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.).

United KingdomThere's a lot of narrow stairs to the top floors so if thats an issue I would phone ahead to see what rooms are available. Also if in the single rooms luggage storage could be an issue, I had a small backpack and there wasn't really space for anything larger.
Excellent location, a short walk from Paddington overground & tube. Restaurants, pubs and shops in the area. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The room on the 4th floor was small but adequate, clean and warm. It was nice to be able to fully open the window to get some fresh air and being at the back of the building there was no street noise. Didnt cost much more than a bed in a hostel so was good value for money. I would stay again.

United StatesIt was just too small. We knew it, but booked it anyway. After 5 nights we were going a little crazy. It's very noisy with the adjacent rooms. Paper thin walls.
Our lady Mitra got our room ready and we could check in at 7:30AM!!! It was a godsend after not sleeping much on the plane. She was amazing!

Netherlandsthe photo's on the site were very misleading. The room looked way larger than it actually was. The door to the shower was see through, and I was just traveling with a friend, not a spouse... The lavatory was very small, and we could not even properly fill your 0.5L bottle in the sink but had to do it with the cups in the room instead. The lavatory door didn't stay closed well unless locked. We had little space besides the bed and the small desk.
We did like that we had a tv, hangers and a kettle + tea/sugar/cups waiting for us in the room. The nearest tubestation was less then 2 minutes away, and has a good connection to Heathrow airport. It was also nice that we were able to drop off our bags on our last day in London, and come to collect them later.

SpainThe room and bathroom can feel a bit too small at first, but that's to be expected around here. You can rest just fine and it's not a problem really.
The Falcon hotel is a perfect choice to explore London and beyond for a few days, right next to Paddington station and lots of restaurants and shops to make your trip easy. The staff is the best, really nice and welcoming people, they made us feel at home.

United KingdomLots of stairs unless you are on the ground floor. If you have heavy luggage it’s a bit of a mission to lug it all the way up like we did but it was manageable.
Perfect location if you get off from Paddington, literally around the corner. We found it quiet with lots of restaurants nearby serving great food. All the staff were helpful and kind and happy.
