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...).

CanadaTurned out to be a basement unit which was a bit disappointing. Construction was underway in a nearby unit which started quite early (7:30 am) disrupting our sleep and repeatedly triggering the fire alarm during the day. Early morning noise from the cleaning staff was also noticeable, plus some noise from a family in a nearby unit. A little light on cutlery, plates, glasses, etc., but manageable for a party of two.
Modern but compact apartment in the Paddington district with a kitchenette - met our needs pretty well. Conveniently located near Paddington train/tube station, Hyde Park, restaurants and several small food stores.

CanadaThey gave me a room in the third floor and I was traveling with a big luggage. No elevator in the building so it was a struggle to carry on the luggage to the higher floor.
Nice location, close to Hyde park and paddington station. Neighborhood also has some nice restaurants and cafe that are well rated. Apartment very comfy and it has what you need.

United States of AmericaThe only actual window was in the bedroom (so neither kitchen nor bathroom had windows). It looked out onto a service staircase to the front of the property, so opening the curtains was not an option. Overall, it was not a place I would hang out in, but it was ok for sleeping and minor cooking. Also, the bedroom light switch was at the door, with no bedside lamp, so turning off the light meant finding the bed in darkness.
The location is excellent-- just a short walk from Paddington station, but in a lovely neighborhood. I was in a basement studio. The kitchen area is small, as is the bathroom (especially the shower), but the bedroom was a nice size. It was larger than a hotel room of comparable price.

NetherlandsThe noise wasn't great. The street we were on was quiet, but the people in neighbouring rooms came and went at all times and due to the amount of rooms in close proximity, it was hard to sleep when doors were slamming left and right. We were also on the highest floor and bringing the luggage up the narrow stairs was very difficult, especially the last set that was even narrowed than before.
The location is great-- just a few minutes away from Paddington station and Hyde Park. There were plenty of stores and restaurants around for food.

AustraliaAcoustic isolation between the floors could be improved, but overall, our sleep was quite comfortable.
Great hotel location close to restaurants, coffee shops, park, and transportation. During our nine-night stay the apartment was consistently kept to highest standards of cleanness by the very professional hotel personnel (Larisa and Maria). Apartment is more spacious than photos might suggest. Street was unexpectable quiet for a reasonably central location on one of the World's most vibrant city.

United KingdomProbably too harsh considering the price was great for a last minute check in but it would've been nice to be able link the TV to my phone so I could listen to some music or watch something as I felt it was almost too quiet in the room.
Really great, spacious room for a very reasonable price. Decent facilities. Check In was simple in the end. After I explained that I hasn't received the email to check in online they was able to sort things out.

United KingdomAs a suggestion, it would have been nice to have bed side lamps as well as the main lighting. It meant you had to have the main lighting on which was bright and with the switches on the opposite side of the room to bed. The walls and floors are pretty thin given it's an old building. That said, the other residents were quiet.
Good location. Well informed regarding access and the access was fine. there was a 'concierge' person there who was of assistance too. The property was clean and tidy and well-equipped. Happy overall
