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 KingdomWe were only using the room to stay over one night after a social event so basically we slept there for 7 hours. It was excellent location wise as we were getting an early train the next morning. However, I feel the price for 2 people was excessively high.
Good location convenient for travel purposes.

United KingdomThe room lighting was pretty weak, with just a few lamps dotted around in the main area (no ceiling light). I was working on my laptop a lot and it strained my eyes somewhat. Not much to gain from opening the curtains, being London and all.. There were coffee and tea facilities but not a single biscuit in sight!
The location is perfect, right in front of Paddington station. 3 mins walk to the railway station (for Heathrow Express etc.). The tube station is directly opposite the hotel. The decor seems a bit dated and could do with some updating in my opinion - though I suppose they honour the historical aspects of the building. All the staff I spoke to were super nice, friendly and helpful. The shower got warm instantly and the water pressure was very good. Good sized room and very comfy bed. Check out at 12.

NetherlandsWe had a fire alarm and nobody told us for around 3 hours what was happening while we were waiting outside in the cold. Old hotel and lots of construction around
I loved the beds, they were very comfortable. The hotel is in old style but looks cozy!

United KingdomOnly thing to watch is that I was on a 0625hrs flight - and the Paddington Express doesn't start until 0510hrs, not leaving enough time for check-in. The Elizabeth Line starts at 0436hrs, though it leaves from a normal platform and not from the Tube which is closed at that time. There was no staff at Paddington and was quite chaotic with confusion as to where the train was leaving from. Not the hotel's fault at all - though I chose the hotel because of its ease of access to Heathrow, which didn't prove to be true!
My flight was cancelled at short notice so needed to stay overnight - booked via Booking.com, pretty good price for late booking central London and hotel was exactly what I needed.

IrelandThere was a really bad smell of damp on arrival in the room, I assumed it was just because it hadn't been used for a while. I was only there one night but unfortunately what I failed to notice until I was packing my bags to leave was an active leak which meant the carpet in the corner was soaked. I told the staff as I was leaving and they were apologetic.
Staff were super lovely - could not have been more helpful from check-in to check-out.
