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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

ItalyThe room was very small (+ would need basic renovation), the toiletries were basic (only solid hand soap and shower cup - no shower gel or shampoo), the bed could be more comfortable.
The room was clean enough, the location very good, and check-in and check-out were very fast.

AustraliaThe room and bathroom were absolutely tiny. There is no soundproofing anywhere. You can hear the people walking around upstairs, hear people walking past your door and everything out on the street. If you’re a light sleeper, this place is not for you!
Good location with pleasant reception and elevators to all floors. Room was clean and it had everything I needed.

Price point. Staff were very good and accommodative.

AustraliaVery hot in rooms no air conditioning, spiral staircase in family room wasn't ideal for us with a younger child. Main double bed very short in length for tall adults. Very noisy nights sleep as we had to keep windows open as hot and stuffy.
Basic but sufficient breakfast, good location close to tube

United KingdomDidn't like the fact that the rooms were bit small. The shower needed to be bit bigger. In length and width. If you were a large person you would struggle to get and out of. Needs a hand rail incase of falls. In showers and shower/bath areas. No air conditioning in any of the high floors only fans were given. Very warm rooms. Should be more socket areas around the room not only in one place. The toilets were low to sit on. Breakfast was nice. Just shame it didn't have a cooked breakfast there to have.
The hotel was in a perfect location in Paddington. Hotel was very clean and presentable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. It was more a continental breakfast. Rooms were clean. Towels changed regularly . In good location to many food options and places to eat.

Breakfast was normal continental breakfast. Dining room was small but kept clean and the lady supervising was working hard to keep things going. Staff was friendly and helpful in reception and room was clean well maintained if quite small. All and all good experience

PortugalThe breakfast was really good, tasty and with a lot of variety. The hotel in general was really good but the room itself was a mess, the floors made a lot of noise, the walls were all dirty and painted and the windows in wood was a bit poor but it was almost spacious, the bed and pillows were super clean and comfortable and the bathroom was ok, not big but with everything you must need

IsraelThe mattress was very hard, which some people might find uncomfortable (I did - could barely sleep on it). The shower head kept falling from its place. The room didn’t feel very clean, and was also very cramped. We knew the size in advance, but felt like it could have been designed better. Also - the hotel has an absurd number of doors, so it was pretty hard to navigate large suitcases in narrow carpeted halls.
The hotel is about a 3-minutes walk from Paddington station, which was exactly what we were looking for as we arrived in London late at night. The staff were very friendly and the check in (at near midnight) went very smoothly.

United KingdomLight came in the room quite early due to the curtains not quite covering the windows. There was no bin in the main room, just in bathroom! Lift to level 5 very small and awkward to call - but these are very small things!
2nd time staying this summer! Really good location, close to lots of tube links. Room was comfortable, had most amenities needed and staff very friendly!

AustraliaCost of food in nearby cafe’s & restaurants. Hotel was great.
Breakfast was very good - plenty of food & variety. The room was small but suited our purpose. Very centrally located close the shops, pubs, cafes & restaurants albeit most were expensive. Trains were close by and with Paddington being such a large station - it wasn’t too difficult to find the station we needed to get to our destination.
