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.).

AustraliaThe lift wasn’t working so had to walk up 4 flights of stairs with an injured knee which wasn’t very pleasant and their wasn’t much urgency to have it repaired.
The location was good, only 15 min from Heathrow by Express train. Room was spacious and clean.

United StatesMy room was on the 4th floor. Just ten minutes before I came down with my luggage the elevator apparently stopped working. No one offered to help with my large bag on the steps.
Small business hotel, with smaller comfortable rooms with a great location just steps from Paddington Rail Station. Great for catching the Heathrow Express in the early morning hours.

The location was excellent, however being close to a big train station, we did have the mouse of those trains in our room.

AustraliaUnderwhelmed by the actual room, rated 4 stars which it isn’t ! Booking.Com stated I had been upgraded , which the staff knew nothing about ( false advertising by Booking.Com) regardless if was the upgraded room I’d hate to see what the original room looked like !
Location right next to Paddington station and reception staff were very nice , also helped when I requested a late check out.

United KingdomBreakfast is a shambles. Non-residents served before hotel residents even if they came much later, Hotel residents who paid for breakfast on the day told that they couldn't have the same buffet as those who paid earlier. Staff unfriendly and all deeply engaged in their own conversations - not with work or serving customers.
Location is good.

AustraliaWe felt it was very run down and not up to the Mecure standard we are accustomed to. The elevator was not reliable with an intermittent fault. The shower and tap fittings were very aged and the bath plug did not work. The bar advertised is a pokey little corner near reception and not conducive to enjoying a nightcap.
We booked this hotel for the location which is excellent. It is close to Paddington station and there are plenty of pubs and eateries nearby. Our bags were readily stored in a secure room after checkout and quickly retrieved when required.
