC, but it was manageable by using the fan.
Nicely decorated rooms, had all the facilities one could need and the location was really good, only a short walk from the West end, Soho and Chinatown.

United KingdomWas on lower ground with a window where people were often walking past, so kept my curtains closed for most of the stay, however it did have a netted curtain so keeping curtains closed isn't necessary, it was more just my preference.
Great price considering breakfast was Included and the location was amazing. I arrived there early and could leave my bags in reception until I could check in, this allowed me to go explore in the meantime. Location is great with tubes nearby and Euston station about at 10-15 min walk. Right around the corner from the British Museum. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast room is small, which they do state to guests, so getting to breakfast early is a good idea. Decent selection for breakfast, better than what I expected - a range of hot and cold food. Room was cozy but clean, smart tv, en suite, comfy beds. I was on the lower ground, so could sometimes hear footsteps above me but nothing too disrupting. Plug sockets next to bed which is handy and a floor length mirror.

EstoniaThere was no air conditioning in the room, and the heat during our stay was truly abnormal. It was very stuffy inside, and a single fan running constantly didn’t help much. :(
The triple room was quite spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Housekeeping was done daily. The breakfast was modest but absolutely sufficient for us. The hotel's location was excellent — just a few minutes' walk from the British Museum and the Zoological Museum. The metro station was nearby, and it was only a couple of stops to the city center. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

UkraineThe hotel is centrally located, easy to get to anywhere in the city, both on foot and by public transport. It is an old building, which gives it a certain spirit of old London. However, this means there is no lift to the upper floors. The rooms are small, although everything is there: a safe, a kettle, a hairdryer. There was a problem with the tap in the bathroom, which was fixed only after two days. But the staff is very polite and helpful. The breakfast is very poor - there are no hot dishes at all.
