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 StatesBoy, if it had a balcony, it'd been perfect!
More than I expected! Microwave, fridge, tea kettle, N'spresso machine, its all there. Ran the ceiling fan and that was sufficient - the weather was mild. No need for heat or a/c. Very clean, very secure and reasonably easy to find - just off Royal Mint St. The owner was super helpful, can't say enough about it!

United KingdomNothing.
The room was well equiped, the bed was comfortable and there was good storage if you were going to stay for longer than a weekend break. I was pleasantly surprised to find hair straighteners as well as a hair dryer. The instructions for using the shower were clear, but an observation which is very minor, some of the other labels for instructions were faded and difficult to read if you rely on glasses to read things. Comprehensive instructions were provided on the day of arrival for how to gain access to the property.

United KingdomRemembering the codes was a tiny bit annoying at first but I was so glad I felt so safe there. Everything else was perfect. It really is a 'Safe and Cosy Comfortable Room With Ensuite' .
The location of 'Comfortable Room With En suite' is excellent. Next to Tower Bridge. It is quite difficult to find so it is advisable to work out where it is beforehand. It is near Tower Hill Underground station. Turn left out of the underground and it is the third road on the right. It is a very secure building which was great as I felt very safe there. You type in a code to enter the main building. Then you go in a lift and type in another code to enter the apartment. Shane the owner is extremely helpful and he very kindly let me stay longer in my room before getting my train.

Czech RepublicSimply the best place you can stay in London. Few steps from the Tower and underground makes the location perfect for exploring the city. The room is clean and comfortable, and equipped with all you can think of to make your stay more pleasant: kettle, coffee maker, tea, coffee and biscuits, a really good hair dryer, fridge, huge TV. And last but not least, Shane is a perfect host, welcoming, willing to help and advice. Once I'm coming back to London I definitely wanna stay here.
