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 location was wonderful for our short 2-day business trip. We were able to walk around the downtown area, walk down by the river and across to the park. There were plenty of restaurants, night life, and shopping. We felt safe in the area around the hotel.
The room size was a bit cramped. This was offset by a nice view and lovely amenities within the room (e.g., automatic blinds, wonderful shower with strong water pressure, nicely scented soaps, and Apple TV enable TV). There was plenty of storage, plus a comfortable bed and pillows.
Dear Pohl, Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Austin Proper for your business trip. We’re delighted to hear that our central location, room amenities, and on‑site restaurants made your stay so enjoyable, and that you felt comfortable exploring the area. We appreciate your feedback regarding room size and are glad that the view, thoughtful features like automatic blinds, and in‑room comforts helped offset this for you. Your kind comments about the shower, storage, and bedding mean a lot to our team. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back on your next visit to Austin. Warm regards, Natascha Seifritz Director of Hotel Relations

Verified reviewThe hotel's restaurants were outstanding, offering exceptional dining experiences. The room featured modern, tasteful decor that created a comfortable and stylish atmosphere. The spacious fitness area was well-equipped with a wide variety of machines, and the spa was a delightful bonus that added to the overall relaxation.
While the hotel had many great features, cleanliness was noticeably lacking. The floors, particularly in the bathroom and along the edges of the room, felt sticky, and the bed sheets were uncomfortably rough. The fitness center was especially unclean, with a visible layer of dirt on the floor. Before using the exercise mats, I wiped them down with the provided disinfecting towelettes, which came away black—clearly indicating they hadn’t been properly cleaned. Although the front desk staff were friendly, they offered minimal guidance regarding the hotel’s facilities and directions, which made navigating the amenities a bit challenging.

Verified reviewHaving stayed at Proper Santa Monica I definitely wanted to book this hotel. It was just as good as the Proper hotel in Santa Monica. Wonderful reception, nice drinking and dining options, fantastic food and drink, and wonderful ambience. The gym is among the best hotel gyms I have ever been to. And I'm picky about gyms!
Nothing. This is a great hotel
Dear Jeremy, Thank you for your fantastic review and for choosing us after your positive experience at Proper Santa Monica! We're delighted you found us equally impressive. I'm thrilled you enjoyed our reception service, dining options, food quality, and overall ambience. Your comment about our gym being among the best you've experienced is especially rewarding - we know discerning fitness enthusiasts like yourself have high standards! We sincerely appreciate you considering us the benchmark for how "a city hotel should be" and hope to welcome you back during your next visit to Austin.
