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 KingdomWe arrived to check in and was told due to late check out request of people staying night before we couldn’t check in and was asked to delay our check in for 1 hour post check in time (asked to wait till 3pm) which we declined due to having plans. The shower tray filled up so felt like a bath for feet. Informed reception of this but appeared not to be overly concerned.
Ideal location, close to tube and food places/bars. The room was big and spacious we had the “apartment style” for four people. Comfy beds, air conditioning and fans provided. Room was clean.

From location to style of the rooms to the staff I love this place. Always come to a clean air conditioned room even equipped with fridges. The shower is lovely and I get a great sleep on the beds. Definitely going back there.

United KingdomThe hotel was very nice and well maintained, with a pleasant atmosphere throughout. However, there were a few issues worth mentioning. The TV in our room didn’t work due to poor signal, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the TV and attached box were positioned directly above my daughter’s bed, and she accidentally bumped her head on it a few times - not the safest placement. There was a single chair at a small dressing table, but it had no padding and felt very unstable, as if you might fall through it when you sat down. It would have been nice to have a couple of comfortable chairs or a small table and chairs for sitting somewhere other than the beds. One of the windows didn’t have a latch and blew open during the night, which was a little unsettling. We also noticed some hygiene issues on arrival: there were hairs on the pillows, and the small grey cushion had visible makeup stains, didn’t appear clean, and had an unpleasant smell. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but these small details did detract from the experience.
The property is absolutely beautiful, and the staff were warm and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel is ideally located, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and excellent transport links - the underground station is just a short 5-minute walk away. We felt completely safe exploring the area, and everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly.

United KingdomIt looked like there had been a leak of some sort, which has damaged some of the flooring in the main room, and the tiles in the bathroom. They could do with being replaced or repaired professionally. The wardrobe door opened onto the front door fire door hinge, which meant it didn't open fully and the wardrobe door kept hitting it. By around 9am, there was no hot water in the shower. Lovely and hot and powerful at other times though!
A decent sized room for our family, consisting of a king sized and a single bed, with a good sized bathroom. The room was air-conditioned, which was welcomed during the heatwave! The room also had a TV, microwave, fridge, a sink for washing dishes, and a wardrobe. New towels were provided daily, as well as bins being emptied daily. The staff were friendly and helpful. On arrival, we were able to leave our bags in reception until check in time. After checking in, the staff on duty helped us take our luggage to our rooms. Hotel is very close to tube, train and bus links, with a huge variety of small supermarkets and cafés nearby.

United KingdomThe air conditioning unit required maintenance & servicing, water dripping from this. Parking is an additional cost and for the price of the room I feel this could have been included.
This property boasts a prime location with excellent access to public transportation and a variety of local amenities. Shops, cafes, and parks are all within walking distance, providing both convenience and ease for daily living.

United KingdomNothing really ticked all the boxes.
Far enough away from Finsbury park, but close enough to walk 30 mins approx. Room although we weren't in there very long was nice and big enough. Bed comfortable and some self catering facilities included a fridge, microwave and toaster with some tea/coffee sachets. Shower was decent with a fair pressure and hot. We turned up early and were given an early check-in which was nice as it meant we could get to our event sooner. Parking although £20, it was very secure and spacious.
