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 StatesAs someone with slight chemical sensitivities, it would have been ideal if unscented washing powder had been used on the sheets, and an unscented hand soap had been available. Otherwise, truly wonderful, and would I wholeheartedly recommend this stay.
Everything! The hosts were kind and welcoming, the house was very clean, the bed was rather comfortable, the views were incredible, and the location was perfect- quiet, safe, and close to direct transportation all over London.

AustraliaOnly stayed 1 night. The 5 flights of stairs might be too much for some people but no problem for us. Chris gave excellent directions and great communication but don't trust google maps. My mistake.
Chris and Amy and their cat stormy were friendly and welcoming. The view was great. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet.

AustraliaWe LOVED our stay here! Chris is such a thoughtful, kind and interesting person. He had fantastic suggestions for what we could do each day (if you haven’t been to London or are looking for recommendations - ask Chris!! The days we followed his suggestions we had the best time). The digs are lovely. The bed was super comfortable and the room was gorgeous with a view of canary wharf. Chris went all out with teas and coffees (he even sent us on our way with a few extra coffee bags), a kettle, water jug etc. It was really nice to be in someone’s house, and Chris’s place really feels like a HOME. You can tell he has put a lot of consideration into the space and the experience for guests. We have only good things to say about Chris and his place. Highly recommend, and we hope to come back one day 🫶

United KingdomTake your own shampoos, and treat Chris to some fresh coffee grounds for his french press! Not a bad word to say about this stay.
Warm and welcoming host! Shared breakfast, coffee and a lovely conversation with Chris in the morning. The room was just perfect and the views definitely make the stairs worthwhile!

United KingdomIf I had to say anything that I didn't like probably just a little difficult to find the room but that's a minor thing as it's not the most difficult to find. Just took me an extra minute finding the right building.
Loved the environment of the whole place. Really inviting and a beautiful little location, best place I've stayed at in a long time.

United KingdomI was not expecting to share toilet and separate bathroom with the 2 hosts. Did not have use of the their kitchen cooking facilities. This was definitely an air B and B style venue so just didn't match my expectations. However, it is a perfectly good venue for somebody needing zone 2 Canary Wharf area and doesn' t mind sharing and I presume you could negotiate the use of the kitchen if staying longer. Personally, not my standards or my expectations however, I do not normally do house shares or sharing bathroom/ toilet with strangers. Hosts were adorable, and very hospitable, stunning Thames view in lounge. On an estate with mixed tenancy/ owners. Quite dark at night walking back from restaurants through the estate. Good luck with the venture but sadly not my cup of tea of accomodation. I stayed one night. Personally, I think overpriced at £65 per night for the facilities on offer. I am sure the hosts would negotiate a better deal for a longer stay.
Delightful thoughtful hosts. Very accomodating.In the lounge stunning views of the River Thames. My bedroom view Canary Wharf, the city sky line.
