Booking.com littered with fake hotels in paris?

planning a trip to Paris for a long weekend and i've been loads of times. things have gotten a lot more expensive which is fine but we came across around 10 different listings everyday that are beautiful hotels near the centre for pretty low prices. As in around 25-50% of everything else.

For one of them, I managed to do a bit of investigation and found that the 30 reviews about it are about a hotel outside of Paris. A person who attached photos onto it attached photos of another beautiful hotel but very obviously not the one they have pictures advertising.

I've used booking to book over 100 properties over the past 10 years and never had issues. yeah you get the occasional scam messages but generally, it's been pretty good. I dont get this. Has someone come across soemthing like this before?
