How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe hotel was well-situated and within walking distance of Union Station, Millennium Park, Michigan Ave shops, and more. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet.
The front desk staff stopped being responsive after I checked in and after I was placed in a smaller room with fewer amenities than what my booking included (more space, a couch, coffee maker, minibar). The restaurant, including breakfast, is not open on the weekends, which was when I stayed, and the hotel charges a $32/night fee for amenities that either weren’t available or are basic expected amenities for hotels (eg, WiFi access). I was traveling with my service dog and chose this hotel because it was advertised as pet-friendly and had amenities for dogs, but none of that was available or placed in my room ahead of time (as was also advertised). The rest of the staff was great but I found management to be unresponsive & missing during my two day stay.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our convenient location and found your room quiet and comfortable. It's also great to know that several members of our team left a positive impression. That said, we're truly sorry to hear about the shortcomings you experienced during your stay. We understand how frustrating it must have been to not receive the room type and amenities you originally booked, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of responsiveness and communication from management during your visit. Your concerns about the pet-friendly accommodations, weekend restaurant availability, and the amenity fee are especially important, and we’ll be reviewing each of these areas closely to ensure our services and messaging better align with guest expectations. Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we work to improve, and we hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the experience you originally expected — and deserve.

I think this is quite pricy for what you get, as there are no extra services/breakfast and every single thing has an extra charge. But I guess that’s how it is in the US anyway
