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.).

Hey Anne-Marie, Thank you for sharing your review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our central location, our team's down-to-earth service, and found the bed super comfortable. Regarding the windows, we understand your need for fresh air. Due to security reasons, our windows cannot be opened. However, we've equipped all our rooms with a high-quality air conditioning system to ensure a constant supply of fresh air and maintain a comfortable temperature. We hope this didn't dampen your overall experience and we look forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Zoe for another comfortable stay. Your Ruby Zoe Team

Verified reviewA great location. The hotel has great facilities and is very comfortable. The tea/ coffee and iron stations on each floor are really helpful and very well stocked. The rooms are great, though it would be handy not to hang bath towels in the separate toilet? Seems a bit unhygienic.
We arrived an hour after official check-in (15:00) to be told that our room still wasn’t ready. The NH Carnival was mentioned but as check-out and in times don’t change, I’m unsure how this had an effect? We finally got to check-in around 17:15! I’d also tried to amend a 1 day stay to 2 days. As it wouldn’t allow me to I had to make 2 separate bookings. I’d contact ahead of time to check we could stay in the same room and was told this had been acknowledged. Although this was facilitated, on the second day after returning from popping out, our keys wouldn’t let us into our room. The cleaner told us that we had to have them changed although nobody had mentioned this before. Also, one lift of 3, permanently didn’t work and one let you in but didn’t go up (though it sometimes brought you down). The staff were nice though and we were upgraded due to the very late check-in. Maybe find a place near the shower to hang bath towels rather than in the toilet?
Hey Sam, Thank you for your detailed feedback about your stay at Ruby Zoe. We're thrilled to hear you found our location convenient and enjoyed our facilities. It's good to know you found our amenities like the tea and coffee stations helpful. We appreciate your constructive comments about the bath towels' placement. We've made a note and will certainly consider it as part of our ongoing commitment to improving our guests' experience. We regret to hear about the delay in your check-in and the inconvenience you faced with the room keys. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially since the keys needed reprogramming due to multiple bookings. It's unfortunate that you weren't informed about this, and we appreciate your patience. We're also sorry to hear about the lift. Our maintenance team is aware of the issue and has fixed it swiftly. We're glad, though, that our team was able to upgrade your room and that they could contribute to making your stay enjoyable. We hope that despite these hiccups, you still had a wonderful time in London, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Zoe in the near future. Your Ruby Zoe Team

No fridge in the room.
Hey Claire, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're thrilled that you appreciated our central location, the complimentary tea and coffee in our galley, and the good vibes at Ruby Zoe. We understand your comment about the lack of a fridge in the room. As part of our Lean Luxury philosophy, we forgo minibars in the rooms. Instead, we provide a Maxi bar in our Galleys on each floor, where you can find a selection of drinks and snacks. This approach helps us keep our rooms uncluttered and our prices down. We hope to welcome you back to Ruby Zoe soon for more good vibes and down-to-earth service. Your Ruby Zoe Team
