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):
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.).

CanadaWas a little on the smaller side for 2 people but still functional. Fridge is really small so didn't really use it as would not fit much.
Loved the location. Perfect for traveling as it was walking distance to many go to locations and very close to Paddington tube station. Room was small but expected and did what we needed it to be for this trip as we weren't in room very often.

NetherlandsThe lower floor rooms are extremely noisy, it is almost as if you are sleeping in an underground station... Best to avoid when you are a light sleeper.
Decent room in a good location close to Paddington Station and busstations around the corner. Very happy with the hotel accommodating a move to a higher floor room from the second night.

AustraliaThere were two issues we would mention although these did not detract from our enjoyable stay. There was an opaque glass bathroom door which had a gap all around making absolute privacy difficult. Getting luggage across the narrow landing was a bit awkward.
The staff were welcoming and friendly and all made a point of acknowledging us each time we passed reception. Location is nice with a pretty park opposite and it’s only a short walk from Paddington railway station. Our room was nicely modernised and exceptionally clean. There was ample space to store our luggage in our room (unlike some other London hotels). The walk-in shower was hot and beds were really comfortable. The aircon worked well as did the lift. This hotel offered everything we needed for our stay.

United StatesAs is typical for many of the rooms in this location, the room was very small. The shower and toilet were clean but the room itself needs corners cleaned. The lovely window to the park was very dirty and a flood light on the building was right out our window at night. A friendlier reception would have been appreciated in this big city.
The location was terrific! So close to Paddington station, the Big Bus, Hyde Park, and restaurants and yet facing a quieter park. It was easy to find and the reception was open 24/7. The bed, linens and lighting in the room were excellent. The large old fashioned veranda window in the room was charming!

United StatesComments have been made about the fact that the hotel sits over the train tunnels. Yes, there was some vibration but nothing that disturbed out stay or caused any lack of sleep.
I choose the property due to its proximity to Paddington Station. I have stayed at various properties in this area over the years and would consider this the best of the lot. Well kept up and more modern features than any of the other hotels I have tried. What was really nice was that it had a lift!

United StatesThe room was extremely small. The bath even smaller. Sadly the bath door (frosted glass) didn't close, the shower water control meant you must stand under the shower to turn on and control temp. Added to the experience, the glass folding shower door was difficult to close/latch.
The location was excellent for our needs. The neighborhood was quiet and had pubs for food and tube station for travels close.

The hotel was very clean. Although a bit small, it's not like other 3 star hotels with smells, and messes. The hotel was very neat. Although rooms were a bit small, it's understandable as the price for hotels in London is a bit pricey. Overall it's perfect. Love the cleanliness. Looks like a new hotel too. Street parking is available right infront too. Restaurants, stores all within walking distance and very safe to walk around!

DenmarkThe room was small, which is fine but it was quite tight if you have larger luggage. Limited surfaces. Lack of instruction for coffee machine and mini fridge. You can hear/feel the underground even from a 3rd floor room. Bad water pressure in the shower and controlling temperature was also an issue.
Great location. Comfortable and equipped for resting after a long day in the city. Bed was comfortable and rooms felt newly renovated.
