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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing to not like . Some may find the noise of london a bit of a shock, but it is an urban area. But we had no problem as we kept windows shut and used the hi tech dyson fan to keep us cool .
This stay was perfection! Even though you hardly see the hosts who also live at the property, they are so helpful and friendly. The apartment is immaculate! Everything you would need and more. Good quality bed . Bang in the middle of it all with tower bridge a few mins walk and the same for the station. I will definatly be returning. Amazing value for money. Thank you Monica and Victor ! X

AustriaSound insulation at peak evening could be better, but the noise died down pretty quickly at night.
Very spacious and comfortable apartment with all the things you would like to see in you own apartment such as fridge, coffee machine, kettle, etc. All the quipement is very modern and clean. The place is also very conveniently located with 10 minutes by foot to London Bridge tube and train station and another 10 minutes across the Thames to the Tower of London.

United KingdomThe room is very clean and very spacious. Monica and Victor was very helpful during our stay. The location is perfect if you want to visit some of the sights in London, for e.g. Tower Bridge which is about 100meters away from the apartment and The Shard is onsite. Note: You will be residing in the apartment and sharing both the bathroom and kitchen with the owner. We had no complaints throughout our stay and found the accommodation to be comfortable and satisfactory. Restaurants, Supermarkets, Shops are all within a walking distance. London Bridge Station is a closest train station and its a 9mins walk from the apartment. I will definitely recommended this accommodation to my family and friends.

IndiaEverything was Perfect ! The only minor addition that could enhance privacy is an internal lock for the bedroom.
Our stay at the apartment was spot on! The best part of this property is definitely its location. Location: The apartment is centrally located—just a 2-minute walk to the iconic Tower Bridge! Many major tourist attractions are close by, so you can easily cover multiple spots in a day. We made it a routine to stroll to the Tower Bridge each night after dinner, which was delightful. There's also a Sainsbury’s right next door, making it convenient for breakfast, snacks, and affordable meal deals from Sainsbury’s or Tesco (sandwich/shawarma + drink + snack for as low as £6-8). About the Room: The room was hygienic, with clean beds and towels, plus essentials like hand towels and toiletries. There was ample storage, and the decor was both stylish and thoughtfully arranged. The room has a heater, and Monica even provided an extra portable heater for added comfort. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed—a coffee machine, refrigerator, oven, and space to cook if needed. The only minor addition that could enhance privacy is an internal lock for the bedroom. Hospitality: Monica and Victor were wonderful hosts, warm and welcoming. Their friendly conversations over coffee left us with cherished memories. On our last day, Monica gifted my wife a beautifully hand-painted fan—a lovely keepsake! Thank you, Monica and Victor, for a fantastic stay. 11/10 for the experience, the conversations, and your exceptional hospitality!

SingaporeOnly drawback is the street traffic noise during the night although we got used to it after the first night.
Superb host. Provided clear instructions to the property which was invaluable as we arrived quite late in the evening. Went the extra mile to recommend various places and restaurants around the vicinity. The room and facilities were very well kept. Finally, the location is very good for us with proximity to the train station and the Underground.

This is a lovely well appointed property. Although it is shared with the owner this was never an issue. Great location for tourism.

United KingdomAs it is a homestay you should be comfortable with sharing a bathroom and kitchen, it can be a little awkward for introverts 😅 but again the hosts are very accomodating. There may be times you need to wait for the bathroom if it’s occupied by the hosts. It can get a little noisy in the room (e.g police sirens and people walking by) due to the location but all is good when windows are closed! Suggest to also have tissues and a bin in the room please! Otherwise we had a very pleasant 8 days and will definitely come back when visiting London again :)
Monica and Victor were great hosts and always ready to help. Room was spacious with comfortable bed and was very clean, bathroom as well. Location was great, about 8 mins walk to the London Bridge station and 2 mins to Tower Bridge. There are many delightful pubs and restaurants in the vicinity. Items such as hair dryer, shower toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, nice thick towels etc), and a dyson fan were provided. We asked to borrow a vacuum and hosts were more than happy to lend it to us. Free coffee and tea were also offered to us during our stay! Even though check out was at 10AM, hosts were accommodating by allowing us to store our luggage there until we actually needed to leave for the airport at 12PM, which was a plus point.

GermanyAt night it can get a little noisy due to the very central location, e.g. police sirens. But this is not the hosts' fault.
The location is really great, lots of sights and restaurants are in the immediate neighborhood. Our room and the bathroom were absolutely clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts, who also live in the accommodation, are very nice and helpful and gave us lots of tips for a good stay. The communication in advance was also very good. Conclusion: A great accommodation with nice hosts that we can absolutely recommend!
