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...).

CanadaRoom was far too small for two adults. It was difficult for both of us to maneuver around the room, open the fridge, close the bathroom door due to tight spaces. Also the bar/restaurant are not open as advertised on their site.
Good location near Paddington station. It was very quiet at night.

United States of AmericaRooms are tight, and you could hear some noise from the hallway and rooms around you. Overall, it's a comfortable room.
We were well taken care of by staff. Easy quick to the tube and trains. Great local restaurants nearby. Staff cleaned our room daily. I would highly recommend it.

AustraliaRoom was quite small although that isn’t unusual for London - the bathroom was tiny however the shower was great with plenty of hot water. The air conditioning stopped working on our last night and the room became very hot.
Location, very close to Paddington station and the Heathrow Express. Very clean room with a good breakfast included. The reception staff were excellent, very helpful.

DenmarkWe booked a suite, semiexpensive, as we were travelling with a teenager. First they gave us a dark and tiny room in the basement. When we complained, we were given a larger room but still in the basement with noise from the underground. The following day we got a nice room on the 3rd floor. Our advice: state clearly when you book, that you don't want the basement rooms!! Naively we didn't think it was even an option to put your guests underground, but in London apparently it is! Change of towels daily: Why? It's such a waste!!!
Great location and friendly staff. Quiet neighbourhood near good pubs. Ok beakfast but not particularly flashy. Nice and clean and seems newish.

A lovely small 'boutique' hotel. The room was very spacious and the beds comfy. Breakfast was generous with hot and cold options. Buffet breakfast so you could help yourself. Staff were very helpful. Very close to Paddington Station so good transport connections and train to Heathrow Airport.

CanadaMy room was in a separate building from the front desk - the buildings were connected, but I was a little unsettled to be in a separate building since I was travelling alone. My room was on the first floor right next to the elevator - I didn't hear any noise, but again I was a little uncomfortable being so close to the entrance since I was alone. I didn't have any safety issues while I was there, but was just always a little on edge. Towels on my first day had dirt marks on them, but housekeeping came every day to tidy the room.
Location was great and staff were friendly. Bathroom and room were perfect size for solo travel.

United States of AmericaRooms need a little more attention. A/C was not very cooling. Breakfast was really meager. Basically just fruit and bread. Coffee was sparse or not hot.
Staff were kind, courteous and helpful. Pool views and beach views were lovely. Dinner has nice choices and was played and served consistently.

United KingdomRooms are small as expected for London (booked executive twin) but getting in and out of the tiny bathroom with a small door is quite difficult even for myself and I am quite small and nimble. General areas like the hallways near the bedrooms weren't very clean.
