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 KingdomThe smell of cigarettes when you walk through the door, although we booked this hotel, we stayed in their sister hotel 4 doors away we then had to go the 4 doors away for breakfast. Our first room stank of cigarettes so we asked to move, which they did! They forgot to change it on the system so late at night when we were sleeping in the new room somebody entered our room as they had given them this room key when they checked them in. Clean comfortable beds, but the room and bathroom was dirty.
The location was great, close to everything you need in a city.

United KingdomThe staff were almost nonexistent. I met one present receptionist. He didn't have much customer service. When I asked a couple of queries he looked at me like I'd asked him to rob a bank with me. He wasn't rude just unfriendly. Only other down points are It is dated location and room, the dinning area was tiny and (like most of London) no parking. But I wasn't unhappy.
Cheap, good size room and close to Paddington Station. I'm happy.

United KingdomBreakfast was a fiasco, far too many people trying to squeeze into small dining room, had to wait ages for a seat, table was blocking fire escape doors, no spoons, glasses, milk juice etc left and very unhelpful and miserable staff, 9.15 on dot staff member shouted kitchen is closed and all food removed.no duvet on beds just a bedspread that smelt like it hadn’t been washed for weeks, bathroom very small, shower hose broken, food on carpet from previous guest and sash window catch broken on window which made us feel insecure at night. Looks like guests are accommodated throughout several hotels but only 1 small dining room available to all. At least 2 sittings should be available to give everyone a chance to have breakfast.
Location was good, beds comfortable, tea and coffee making facilities

United KingdomNo vegan option. Kind of feeling of disrespect from staff. No willingness to help. Tiny breakfast room. Dirty corridors/carpets.
No offer for vegan options, and indeed, I was looked in a manner that I did not like at all when I requested/asked for this (as if I was an alien - the guy was kind of laughing at me for the fact of being vegan-). When I asked if he could add a not for the staff in the morning so they could buy at least any alternatives (I had chosen this option as breakfast was included -) he replied in a short aggressive manner "no no no, that is not possible, we are not allowed to buy anything so you would need to wait at least until 8;30 that we can check that with a manager". When going for breakfast the morning after, there was not even fruit, and the room was tiny, packed with tables and full of people even sharing tables (I had to).

United KingdomThe bathroom was so small, its like a caravan bathroom & tiny. The shower ran just like a tap not a shower, nowhere to hang towels, only 1 towel each,no toiletries except the tiniest bar of soap. Teacups & only 1 glass between us. The room had not been hoovered prior to our arrival, no spare pillows, the decor needs a refresh, hair dryer didnt work, cost of the parking, breakfast was only toast, cereal, cold meats & yoghurt, tea, coffee & squash.
The location was perfect, loads of local shops, food & pubs, the parking was good, we parked right outside the main door, the receptionist, room size, adjustable radiator heating, tv although it couldnt cast from our phones. Shower controls easy to work,there were enough tea & coffee making facilities, the kettle worked. The bins were emptied daily, the curtains were blackout, free wifi,

United KingdomThe hotel room and toilet were very dirty and outdated. They need serious renovation and cleanliness. The window was not locking and we felt a bit unsecured while sleeping. We were so tired and knocked out straight away and did not have time to worry about these problems mentioned above.
The location of this hotel is great to walk to Edgeware Road, Marble Arch, Hyde Park and Oxford street. Hotel Parking is only £15 per day which is very convenient and handy.

Belgiumfloor wasn’t clean ( candy and wrappers under the bed, lots of dust and crumbs on the carpets) bathroom very small ( picture a bathroom you’d find in a train). Maybe a broader choice for breakfast would be nice. However the toast and cornflakes are definitely enjoyable too tho. The breakfast room is also quite small. If you go during the last part of the serving times you won’t be able to get a seat. Little tip that has nothing to do with this hotel in particular: If you do book this hotel don’t go to the Indian restaurant a couple doors down, you WILL get scammed for mediocre food!
Definitely book for the location, everything is close to the hotel. You have a bed and sleep well in it, clean sheets. Breakfast was good

Great location to Paddigton (5 minute walk) and lots of food places nearby. Basic cereal, toast and ham and cheese breakfast but with price paid was added bonus. Beds were quite comfortable and room was spacious for 4.

FinlandThe shower head fell on my head while showering because the stand was broken (but they said they were gonna fix it after I told them). The shower was very small and some joints were moldy. Moreover, the breakfast was good but not exceptional and I would've liked more options, like plant milk.
The beds were comfortable and the hotel is not very far from the city centre, even on foot (nota: we are great walkers). Moreover, the personnel is understanding and kind.

United KingdomHad to wait at Reception for 5 minutes for someone to come to check us in (Reception area left unattended). Room not located in main hotel building, but in building around the corner, which was unexpected. No lift to room so tricky with large bag. No double glazing so traffic noise and voices heard all night through single glaze, closed window (take ear plugs for good night's sleep). Super small bathroom (whilst sitting on loo had one foot in the shower area (no cubical door, only a curtain), whilst my forehead could easily touch the back of the door). The extractor fan in bathroom coated with dust/fluff. Bathroom not on floor level but accessed up very steep step, so if you forgot you'd come stumbling out as not enough floor area between loo and door to stop momentum. Couldn't supply more than one room key when requested, could only offer an extra key card to access the main door to the building. Breakfast - only hot food on offer was toast.
3 single beds as requested and breakfast included for the price. Good, clean bedding and small cozy lighting if required right next to beds, along with switch to easily turn off tv. Nice, friendly staff. Short walk from/to Paddington Tube Station for travel.

United KingdomHooks are needed in the room for damp towels and outdoor coats. The room decor was tired and the bathroom needs refurbishment. The light over the desk is unusable as the bulb needs replacing and it is constantly flickering. Maybe this hasn’t been reported?
The location was good and easy to get to by bus. There were tea making facilities in the room and plenty of tea/coffee/milk/sugar. Extra heating was provided with an oil filled radiator, which we were thankful for as it was a very cold day and evening.
