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 KingdomFriendly staff and well located close to Paddington Station. We visited to watch some shows on the West End and the proximity meant getting back to the hotel was trivial.

New ZealandRoom very small, bathroom tiniest I have ever encountered. Staff could not open the safe in the room, so we could not use it. Breakfast room in the basement looked and smelled like visiting a hospital canteen.

We stayed for 2 nights (Sunday / Monday) - the price was excellent and the hotel does exactly what is says on the tin. Facilities were good and the area had enough places to eat and drink. Easy to use the tube at Paddington Station- a couple of minutes away

LithuaniaWindows in this hotel do not close and seal properly and it results in all sorts of noise coming in the room as if you had an open window basically. That makes the room cool as well. If you want to sleep in piece and quiet this place is not a good fit.
Great location, polite and friendly staff. All sorts of shops, restaurants and stations nearby.

United KingdomTo get to the hotel we walked from central London and past Marble Arch, it was getting late and dark. Too be honest we did not like this part of London, we didn't feel too safe. Having arrived at the hotel we decided not to head back out for food. The room.. we can only describe as being very old fashioned. Old fashioned bedding, carpet, curtains etc. The bed barely had a sheet that covered the bed, then had a blanket and old fashioned cover. One of the pillows had dark objects, initially we thought they might have been bed bug type things however think perhaps dirt drops. The furniture was rather hit and miss, our room felt slightly overcrowded with chairs. However the floor mat had an orange rust looking stain. Although the shower was hot it wasn't overly powerful and the ceiling paint was badly peeling off. The towels didn't smell overly fresh but certainly not the worst.
The location for us was perfect as we needed to get an early train from Paddington Station, and that was literally a couple of minutes walking distance. Check in was splendid, the gentleman was very welcoming, polite, friendly and helpful. He informed us he had upgraded our room free of charge. The hotel was clean. Just along from the check in desk were the stairs, along with a small bar, hot drink area, fridge containing drinks you could buy and a seating area. The en suite had clearly recently been cleaned with sanitised labels present ready for our stay. The towels were hung and folded nicely. The shower cube was a nice size. The hotel provided a Goldcrest sealed soap, and two little bottles of Shampoo & Conditioner which were handy. With the drawers was a wealth of information including the hotel price list. All in all, not a bad stay but perhaps not as modern, clean lined and fresh as we had hoped for.

GermanyNo coffee in the room, although this was available on reception.
Location is really great, and for the price it’s a really good deal. We had a triple room which was basement level but still had a window for fresh air, and although small it was pretty decent and was very clean. Turndown service also which for a two night stay wasn’t expected. All in all, great little hotel stay! The staff were all lovely.
