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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 had very dark decoration, with quite a few antlers on display (!). Very small bedroom space, but only staying overnight so not a big issue for me on this occasion. Also tv ariel was broken so no signal, but did not need ito use it on this occasion.
Despite the dark bedroom space, bathroom very clean and tastefully decorated and shower had a good pressure/temperature. Only negative was that shower floor towel was wet prior to use, not sure if there was a shower tray leak or not, but did not effect usage.

United KingdomNot being able to take the key out with you is bizarre, and the first time I encountered that level of security. I also thought the decor in the room is out of the 1940's. The wood furnishings would have been perfectly acceptable in a shabby chic kind of way but the olive green walls and ceiling feel like a prison. It is a dark room that is poorly lit and the shower had no hot water. The radiator wasn't on when we came back at night and the room was freezing. The 10 tog duvet was insufficient for the room temperature and we slept in coats. I would not wish to stay here again. There was no milk sachets to serve milk so I wonder why they bother giving you tea and coffee.
The hotel is quite close to Paddington station, and Edgware tube. It is in a nice and safe part of London, and it is close to Hyde park for a nice stroll. The staff are trying their best, but the hotel needs tlc. The bathroom was the best part as the tiled decor is lovely, and the room is prepared to a professional standard.

United KingdomOur first room in the basement had a broken window seal and wouldn't close, so we could hear everything on the street outside as if there was no window at all. The staff let us change rooms the next night, which was great - we had no outside noise BUT, we could hear every part of the conversation (and song singing 😆) of the couple in the room next door til about 3 am, and again at about 7 am (go them!!) so sleep was very disturbed. It really needs sound proofing.
Good location, quirky hotel with character. Helpful staff.

United KingdomIt wasn't at the pavilion building but a couple of doors down. Which i would not have known if a cleaner wasn't outside having a cigarette at the time. room was in a basement area which was down narrow stairs. Not suitable for mobility impaired. Asked if I could be on the ground floor but no. Even though they were not fully booked. Don't think the staff had any authority to make adaptations.

United KingdomThe mattress is around 20-30 years past its usable life!
As a Manager in 4/5 star hotels on an interviews trip, wanted some5ing cheap & cheerful. My room at least, tastefully decorated in a Victorian-30s style. Room was clean. Bathroom good. Bed was an original 1930s / 1940s bed which is fine as a vintage fan.. but guys.. needs a new mattress 😂 sunken in middle and solid. Old frames add character, old mattresses add aches and pains! But overall for good central spot to move about from, £90 with. Anthropomorphic a Friday night, was fine for me.

United KingdomThe reason I’ve book the property because I look up the Pavillion hotel ( same name and address ) and they have an amazing decoration, But when we turn up the door is lock and we have to go to the 2 star hotel 3 doors away . And paid £140 when the other room in this hotel is £100 My partner having diarrhoea so we asking for the extra toilet roll which staff said you can have only 1 per day , so we bough our own Room is tiny and it’s in the basement , It’s feel cold and no heating , mattress is dress no shampoo or hair dry provide I need to borrow one from reception ( and it’s no PAT test on this hair dry it’s look dangerous )and return as soon as possible ( surely for £280 for 2 night they can afford more £5 hair dryer ) No lobby none of any facilities No great set of tea coffee no milk It was my big day at the palace garden , so I’m very disappointed and I don’t want anyone to go to the same experience, because you can spend same amount money with the better room and got breakfast in the same area of this hotel
