Afternoon tea at a 5 star hotel, count us in. Since Gibraltar is under British control English is their spoken language. Our bus driver Shannon took us completely around this little island before bringing us to the stop for a snack and tea before returning us to the port drop off point. I'm glad we chose to book a shore excursion, get off the ship, learn about the history of Gibraltar and drive past The Rock. Little Sandwiches of ham, rolled tuna, cucumber, plus some sweets. Definitely not a fancy high tea like at Boston Library or my favorite white hotel with columns in Waikiki. This was a simple choose your own tea bag, pour your own hot water, help yourself to the two layer items split between 4 people. My favorites were the ham sandwich the bread was super soft, the ham sliced so thin. The scone or crumpet like a biscuit to cut in half to add some clotted cream and jam from a mini jar of jam. Shannon was knowledgeable and the kindest tour guide who helped whoever needed assistance onto a collapsible stool onto and off the bus.

Hair there. That's right, I found a hair on the wall near the hair dryer in the bathroom. I went to the lobby desk told them about it and requested a new room. The person told me all the rooms were booked that night which is amazing because she never looked to see. Clearly she is Psychic. She notified housekeeping and told them to do a double cleaning in the bathroom. They showed up, wiped off the hair, found a couple of spots on the floor, wiped that up with a hand wet towel thing and that was it. They told me this happens all the time because the girls clean fast. I should note I told the GM about this via their post stay survey. They responded by saying they did a thorough cleaning job. If that's thorough, I'm FDR. The room is ghastly. Totally dated as in 80s. I was afraid to use rhe shower which the bathroom had tiles, and old days decor. I mean it screamed 50s in appearance. The bed is hard, and basically just a mattress like thing on top of two blue bases. Mine nearly came off. I did have a water view. Room food options via service is poor and good luck getting into the restaurant. They will make a made to order omlette for breakfast, but the spread is poor and you have to go early, as I did for one day, to have hot. I note one day, because I checked out of that dump and went to the Novotel next to it, which is 1000 times better. Let me put it this way. 3rd class on the Titanic would have been better. The Posiden Adventure with you hanging on a Christmas tree upside down would have been better. Dump.

This is a different way to stay in a hotel, a dry docked boat. Overall the service was not bad and the rooms are decent. There is a restaurant and bar which is not bad. I was there for a party and they did a good job hosting the party. They are friendly and helpful. the rooms are a bit pricy so get prepared for that. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

See the table in the picture? It has a nice view right? And it was empty when we arrived, and still empty when we left 1.5 hours later. But there were only 2 of us so we weren't allowed to sit there. Jus watch it from the middle of the room. They made accommodations to find space for other people outside, even though we'd requested this at booking time. Not for us though. Pretty poor service experience all 'round really.

We was looking for somewhere to take two little boys that was a little different. My son had two trips to Disney cancelled due to Covid, so I let him pick where we go. He absolutely loved the idea of staying on a boat so we opted for the Sunborn. I'm so so glad we did. Everything about this stay was perfect. The hotel is immaculate. The breakfast and evening meal were superb. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The bed, honestly the most comfy bed I have ever slept on. The best thing though was the service from a gentleman named Micheal. He went above and beyond to make this a special stay for both the adults and the children. I've never experienced such amazing service and thoughtfulness and I've stayed in many hotels. In my opinion this is a five star hotel and the service (thanks to Micheal) is the best in the world. When someone ensures the children have an amazing stay, as a parent you could wish for nothing more. Thank you for having us. We will be back. There are also treatment rooms, we didn't get to experience them but we are planning to the next time we stay. If you are considering staying at this hotel then go for it, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful yatch in docks at East London. I attended and was playing music for a birthday party on the top deck. Place looked amazing and the staff where very friendly. The look of the boat is very plush. Didn't try the restaurant but we had warm canapé which was nice and presented well. Would like to spend a night and eat at the restaurant to access this hotel better.

We stumbled across this yacht while looking for somewhere to have a drink before heading to the O2. It was a really beautiful day and so the deck looked like a perfect place to sit for a couple of cocktails! The setting is really lovely, especially in the sunshine. Very dramatic views of the Thames all the way round the boat, and on a sunny day the water even looked appealing. The service was friendly & attentive. The cocktails were OK (a little on the pricey side, but to be expected). You're definitely paying for the setting though, which I would say is worth it! A really great place to come for something a little different.

Colourful cocktails!

View from the deck

Great location, good service, and nice venue. This is still a "hidden gem" for those who are needing hotel rooms or meeting space near the ExCel Convention Center. Docked permanently across the grass park from ExCel and Hotel Novotel, the Sunborn's impressive profile welcomes guests up its gangplank entrance aboard a unique yacht venue that can accommodate overnight guests or double as meetings/events space. Opened recently in the summer of 2014, this venue is quick to catch up to speed with the service and support of the most seasoned hotel properties in the area...and has worked through most of the learning curve issues that most brand new most of the learning curve issues that most venues painstakingly take awhile to work out.

Sunborn Yacht...great location for hotel or meeting space if you are attending the ExCel Convention Center

Just okay, but honestly not as nice of a hotel as we anticipated. The view from our room (the side opposite the water) is pretty disappointing. Our room tablet says the hotel bar is open until 2am on Saturdays, but late Sat night when we planned to order service, reception at the front desk told us those are old hours and it actually closes at 1am; staff said these hours were valid a year ago. Not sure why this hasn't been updated? Very well-made cocktails in the bar, but pricey. The queen bed in our room is actually more like two beds pushed together (there is a gap in the middle) which makes it a bit more uncomfortable for my fiancé and I to sleep closely. We can frequently hear very loud footsteps outside our room reverberating through our room, and there is no ventilation in the bathroom which has made our room stuffy. Service in general has been decent.

I wish I had the same experience as everyone else here but I did not at all! We arrived and were put into room 1030. When we got in, we noticed it was quite warm and stuffy so we turned the air down. We had plans so we left our stuff and came back, and it was still warm. I looked at the temp and it was 25* when we had turned it down to 15*. We tried dealing with it, turning it off and on, etc and nothing worked. My boyfriend and I don't like complaining so we just went to bed. I woke up an hour after falling asleep drenched in sweat, the temp was now 26* and I am mad and sweaty. I call down and they switch our rooms. SAME problem at 1046! The air is like on 23 when we get in, we turn it down to 16, and it has stayed above 22 all night, ranging from 22-26! SO annoying! I feel like others have had this problem before in these rooms and they put us in these rooms anyways! The carpet has huge brown stains, couch had brown stains, bathroom was tiny, everything is so outdated! Not worth the money I spent at all! When I told the staff at checkout, she said that if we paid for another night they would upgrade us to the water view! As if that was any kind of reconciliation. Ugh will not be back ever ever.

"Not your usual hotel: Sunborn London is, in fact, a 420ft yacht moored in the Royal Victoria docks, a symphony in white and charcoal which could easily have been left behind by a departing oligarch. It's well-placed for the O2 arena, London City airport and the ExCel centre."

Sunborn London

Docklands, London, England, United Kingdom

• Full Review
• A floating super yacht hotel with serious novelty factor
• Moored right opposite Excel conference center
• Minutes' walk from DLR train station
• Easy access to London's City Airport
• Relatively spacious rooms, most with water views
• In-room Lavazza coffeemakers and Sony tablets
• Restaurant and terrace bar with water views
• Far from tourist center
• No fitness facilities

Bottom Line

The 136-room Sunborn London is an upper-mid-range hotel in the form of a 394-foot super yacht moored in London's Royal Victoria Dock. Rooms are pleasant, surprisingly spacious, and most have views over the water, though decor is more cruise liner than luxury yacht. Some rooms have spacious decks and big soaking tubs; all have coffeemakers, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. Eating and drinking options are solid though lack of fitness facilities feels like an oversight. Overall, for maritime enthusiasts with business in the area it's perfect, but tourists wanting to explore the capital's attractions should look elsewhere. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Oyster Hotel Review

An upper-mid-range floating hotel set on a super yacht .

The Sunborn London is not only the capital's only floating hotel, it's the only one occupying a 394-foot super yacht. Built without an engine, however, it was towed from its native Finland and opened as upper-mid-range water-based lodgings in 2014. From the outside -- with its sleek marine lines -- it looks every inch the luxury vessel. Inside , however, the look and feel is deliberately more traditional, with polished brass railings, teakwood paneling, and the occasional nautical touches across all five of its floors. The resulting vibe is certainly more cruise ship (albeit an attractive one) than billionaire's playground. There's plenty of outside space on deck for enjoying the surrounding docks -- if not the most attractive of views -- accompanied by the sound of planes taking of and landing at the nearby City Airport. A solid pick for the novelty factor and for guests with business at the nearby conference center, this hotel is a bit far from main tourist attractions.

Moored in Royal Victoria Dock to the east of London's Canary Wharf

The hotel is permanently moored in the London ’s Royal Victoria Dock in the Docklands area in the east of the capital. The city's largest conference and events venue -- the Excel Center -- is located right opposite while the DLR (Dockland's Light Railway) station of Custom House is just minutes away on foot. From here it's just about 15 minutes by train to London's business district of Canary Wharf. While it's not ideally located for tourists, public transport links to the city center in around half an hour. City Airport however is right nearby and takes less than 10 minutes by car. 

Relatively spacious rooms with Sony tablets and Lavazza coffeemakers

The hotel's 136 rooms are certainly a lot larger than your average cruise ship cabins, but all follow cruise liner styling with plenty of polished teak, brass trim, and maritime touches. Unlike a cruise ship, all rooms are outward facing and most have large picture windows overlooking the water (some have small furnished balconies too). Amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs plus sitting areas, and a Sony tablet for web browsing and ordering room service. Lavazza coffeemakers and minibars with free water also come standard. Clean, well-maintained bathrooms provide wall-mounted hairdryers, walk-in showers, and Molton Brown products. The top-end Yacht Executive Suite we saw had its own private sauna and large balcony.

Restaurant and terrace with water views, free Wi-Fi, and a small spa with massage treatments

The hotel's Lands End restaurant provides a pleasant space awash with mirrored glass and teak paneling with large windows overlooking the water. A la carte and set breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are served with British, Asian, and Mediterranean influences. The adjoining bar provides house cocktails, snacks, and meals as well as an outdoor terrace with views of Canary Wharf and the O2 arena. A small spa also provides a range of massage treatments though there are no fitness facilities on-site. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

A night on the sunborn London was bought by my family for my 70th birthday The yacht beautiful but the breakfast was terrible wrong breakfast bought to me twice when I did get my breakfast it was cold cheap ingredients looking around most people were leaving the breakfast The hotel yes but the breakfast was not worth the money plenty of restaurants nearby for breakfast More

Dear Toddie B. Thank you for your comments which are greatly appreciated. We do our best to meet our guests' expectations, and we regret to read that we fell short in certain instances. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience and rest assured that we have taken note of your comments concerning our breakfast. However, it is very rare to receive such a comment as we receive many praises about our breakfast quality and service. Clearly we will never please everyone and everyone's taste, largely our reviews are favourable. On the other hand, we are pleased to know that you appreciated our beautiful Yacht during your special visit. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you will return.

Booked the Sunborn as we were attending an exhibition at the ExCel it is around 100 meters to the exhibition centre . Apart from a faulty lift first impressions were very good , on arrival we were informed we had been upgraded to a superior room with a balcony . The welcome was warm and friendly and the staff very helpful. The room was large and more than adequate for a night’s stay and boasted some extra kit such as Lavazza coffee maker and fridge. On returning from a meal out we decided to have a drink in the bar which was very relaxing and comfortable, the staff once again were welcoming and friendly. We noticed that it was possible to take our drinks on the rear deck with imposing views of the O2 and the city of London . Our # 1 impression of the Sunborn was how relaxing, peaceful and quiet it was . Next morning check out was completed with no fuss and we organised our bags to be looked after whilst we visited the exhibition. We would certainly recommend the Sunborn for anyone wanting novel accommodation with peace and quiet if you are staying at that end of London.

Dear Tim, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience! We are pleased that our location met your needs and are delighted that you had an enjoyable and comfortable stay with all your expectations met and, in some cases, exceeded. Your mention of our team's attentive service is truly appreciated and inspires us to constantly improve our performance. We hope that we have the pleasure of seeing you again in the future. Kind regards, Atif Shaikh, Assistant Front Office Manager

Booked this for an overnight stay whilst visiting the Excel exhibition centre and loved every minute. Arrived early and were able to leave our bags so we could come back and check in in the afternoon, the staff were super helpful and efficient. When we returned check in was swift and the rooms were clean and tidy as you’d expect plus we had a balcony to sit out on, have a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Area has a variety of bars and restaurants and has the funky dockland vibe. The hotel bar has a rear deck overlooking the dock and away to Canary Wharf which is quite magical, it’s position A for cocktails! In all we spent 26 hours in London on our whirlwind trip but all agreed it felt as if we had had a long weekend away such was the buzz of staying on the yacht hotel…fab. Get it booked, you won’t regret it.

Dear Guest, Thank you for such a positive review! We are delighted that you enjoyed our "vibe location" and felt very well cared for during your time here. Our team will appreciate your kind comments which we will be sure to pass on to them. Thank you for mentioning our bar with the magical views with the city lights to Canary Wharf and its brightness which is a real position for a cocktail! We look forward to the pleasure of seeing you again on a future visit. Kindest regards, Atif Shaikh, Assistant Front Office Manager

This is a cool place that we decided to do for something a bit different. Staying on a luxury Yacht is very cool. Checkin was easy and staff helpful. Room was big if a tad dated - but that adds to the Yacht look and feel. Shower room was a good size but no extractor fan so it gets super steamy and doesn’t clear. Air con was good. General facilities - good coffee machine, kettle, iron/ironing board were all on point. The experience didn’t disappoint!

Dear Guest, Thank you for reporting so positively about your time at The Sunborn Yacht Hotel, enabling us to be an ideal starting point for visiting London. We are pleased that you appreciated the overall atmosphere of our "cool Yacht", and our amenities were to your convenience. Our team members are always at hand to provide our guests with an excellent service. We all certainly hope that we have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in future. Cool regards!

Loved the stay with the balcony river view. I had chosen a birthday surprise package for my wife which was well organized by the hotel. Cake and decorations where amazing. The dinner at the restaurant was awesome. Breakfast was average. Definitely recommend.

The hotel was great, nice room and balcony overlooking Royal Victoria Dock. We had a three course dinner and breakfast included in our package. The food was absolutely lovely and the service couldn't have been better. All of the staff were very attentive, you couldn't have wished for more! Unfortunately for us, we only stayed for one night having taken over three hours to drive up from Gloucestershire so didn't have time to travel into central London. We didn't think much of the location unless you were going to the Excel exhibition centre which was literally on the doorstep, or should I say down the gangplank! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay though.

Afternoon Tea at Sunborn Yacht Hotel London

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

After reading the reviews, I was in two minds to cancel this afternoon tea. However, when we arrived we could see they were Covid complaint. We got seated outside, the weather was amazing, and such a beautiful yacht hotel. The waiters and waitresses were great!... The afternoon tea was lovely and fresh, the sandwiches, cakes and scones were beautiful! The scones were baked freshly, and tasted divine. The cocktail was lush!! Ordered another one. The only downside was that it was a little busier than normal, so service was a little slow. In conclusion it was great, lovely experience and definitely worth the money!! More

Came here for an afternoon tea on Saturday for a birthday. Easy to book online. The venue itself is lovely and unique, feels very grand walking through the reception. There were only a few tables plus us when we arrived. Service was very slow and... we had to ask for extra plates, apart from bringing the initial menu over, during the few hours we were there, none of the many waiters asked if we needed anything. We had to get their attention to ask for extra drinks and the bill and to then actually pay the bill. So overall not very attentive but we did appreciate being able to sit there for a quite a while after we had finished our food. The food itself was great and plenty of it. More

Lovely spot for afternoon tea on a beautiful day, I was served by Hassan on 14/09. He was lovely, helped and always made sure we got a great service. He was on point and very understanding. He knew exactly how to meet to our dietary... requirements. The afternoon tea I feel could have been better, especially the finger sandwiches were basic. Also the presentation was better in the pictures. When served on the day it was different in presentation. I have tried out many afternoon tea spots and can say the taste of the food wasn’t to the best. However the atmosphere and service was good. More

So disappointed with our visit for afternoon tea. This was a special birthday treat and we were both so looking forward to it. The venue is dull. You could be sitting anywhere other than on a 'luxury yacht'. You couldn't see out of the windows... due to them being dirty! As for the food - the sandwiches consisted of smoked salmon on white bread? Egg & onion brioche buns? The other sandwiches, I couldn't tell you what they contained as the contents were non-descript. The sandwiches had just come out of the fridge so were icy cold. The scones looked appealing but when cut in half the middle was undercooked lump of dough. Tea did not come round - we had to ask for extra plates and ordered two drinks which 12.5% service charge was added to! No one came over and asked if everything was alright or whether we needed anything, the whole time, four members of staff stood chatting looking at the Reception PC. There was one poor waitress running around, serving guests and clearing tables. I have also emailed Sunborn but they do not have the courtesy to reply. More

We visited here for an afternoon tea for a family treat whilst we were staying in London for a mini break. The yacht looked absolutely incredible. The foyer area was breathtaking, a large chandelier surrounded by two spiraling staircases either side. We were ably assisted... from the start of our experience and taken to our table overlooking the dock area of the Thames. We didn't have too long to wait for our afternoon tea. The food itself was more than ample, four finger sandwiches and a mini-brioche roll. Two fruit scones and four other cakes complete on a three tiered china tray. We opted for a champagne cocktail option, which was a great accompaniment to the food that was served. We were also given a variety of options for tea, ranging from the usual English breakfast, darjeeling, Earl Grey etc. Our waiter was always on hand to answer our questions and was very passionate about their job. We left there feeling full and satisfied and knowing that when we return to the capital for a break that we will definitely consider staying at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel. More

Booked as a birthday gift for husband and would not go again! Business hotel full of people going to Excel Centre next door! Breakfast a joke, queues for tables, even at 9.15 as business clients in..great to get away from work for leisure and listen... to business people talking load of bull!! Rooms tired and old fashioned..could not go out on balcony as it was full of water, from rain but no drainage to let it out 🙄..paid extra £20 a night for river view. Breakfast 3 choices given, 1 cereal..no fruit. Shame one floor not kept for business, inc breakfast! Gibraltor Sunborn so amazing compared to this one..modern, more facilities. Staff seemed pushed and rushed! Not a good experience😑. More

Enjoyable experience for my birthday. Typical cream tea fare with sandwiches, scones and cake etc. tasted freshly made. Lovely surroundings with a sense of luxury and fabulous views. The lady who served us ( small anchor tattoo on hand) was lovely and a great credit... to the hotel. All in all a super treat from my other half. Booked via a voucher so didn’t pay full price which would of made it too expensive. More

I booked afternoon tea with a Wowcher as it was my friends birthday and I wanted to do something different, the yacht it’s self was very nice on entering, we was shown to our table and given a complimentary cocktail which was an Aperol spritz... and it was very nice , then the food arrived which was a nice selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes all very nice and fresh and unlimited tea or coffee. They even put a chocolate ‘ happy birthday’ on the cakes. We sat outside on the deck to drink our tea which had a lovely view of the river, the cable cars, O2 and people doing watersports in the distance. The staff were very attentive and polite. Overall a very nice experience and definitely would go again More

Your staff dealt with an unreasonable and rude customer in a gracious and professional manner. She was arrogant and did not deserve the apologies and attention you afforded her. The afternoon tea was exactly as advertised with a good range of sandwiches and desserts, flavours... of tea and desserts. Staff were extremely helpful and allowed us to see the upper deck. You created a relaxed atmosphere and nothing was too much to ask. More

So it was out first time out since the pandemic and it’s been tough few months working in the Nhs. We booked the afternoon tea which was £35 and was a nice way of getting together . Unfortunately when the bill came it was much... more than expected. The waiter did not give us a wine list which in hindsight we should have asked for. The waiter could have advised us the champagne afternoon tea would have been a better option as £48 for a bottle of Prosecco seems a of money to us. Also the waiter served it and it didn’t go round so he said would we like another which we did. Had we known we would never of needed another bottle and really the waiter could have made it go round. After explaining to a very rude unapologetic gentleman that came to the table we realised we were wasting our time. We should have asked for a wine menu and will remember this in the future. We hoped to stay over on the yacht next time but certainly will not after this experience. More

I took my 82 year old mum for afternoon tea on the Sunborn Yacht based near London's Excel Centre. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather for November, it was bright and fresh. We were able to choose our own seats and chose one... by the window and were able to see magnificent views of the Thames, sea birds, The O2 and the cable cars. Our every need/wish was catered for by really friendly and helpful staff. We both had different food requirements and it was all respectfully catered for without any fuss. The sandwiches/cakes were amazing and we enjoyed several hours chatting and were not under any pressure to vacate our table by staff. We were even allowed to take the cakes home that we didn't eat in a lovely box! We will definitely be back and would totally recommend. A little pricey, but I got a deal on a voucher website, but worth every penny. If I have to make one criticism, it is that before visiting I asked where was the closest car park, and was just told to park at Excel. I would have benefitted from them telling me to park in the orange zone 1 or 2 to be at the right end for a shorter walk with my elderly mum. Also the journey on foot from car park to hotel was a little awkward, unless I just went the wrong way, so some signage from the car parks would be advantageous. More

Was really looking forward to the afternoon tea but came away feeling underwhelmed. It's a lovely venue and the staff were friendly but they were the only good points. I assumed the food would be freshly made but when it arrived it didn't seem very... fresh. Some of the items weren't as stated on the menu so we were unsure of exactly what they were. Other guests were able to swap and change items from the menu but we weren't told this was possible so just accepted what was given. Although the staff were helpful on arrival they disappeared once the food was served so I had to try to get their attention and call them over several times. I expected the staff to be more attentive. I bought the afternoon tea from Groupon so was just glad I hadn't paid full price. More

What an experience! My sister and I visited Sunborn Yacht for a phenomenal afternoon tea. From entering the reception area, we were greeted by the happy, helpful members of staff who pointed us in the right direction of the afternoon tea area. We were then... waited on by a lovely, young lady (Mica) who made sure we had everything we needed and more. During our visit, the manager (Sarwar) assisted us with our voucher issue ensuring we had a stress free and enjoyable afternoon tea. I believe the photo of our food speaks of itself 😍 I would highly recommend visiting and will definitely be going again. More

We have had many afternoon teas in the past & this one by far is definitely our favourite. Firstly all the staff were very friendly, welcoming & helpful. When asked a member of staff about the yacht they gave us lots of information about it,... was very knowledgeable. Which was amazing obviously not just a job to them they were very passionate about it. The afternoon tea was fantastic, a variety of sandwiches, scones & cakes/desserts. Was asked what type of tea we would like, not just one to choose from. The sandwiches, scones cakes & tea tasted lovely. A decent amount of food & drink for an afternoon tea. The setting was beautiful. Very pleasurable afternoon. The yacht itself is beautiful, we only got to see the restaurant, reception, toilets & deck but these were stunning. Would definitely go again & next time to stay on the yacht too. Truly amazing afternoon & not rushed. More

An uncomfortable experience from beginning to end. My friends and I were made to feel unwanted by the racist manager running the restaurant. He purposefully told servers to not serve us, indirectly blamed us for being seated at a table that we didn’t even select... ourselves, spoke down to us, and in general gave us the impression that he didn’t want us there. He was extremely demeaning and belittling in how he spoke to us and made us feel like we were not allowed to ask any questions. He specifically told servers to prioritise the tables nearby, all of which were seated with white customers, and to not bother with our table at all. He told servers to not provide my pregnant friend with a water refill, claiming that “they’ll just keep asking for more so don’t give it to them”. He made snide remarks when we wanted to confirm that our booking was for the correct number of people, implying that we were being absurd to want to ensure that we’d not be overcharged for an error on their end. This shouldn’t have been a surprise considering that he wrongly assumed we’d pay with a coupon the minute he saw our faces anyway. The cost does not match the experience in the slightest. Please don’t waste your money, there are better places where you can get afternoon tea and you won’t get treated poorly based on your race or religion. The only thing that smelled worse than the lingering sewage stink, was the manager’s attitude. More

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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

There wasn't really any thing that we disliked about this hotel. Would recommend to friends and family.

The room was stunning, spotless and well looked after. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was exceptional. location was brilliant, close to trains, cable car etc. Would highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again.

Loved the experience and no complaints

We were looked after fantastically well. It was my wife's 60th birthday, and it was made special. Thank you so much

Extortionate bar prices, £59 for 2 G&T and 2 bottles beers!!!! Were given wrong price for breakfast. Lovely guy at reception but he struggled to understand us.

Great location. Lovely foyer and nice views.

• • Family with young children

The distance into the city was a little too far, I have no idea of distances, my geography is terrible. we were able to get taxis. however that was expensive.

We travelled to London to celebrate my Daugther's 50th Birthday, the SUNBORNE exceeded all expectations. Beautiful surroundings and our dinner, which I had pre-booked was exceptional. Our room was spacious and en-suite good. The bar and restaurant are comfortable. The Sunborne was a little pricey, but if you want cheap don't book this. For a special event it was just perfect.

• • Business trip
• • Group

The rooms in general are good, the sanitary is out dated and some mold. Breakfast was nice but for this location and price you would expect more.

Location is excellent, very impressive. In the restaurant there was an excellent host; Anna. She was amazing and a true ambassador for this hotel.

We had booked breakfast which was confirmed when we checked in, unfortunately when we arrived at breakfast we were then told we were not booked for it, we went down to reception and were given a computer says no answer despite showing them our booking confirmation. There was no attempt made to rectify the situation, not good customer service in our opinion.

Lovely room and lovely stay in a great location

We had a couple of cocktails in the evening, and for the price of £18 per one, we were so disappointed! Very watery and nothing special at all. The bar area and the view are lovely but not worth the drinks. Our air-conditioning wasn't working properly through the night, and we woke up covered in sweat with no air to breathe! I just couldn't make it work. I spoke to reception in the morning, and they were apologetic. And at last, the breakfast. For me, that's usually the highlight of any trip. I was disappointed with how basic it was. It all tasted ok, but that's about it, just OK. Our table was wobbly, and the drinks kept spilling every time I moved. I saw that a couple next to us had the same problem.

It was a lovely and different experience to staying in a hotel. Our bedroom was huge and I'm glad we booked the room with a view, that's definitely worth it. Staff was very welcoming and friendly.

Cost of drinks in the bar 3 times more than what you normally pay for gin and lemonade and a cider

Amazing property, stunning and excellent customer service

The only downfall was the coffee machine in our room didn't work, but we reported this and the staff said they would get this resolved

The room was a good size. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

I thought £5 for a small bottle of water was a bit much.

Lovely spacious comfortable room with "sitting room" area. Only a few stops from the city centre on the tube. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Thought I didn't bring it up with staff there was a sticky residue down the front of the bedside table and on the wooden floor of my room. As I was in a bit of a hurry I just cleaned it with one of the flannels from the bathroom. My mattress on the bed was comfy and the duvet was the right weight. The bedding was clean and fresh smelling. My pillows were fairly hard though.

The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous at all times. The location was ideal as I was attending an event at the Excel - 2 minute walk across the way was fantastic.

Breakfast was bang average just one coffee machine meant people were queuing

Very clean good housekeeping

They knew it was my 60th birthday celebration & I had 12 guests for cream tea lunch & they only put 1 balloon up at the table. They could have made it better. Also they rushed our breakfast on the last day as they needed the table. Restaurant is quite small. It was hot in the rooms & we couldn't seem to get the air conditioning to get cooler.

The boat Hotel was lovely...the staircase is spectacular. The venue is great for a special occasion.

The room was too hot and the fan didn’t work properly.

The staff and service were amazing
