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.).

United KingdomSee above.
This hotel is less than 50 yards from Paddington Station. It is by far the cheapest hotel in the area. It is basically clean, beds are OK. For a quick one night stay, these two factors make up for the hotel's shabbiness and lack of any other facilities.

AustraliaAs with most of the older houses on London, the stairs are narrow and quite steep, when carrying more than 1 piece of luggage. 2 of the trains enter Paddington, just behind were I was staying and without double glassing and that part of the station being open, you heard every announcement and sometimes all night. Suggest you ask for a front room on London Street
Centre of Paddington Close to everywhere Helpful staff As it is a 2 star, it was good value for money in Paddongton

Canada- I mentioned this as a good thing but it's also a problem: "1 min walk from Paddington station" (you may need earplugs, nearby pubs, people playing soccer in the street late at night, travellers walking with their carry-on baggage, etc). - No elevator. - Very dated rooms and stairs.
- Excellent location (1 min walk from Paddington station). - Very good price (compared to other options in this location). - Comfortable bed and pillows. - We used this hotel just for sleeping and a quick night/morning shower (we spent those 2 days walking the city from 9 AM to 11 PM), so we didn't really need much... if you want/need more, this hotel is not for you (and you'll obviously have to pay more).

United KingdomThe room had been cleaned before I arrived (I could smell the cleaning products when I walked in hahaha), however the bathroom wasn't as clean as I would have hoped. One of the toilet papers had a strange dried yellow substance on it so I didn't use that one. I'm sure if I asked staff for another they would have replaced it but I didn't find it necessary. I wish a bathmat was provided as I didnt have a way to dry my feet after a shower. I stayed on the 2nd floor and my room window was directly over one of the platforms in Paddington Station, so I could hear all of the train announcements. I didn't mind it so much as I like ambient noise at night to sleep, but bare that in mind if you are planning on staying here - maybe invest in some earplugs.
I loved that it was just steps away from paddington station as I needed to use the tube a fair amount. The mattress was a spring mattress but I slept well with no problems - I grew up with a spring mattress so I was comfortable. The pillows were very comfortable and the sheets were clean. The price was superb considering the location and the fact I also had a private bathroom - its rare to find that in London. It was a small room but as a solo traveller I enjoyed it as it made it feel more cozy.

United StatesThe place could use some aesthetic repairs but that would cost money. The room was adequate.
The unit was clean. The bed was comfortable. The price was good. It is near Paddington Station. There is a lot of good places to eat nearby. The street scene in the neighborhood is fun. The building is secure. The staff was friendly and helpful. the TV worked. I never used the WiFi but I'm sure it is good.

Friendly staff and very helpful with carrying our luggage, okay for a couple of nights Excellent location, a couple of minutes to Paddington station. Despite the remarks left below, we would stay there again.

United KingdomHotel is very run down, especially the flooring in the room - but it's priced accordingly so can't complain. Room was directly above Paddington District Line station, who tested their emergency alarm at full volume at 4:10 AM - which was unfortunate and to be fair not the fault of the hotel.
Friendly staff, clean bed and bathroom. Convenient location. Reception open until late.
