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 KingdomRoom was newly created single (tiny) on 4th floor. No lift so with my health conditions was not ideal. Room was clean and freshly decorated but no wardrobe, bedside table, lamp or phone. OK for 1 or 2 nights, just to sleep. Did have nice shower room.
The location was perfect. Literally took 5 minutes to step off the train and walk to front door. The staff were the most helpful and friendly people i've come across in a city hotel. Can't praise them highly enough.

CanadaRooms are small compared to N. American hotels, but that is to be expected for London. Try a Superior room for a bit more space. Rooms are clean and comfortable.
The staff here is very helpful. Also, they will take your luggage to your room, so not having a lift is not as big a problem as with other hotels. Though breakfast is not served, there are many excellent places to eat within half a block (try Lite Bite for an excellent breakfast). Having Norfolk Square right in front provides a feeling of space and calm in spite of being 5 minutes from Paddington Station. Tour buses also stop at the end of the block. An excellent base for exploring London.

Fab location to Paddington but the trade off is the underground vibration as the tunnels are close. If you want convenience for the station this is ideal. Staff very helpful, knowledgeable, polite. A decent budget hotel.

United KingdomShower was a little unclean, as well as the overflow in the sink. Bed seemed to be on a slant which was a little disorienting in the night! Wasn't advised that bin collection day was on Monday so being on the ground floor at the front, I was woken with bin lorry noises and lights - at 3am!
Excellent location, friendly and informative staff.

United KingdomI’m glad I had ear plugs as the windows are very old/thin and there is a lot of noise outside throughout the night. Not hotels fault it’s just in a very busy part of London.
Very reasonably priced for location. Room was immaculate and staff were really friendly and helpful.

The hotel's proximity to Paddington metro station was perfect. The area boasts numerous cafes, restaurants, and enjoys a central position. The hotel staff, particularly Poornima, were exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for nearby attractions and delightful dining experiences at various restaurants.
