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 review1. Location, close to shops and restaurants 2. Property is on the whole clean - carpets, bedding, bathroom and kitchen 3. I paid £38 for a fairly large room with a double bed and two singles. 4. It's quite safe, many locks on doors.
1. My bedroom had no wardrobe, table or dresser just literally only beds. Not a massive issue as I was there for the night but this would irk me if I stayed longer. 2. There were no towels, I reported this but wasn't given any. I think ordinarily they would provide them but we didn't get any :S 3. Kitchen needs a bin and toaster. 4. Toilet door and windows need attention 5. There is WiFi but you got to message them on booking.com to get this. Should really be on a welcome letter in the room or something. 6. Maybe consider putting a chest of drawers or cupboard in the dining room area for towels, bedsheets, iron, board, etc.

Verified reviewOnly location
It was a very expensive room. For that much money, you can get a room with an attached bathroom. The entire property had three rooms and only one attached bathroom. There was no equipment in the kitchen, not even a fridge. These guests who had come from Pakistan ordered a fridge from their relatives and placed it there. After that, they brought a new, small one.

Verified reviewThe bedroom itself and bathroom have been recently refurbished. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. Other guests were quiet and respectful.
The whole place sadly isn’t up to scratch. It needs a lot more work to finish things off and to make it safe. There are no chairs or bedside tables anywhere. The windows didn’t close. There is no wifi. The kitchen shown in the photos is missing a fridge and the only place to put food away is in another kitchen one floor down which is extremely dirty. The front door wasn’t secure and easy to pop open with a fork etc and was often just left ajar. No handrails on the steep stairs. Paint splash marks also on them everywhere. There were exposed wires and no smoke detectors at all so it’s generally unsafe. Building materials left in the entrance way. The host’s manager was communicative but the host himself was uncontactable. We are still awaiting a refund almost 3 weeks later.

Verified reviewNoting about it was good.
It was in a very bad state. Noting closer to what it was shown on the site. The entrance was dirty with garbage bins, the kitchen was messed up and no one even told me where the bathroom was as no one was around. So no proper information.

Verified reviewGood access to public transport.
Entrance way was dirty and smelly with rubbish lying about. Door to premises was unfinished chipboard. Shared stairwell was grubby. Bathroom window was dirty and was not frosted glass, so no privacy provided. Mattress was covered by some kind of plastic bag. Overall very poor.

Verified reviewVery convenient location, close to Tooting Bec Underground Station which made it easy to get there and around, not far from Wimbledon either. The flat itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a stress-free stay.
Nothing really stood out, had a great experience overall.
