How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe liked how clean the place looked. Looked very stylish. we also liked how prompt the owner was .
We didn't like the squeak from the doors and the banging. I think they need doorstoppers. And for the squeak maybe oiling or better quality doors. As for the number of people maybe a bigger bed should have been ordered as our bed felt like a single persons bed rather than for two.
Thank you for your feedback! The beds are chosen to fit the size of each room, and we make sure they’re comfortable within that space. Regarding the doors, they are fire doors, which means they close firmly by design for safety, not because of a defect. We appreciate your suggestions and are always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience.

Verified reviewThe location was the best. It was central to all the stations.The room was clean and had everything you needed. The kitchen was very useful.
Our room was in the loft. It had ceilings where u could bang your head. Also had to climb two levels with heavy bags. No lifts. The room was spacious for two people not three. Also on a hot day it was very hot.
Thank you for your review Sheila! We’re glad you enjoyed the central location and found the room clean and well-equipped. Regarding the loft, the photos show the stair access and ceiling height, and we do not advertise a lift, so guests can see what to expect. The space is designed comfortably for two guests, and we appreciate your feedback about the heat- fans are provided to help during warmer days.

Verified reviewLoved the room with large windows and view into the road and lawn.. Ventilation was spot on and enough storage space in the room for a 7 day stay..common areas had the basic amenities to cook and do laundry..the host was responsive and helped to correct the fuse trip issue due to a faulty kettle.. location was also quite close to shops, metro but a good quiet residential area..
1.Wifi was a bit volatile.. disconnecting randomly 2.The chair for the work desk was not ergonomic to sit and work with a laptop as it was much lower the desk area. 3.The doors in all rooms seems to closing hard due to the mechanism being too tight and made a lot of noise which was disturbing especially at nights 4.Bed was too saggy for me and was not very supportive and made me feel sore post sleep. 5.Better noise isolation was needed atleast in my room as I could hear the guests getting into the rooms,their footsteps on the stairs,floor above, etc 6.TV was mounted in a way that made it difficult to access the HDMI ports to connect my firetv stick
Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the room and found the ventilation, storage, and location worked well for your stay, and that we could quickly help with the fuse issue. Regarding the Wi-Fi, occasional signal drops do happen in London, especially in older buildings with thick walls and multiple levels, but we’re always working on improving coverage where possible. As for the desk chair, while an ergonomic chair isn’t standard in most short-term rentals, we’ll definitely look into ways to make the workspace more comfortable. The bed has since been reviewed and improved based on guest feedback, and we appreciate you highlighting it. In terms of noise, the house is on a peaceful residential street and generally very quiet, but as this is a shared home, you might occasionally hear other guests walking or talking—though we do kindly ask everyone to respect quiet hours. The TV is wall-mounted to help save space in the room, but we’ll see if there’s a way to make the HDMI ports more accessible. Really appreciate your comments—they help us keep making the experience better for future guests.

Verified reviewI’ve stayed in Elmwood for a month and really enjoyed it as it’s such a comfortable and luxurious stay. The house is really thought-through with the decoration and appliances that are provided. You don’t miss anything from your morning coffee, cooking for lunch to doing your laundry in the evening. The house is close to two different tube lines which make the journey to the city of London very easy, also Wembley is only 2 Stopps away for a shopping trip to the outlet. If there are any issues, the owner is easy to reach out on WhatsApp and really fast with replies. Also the housekeeping lady has been very nice & cleaning the communal areas. I would definitely recommend.
Nothing about the house
Thank you for the great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and found everything convenient and comfortable. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Verified reviewThe host was so helpful and kind, and he allows us to store our baggage in the accommodation before our check-in time, so we didn't have to search for any baggage storage, even if we came to London very early in the morning. We really appreciate it! Owner was also very reachable and he reacted immediatelly, so it was very nice. It was our 4th stay in London during 2 years and I have to say, it was our best experience at all. The apartment was fully equiped as well as the common kitchen. So during our stay we didn't miss anything. Kenton is cca 40 minutes away from the city centre, on the other side the neighborhood was quiet and there are two underground stations nearby. Bus stop is only few metres from the house, so for us it wasn't problem to get anywhere we wanted. I I would definitely recommend this accommodation and for our next trip it will be our first choice.
Everything was great.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so happy you had such a great experience, and it was a pleasure being able to help with your baggage. I'm glad the location and amenities worked well for you. We'd love to welcome you back for your next trip!

Verified reviewA Wonderful Stay in Harrow, UK – Highly Recommended! My family and I had an incredible 10-day stay at a fantastic share accommodation in Harrow, UK, and I’m thrilled to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, everything about this place felt just right—comfortable, welcoming, and incredibly convenient. What We Loved:- - Charming Backyard: The backyard was a peaceful retreat where we could relax and spend quality time together. - Beautiful Conservatory: Sipping tea in the conservatory at my own pace was such a relaxing way to start the day. The space was bright, serene, and felt just perfect. - Cultural Exchange: The shared accommodation setup was a delightful surprise. We had the chance to meet and connect with people from various countries, making our stay even more enriching. - Outstanding Hospitality: Gergo, the host, is an absolute gem! Though he doesn’t stay on the property, his support was unmatched. In all my years of travel, I’ve rarely come across someone so responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to ensuring his guests have a great experience. His prompt and positive responses made us feel truly cared for. - Convenience at Its Best: - Just 25 minutes from Heathrow Airport (LHR), making it ideal for international travelers. - City center just a 15-minute walk away, with a variety of restaurants nearby for every taste. Safe and Homely:- The neighborhood felt very safe, which is a big plus when traveling with family. We also loved the homely atmosphere—it truly felt like a “home away from home.” Great Value for Money:- This property offers everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay at a very reasonable price. Our time here was truly memorable, and we are so glad we chose this place for our trip. If you’re looking for a safe, welcoming, and convenient place to stay in Harrow, I can’t recommend this property enough
