Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomCooked breakfast choice could have been better, especially for vegetarians.
Quad room was a good size for London, small bathroom as expected but functional, quiet and warm. Room was ready earlier than stated which was great and the staff were all very friendly. We were up before 8am and had no issues getting a breakfast table, plentiful as offered more toast and cereal and fruit on the side.

United KingdomSlightly disappointed that there was no gluten free bread at breakfast after I had asked and been assured there was. (It's never a problem to bring my own if I know). I felt that in the bathroom the cleaning fluids had been used in a rather heavy-handed way and I had a bad reaction to them initially on entry. Airing the bathroom solved the problem. Hangers were provided but there was nowhere go hang them; a row of hooks somewhere would be helpful.
Good bed. Good location. Immaculately clean. The staff were very efficient and pleasant.

United KingdomSome water glasses would be good in the room. Bigger towels Breakfast was too basic, eggs could be offered scrambled. We went to Mihbaj on Praed street instead on day 2 and 3 But overall really happy with our stay and would go again
Location for all the places we wanted to go to was perfect. Reception staff helpful and friendly. We loved our room and the beds were comfy. It’s just really well placed for everything. Some nice cafes on Praed street nearby for breakfast.

AustraliaProvisions in the room weren't renewed each day. Biscuits on day one, but not after that. Tea supply similar, and one small cake of soap on day one that had almost disintegrated by day three. A more generous supply would have been appreciated.
The location is excellent, so close to Paddington Station. The hotel and its facilities are typical for that style of accommodation, so small bedroom and bathroom which we expected.. Breakfast choice was limited but adequate. Staff very efficient and happy to assist. The man at Reception very kindly lent us his umbrella when we went out as we had none.

United States of AmericaBreakfast is served only from 6:30 until 8:30. It was an adequate breakfast served by pleasant staffing, but we had to rush to be there on time. The timing would likely be good for people who are in London on business; however, it's rather early for those who are simply on vacation.
The location was ideal. Paddington Station was only a 5 minute walk away.

United KingdomStated above No handrail on upper floors. En suite not clean. Kettle ancient, needed replacing. Room was cold, needed blankets. Breakfast room in basement, not suitable for people with mobility issues. Toilet on ground floor near breakfast room had no hand basin, which should be illegal.
Fantastic location very close to Paddington Station. Lovely looking on the outside. I think our room was 5th floor. No handrail on last staircase. Senior staff not friendly or welcoming. Younger staff nice. Toilet on ground floor by breakfast room had no hand basin which should be illegal. Breakfast room in basement. Not really suitable for people with mobility issues. Our en suite needed a good clean. Our kettle was ancient and needed to be replaced, but good supply of tea, coffee milk, sugar and biscuits. Towels clean, toiletries and toilet roll supplied. Beds narrow but comfortable. Nice quality sheets, but needed a quilt or thick blanket, as room was very cold. Wardrobe, bedside table and small table for kettle provided. There were 2 tower style fans. Bathroom had an opening window. Bedroom had a window. Bible located on the bedside table. Chair in corner to sit on was handy. All areas of hotel carpeted. Breakfast included croissant, hot drinks, juice, cereal, fruit, toast, bacon, fried egg (no choice), and baked beans. Adequate breakfast.

Breakfast is across the road - room was tiny and bursting at the seams we only went once and paid for breakfast around the corner at The lite bite for the next 2 mornings.
