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 KingdomReally at this price point you cannot complain. The room is small and could have benefited from a few shelves.
Fantastic location literally 5 min walk from Paddington train station and underground, very clear instructions on how to access. Room has all the mod cons you would expect including kettle and microwave. Shower was very good.

AustraliaOur original appt was in the basement, which had no windows. The noise from the guests above was very loud. The aicon on the upper floor didn't work.
The staff were very helpful. We were moved to an upper floor halfway through our stay as the basement appartment was very noisy from the guests above moving around. The staff responded to our concerns promptly. We were provided with a fan when the aircon upstairs wasn't working. The property is a short walk from Paddington station and Hyde Park, which we found really convenient.

AustraliaThere really wasn’t anything to complain off. Bathrooms are small but functional with a great shower. Bathroom cabinets are looking VERY tired and probably should be replaced.
For London, quite big rooms around 20 square metre . with a good kitchenette, good sized refrigerator that was very quiet, a sofa, plenty of room to move about. A window that opened, quiet, and great air conditioning that ran very quietly. Easy walking distance to Paddington station and Marylebone only 15 minutes walk away.

United StatesI did not like the online check-in to receive the door code. I have received fake messages before through the booking.com message system, some of which asked for credit card details and were flagged to me by the venue as hacks, so when I was asked to click a link and enter my credit card details (again) and passport details I was very suspicious. I did not like this at all and it felt very insecure.
Short distance from Paddington station and easy access to the Underground. Secure outer and apartment doors. Studio apartment was well appointed and had good amenities.

IndiaThe only thing we missed was the kitchen paper towel roll as well as extra paper napkins. But it wasn't much of a bother. The property is a little more expensive than others in the vicinity but the experience was very good.
The location is awesome. Walking distance from Paddington station. I had a morning meeting after which I had to rush to Heathrow. it was a breeze!! The room was surprisingly spacious and well stocked with kitchenette, utensils, kettle, etc. The room was fitted with an AC which made things much better in London warmth now a days. The elevators on the property were welcome, though a little rickety.

AustraliaAir conditioner kept making loud noises even when turned off. Could not find a reason for it and also could not turn it off at a switch. One mattress needed replacing as you could feel the springs.
Location close to Paddington station and central for getting around London. Also fairly quiet considering the busy area in general. Handy for eateries and groceries. Good to have air conditioning.

United StatesThe beds could use a solid piece of wood under the mattress for better support and the plastic mattress cover made it sticky when sleeping since the bed sheets are not fitted, they kept moving as you slept.
The location was perfect, I had trouble locating the email with the code for the lock box due to so many emails being sent with information. I contacted the number and was finally able to find my code and open the key box. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay.

Czech RepublicThe only minor downside was that, although the apartment is on the top floor, there’s not much of a view due to nearby roof structures obstructing it. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable and well-located stay in London. We’d gladly return!
We had a very pleasant stay at Paddington Apartments. The apartment was clean and regularly maintained by the staff, which we really appreciated. Self check-in was smooth and hassle-free, and the unit being on the 5th floor (with a lift) made access easy. The location is excellent — just a 5-minute walk to Paddington Station, which made getting around London very convenient. The apartment itself was spacious and well-equipped, especially by London standards. The air conditioning was a huge plus during the summer, and the beds were very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.
