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 reviewGood location, staff was very kind. They left some water bottles in our room which was much appreciated because of the heat. The bed was comfortable.
It's not something I didn't like but it would've been great that the room had air conditioner or a fan.
Thank you!

Verified reviewOwner was super polite and supplied directions! and trust me , follow his directions lol, google maps doesn’t take u to the area but he gave clear instructions in the initial message. clean room, clean towels and even our own soaps and bottles of water which was a nice touch after travelling all day! Room had a smart tv, and each room has a lock and code. 7 minute walk to phonox / brixton o2 academy, and probably about 10-13 minute walk to the tube. If i’m ever in the area again I will rebook.
nothing!! just be careful with the google maps and follow the owners directions :) which isn’t an issue with the property itsself, but google maps.

Verified reviewVery near O2 Brixton Academy, and I mean very. Very easy to find. Instructions from host are clear
The area can be a bit rough around the edges. Though once you get used to it, it’s no problem. However, I take issue with the lack of a fan! Seriously hot during the heatwave.
Thank you!

Verified reviewNice room in a shared flat. Was a good and clean place to stay for the night. Shared access to full kitchen with fridge/microwave/etc. Good bathroom facilities.
Very minor point, but directions could have been a bit clearer, but still a good stay. Skate park was a good reference point.
Thank you!

Verified reviewThe house was pleasant and the room was superb, came with TV, very fast WiFi, and the bed was large and comfortable.
The location was a little bit of a hassle but if you don't mind a short 5-10 minute walk its perfect.

Verified reviewThe location was spot on and 10min away from Brixton tube and close to all of the amenities including Brixton Academy for any concert goers. There is a great little authentic Portuguese restaurant right by it as we are very close to Little Portugal. I would go again.
The locks on the doors were fiddly so you panic a bit thinking you can't get in. Old Skool flat in a block.
Thank you!

Nothing, if I’m ever in London again and in Brixton I’d love to rebook a room here

Verified reviewBed was very comfortable.
The place is very very dusty. Avoid if you suffer with Asthma. Even headboard had thick layer of dust. Overall very overrun with loads of potential but we guessed this has been reflected in the price
