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.).

United KingdomYou have to be warned that the Underground rumbles beneath you during the day, but that's part of the charm. It's completely quiet during the night, which is what matters. The 'breakfast' was the sort you'd get at a youth hostel in the 70s, so that might be a surprise to the soy-latte-&-gluten-free-biscuit set, but again, welcome to reality. Absolutely fine and for me, downright nostalgic.
This is not a four-star hotel. You'd be an idiot to think so. However my wife and I, both in our sixties, remember a time when people didn't expect chocolate mints on their pillows. It's a two-minute walk from Paddington on a quiet street, and yes it's a bit shabby but it's clean, tidy, and the staff are lovely. Plus it's cheap. For London, very.

United KingdomThe window view showed on the advert was definitely not what we had in the basement of the building. It looked into the pipes & rubbish of other surrounding buildings. 3 double beds in 1 room???. The 'continental breakfast' was served in a plastic basket in a paper bag. Definitely did not live up to what was advertised.
Close to the station Sheets & towles were clean.

Very good location, few minutes away from underground tube station and some restaurants nearby. Very helpful staff who immediately changed electrical kettle which was faulty and TV fixed right away.

United StatesDidn’t realize that there are no elevator and the room was on the top 4th floor. The tv went out the next day and no one could get it back on. The breakfast could be better. It’s just rolls, jelly butter and yogurt and if you want tea or coffee you have to use the electric kettle in your room. Also the refrigerator is not working in room #21. Needs replacing . Also to reach the reception you have to call from your cellphone the hotel number and wait for someone to answer because there’s no phone in the room and if you’re on the top floor you’re not walking all the way down to walk back up. Out of breath.
the receptionist allowed us to check in before the time and help bring up the suitcases.. The area and closeness to the tube-Paddington is great.

Room was very small for 4 person, the bathroom is too small especially the shower cabinet. The carpet from entrance is very old, bad impression from entrance. The hotel should have a nice and safe room for customers when they want to leave theirs luggages after check out.
