Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomI wish the shower head had a bit more pressure and that the lighting in the bathroom was brighter/stronger. The television, compared to other hotels is a bit outdated in the sense that you can’t connect your phone to stream your own programmes. But you can still watch normal television. So honestly, taking into account the low price, I think this hotel is totally worth it.
The location was excellent. Right next to Paddington underground. Also close to some corner shops and restaurants. So you don’t need to venture far if you need some essentials or a quick dinner. The bed was really comfortable and I slept really well. You can hear the underground a little but it wasn’t enough to disturb me or my sleep so I didn’t mind. The room was very clean. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. I appreciated that you could leave your luggage in the luggage hold after checkout. I would say this hotel is for someone who is planning to be on the go. Overall very happy.

Location was fantastic for walking or catching the tube. Super quiet street but so close to Hyde Park and eateries, cafes close by. Complimentary coffee and tea in the room. Bed was comfortable and the room, facilities clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay.

United StatesThe room was too small for a King sized bed. If you want to get to the other side of the bed you literally had to crawl across the bed or shimmy in front of the bed next to the wall with the TV. About 6 inches. Some damage to the room that can easily be fixed with paint.
It was quiet other then the tube running under the hotel. But it wasn’t bad at night and i wear earplugs. Staff were pleasant.

United Kingdom- I arrived at the hotel late after a long afternoon of travel, and there was a note on the desk saying that the staff member would return after 10 mins. However I was waiting for about 20 minutes along with other people and I had to call the desk phone to get their attention. The staff member was just in the room behind the desk - I'm sure they were busy but I was a little confused why they hadn't come out to check if anyone was there. - There was no remote control in the bedroom for the TV. - The window in the bathroom had a broken latch so it was permanently open, and the room was pretty cold. There wasn't any temperature control or way of warming it up.
I thought that the room and bathroom were nicely decorated and clean, and the bed was very comfortable

IrelandThe room was much tinier than we expected but manageable. The glass door to the bathroom didn’t close properly (and there was no lock) so there was not really any privacy. The toiletries in the shower didn’t dispense as the pumps were broken. There was some noise from the underground but to be expected and didn’t bother us.
The location was ideal. Very close to Paddington station. The staff were very nice at reception.

SwedenThe room was a bit on the pricey side, and breakfast wasn’t included in the rate—which would have been a nice touch. It would’ve been lovely to enjoy a little breakfast at the hotel in the mornings. That said, we found some charming cafés in the neighborhood where we had great breakfasts, so it turned out to be a nice way to explore the area too.
The hotel had a fantastic location, just a short walk from Paddington Station. There were plenty of cozy pubs and restaurants nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was lovely—though a bit on the smaller side. Everything was clean and tidy, and the housekeeping was excellent. The neighborhood around the hotel was fairly quiet, and we weren't disturbed by any street noise at night, which made for a great night's sleep. Overall, we had a really pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this hotel, even if it was a little on the pricey side.

Close for trains, tube and buses Lots of nice restaurants and pubs within walking distance Very comfy bed Room was cleaned to a very high standard every day Plenty of extras in the room e.g Kettle, hairdryer, tea, coffee machine, biscuits and toiletries
