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.).

AustraliaPublic wifi rather than password protected. Also while not an issue for us, it is worth noting this venue would be inaccessible for those in a wheelchair.
Big room, big and comfy bed, decent sized bathroom, great shower. Pod coffee machine provided. Good location a short walk from Hammersmith station. Clean and spacious room (particularly by London standards) with easy after-hours access (once you have a key). Didn't notice any noise from the pub below (though we were not there on a Friday or Saturday night). Genuinely a great stay.

United KingdomWe couldn't open the windows in both the bedroom & bathroom which made it feel muggy (despite aircon). The room was right next to the stairs, so we heard everyone come in & out. No cooked breakfast (which we knew beforehand). No fridge and overpriced.
The room was small but very clean & the bathroom was immaculate. The bed was super comfortable! Location good! Staff friendly!

United KingdomGenerally very clean, however could tell the vents in the bathroom and bedroom hadn’t been dusted in a very long time. Lots of build up which was getting onto the walls especially in the bathroom. But this was the only cleanliness issue to note.
Lovely and very quiet rooms, you can tell they’ve gone to extra effort to soundproof as it’s above a pub so it was impressively quiet! The staff were friendly on arrival, and gave us all the info needed, and the location was perfect for what we needed visiting friends in Barnes.

United KingdomNothing…. (it wasn’t a problem for us but the stairs up to the rooms are fairly steep as it is a period building)
Great location within walking distance of Queens Tennis Club, Fulham and other riverside restaurants etc. Lovely room on the top floor which was the quietest most peaceful room we have ever stayed at in central London. Good food and atmosphere in the pub. The whole building appeared to have been recently renovated so the room and the pub were all decorated well

United KingdomBad smell in the hallways - room was fine however! The bathroom radiator was on 24/7 meaning the room was roasting - fixed by simply closing the door. Mould and dirty grout in the shower but generally clean otherwise. Pub downstairs lacked atmosphere, even on a Saturday night it was dead. Also tried to get food one night and after asking for a menu no one came near me or was even about to ask to order so I gave up.
Perfect location, lovely walk into Hammersmith but away from the hustle and bustle. Room was spacious, clean and perfect for my 4 night stay. Bed was very comfy. Fan provided which was well needed for the 25degree weather.
