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 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 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.).

NetherlandsNice, relatively small (family run) hotel at walking distance from metrostation (Bakerloo, Cirlce, Hammersmith and District Lines). The room seemed recently refusbished, was perfectly clean and very comfortable. Simple, but good continental breakfast. The pub was well populated and had big tv-screens showing sports in the evening. Great Indian food on the menu. Worth a recommendation, as I would not hesitate to return in the future.

United KingdomOverall it was a great place to stay. The only issues we had was with the window lock in the bathroom which did not seem to work as the window fell wide open, and the blinds needed attention because they did not fully drop down - both issues minor and easily rectified. Another small niggle was the size of our bathroom sink which was tiny, with a low shelf above it so it was difficult to fill the room kettle (which was bigger than the sink itself) and difficult to clean your teeth as the shelf was in the way. However none of these issues detracted from the fact that this is a great hotel, fabulous value for money with exceptional staff.
The location was within walking distance of two underground stations in a quiet street. From the outside it looks like a quintessential London pub. There was a warm welcome from the staff. Our room was on the top floor, but there is a lift. It was decorated simply but tastefully and was absolutely spotlessly clean throughout. The bed was very comfortable with crisp sheets. Tea and coffee facilities were available although it was difficult to fill the large kettle as the sink was so small. The bathroom looked new, and was fully stocked with full size toiletries and good quality towels - once again, faultlessly clean. The breakfast was included in the room price and was continental, including toast and freshly brewed coffee, but you could purchase a full English which is served all day. We ate at the restaurant in the evening which serves English and Indian food. We opted for the Indian menu and tried a variety of dishes that were all superb. Service throughout was attentive and friendly without being obtrusive. People would be fine here dining on their own if they were on business.

FinlandThe hotel is a little far from the nearest tube station (Edgware Road), and I wouldn't necessarily walk that street during the night—it's nicer to walk from Marylebone tube station, even though it's longer. A mirror in the bathroom would be nice to have. Windows could be better insulated so it's quieter and the restaurant downstairs can't be heard.
The hotel is in a convenient location close to Paddington station. The room is a decent size for central London. The staff is lovely! Overall, if you need a decent place to crash and you're arriving at / departing from Heathrow, this is the one to go.

United KingdomThe lighting in the room was poor. One overhead light which was very dim. So once it was dark with no daylight from the two windows I couldn’t do any work or read my book. They need to add lamps or improve the lighting.

United KingdomNothing really but a little bit more light in the room may have helped but I arrived late and just wanted to sleep so ok. It was a little bit noisy in the corridor outside my room but only for a few minutes so that is quibbling.
Good location about 5 minute walk from Edgware Road Tube Station. Quiet neighbourhood, off the main Edgware Road and a good size and comfortable room. Breakfast in the morning was very good and a quick simple check-in and check-out process. Also nice that it isn't part of a chain which is uniform and boring.

United KingdomI didn’t realise before I booked that the breakfast is continental and not a full English. We had a lovely curry there however the menu shows Indian cuisine on one side of the menu sheet and English food on the other side. Very misleading as we were told that the English food wasn’t available.
We stayed in the executive suite which was lovely and spacious. The pub has a great atmosphere with friendly staff.

United KingdomQuite noisy. Noise from the pub on the ground floor could be heard till nearly 1am, making sleep difficult. Then at about 6.30am in the morning more noise as the downstairs was presumably set up for the day. So not a great night sleep. Arguably to be expected from a room in a pub but I’ve stayed in others with no noise disruption at all.
Nice rooms. Very clean, very comfortable. Close to Paddington and Maida Vale.

United KingdomThe only drawback was the lack of plugs in the room - there wasn't one near the kettle to use it and there also wasn't one next to the bed to charge your mobile phone. Also the set-up for Breakfast was a little noisy and could be heard quite clearly from the room. But honestly one of the best business stays I've had. I stay here regularly and this is the first time I've stayed in this room.
The staff are super helpful and friendly. The food if you decide to eat in the bar in the evening is exceptional. The rooms are comfortable and super clean.
