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 reviewThe room was spacious, secure, very well looked after and very clean, with private and clean bathroom. The check in and check out was easy and straightforward, in my experience it was best price for value, and adding to that, my booking was before a very short notice. I use booking a lot and have been different places in this region, and not many were up to my expectations, however, this one exceeded them, hence I am writing this review. Please keep up the good job!
None!

Dear Guest. We're so sorry to hear about your bad experience. If you could please share your booking number we can review your stay and analyse what may have gone wrong, and try to work with you to discuss if we can make up for the experience in any way. We would like to assert however: - With regards to the room, we have uploaded pictures online whcih we expect guests to review before booking. - In regards to the bed (and the room), had you informed us during your stay, we would have been open to relocating you to a different room so you can find a mattress you find comfortable, and a room that better suits what you were looking for. - Likewise, in regards to the toilet roll, if it had run out (which still needs to be investigated further), had you informed us that you require some more toilet roll, we would have aimed to replace it straight away, or at least directed you towards where the spare toilet roll is placed We do inform customers as soon as they have booked that, especially due to the shared nature of some of the acvomdation, communication is key to ensure a good experience for all. We look forward to hearing your response and once again we apologise for any bed experience you may of had. Kind Regards Manager

Verified reviewNot far off the North Circular Road in a fairly quiet road
Poor communication from the owner/manager. The instructions on how to access the property were not sent till the late afternoon of my arrival. So I went to the address, saw the rubbish left outside - toilet, cardboard and building material - and knocked on one of two doors. Which was the right one? No response. Eventually an immigrant with little English came out and kindly phoned the owner. No response. Then another immgrant with a bit more English came along the road and kindly took me to the owners house which was adjacent. There I met a bloke who came out and explained the access method - key in a key safe in the porch then a number pad on the door of the room. Inside, after climbing dismal staircase it looked like a bodged loft conversion with tacky, ill-fitting paint-splattered skirting boards among other bad DIY. Shared bathroom with a snorting, indiscreet bloke who stayed up till past 1am next door. No parking is available as claimed.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Since your stay the access information issue has now been solved (information regarding check-in will be automatically sent to customers once they have booked, as was the case previously). Paid parking is available; however, we can't guarantee a space, as it is street parking that is open to all of the public (it seems that booking.com did not highlight that it was street parking, so we have added this to our welcome message). Regards
