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 great for visiting Ballard and the nearby area, but it was far from activities in downtown Seattle. The room was very nice.
The carpet in our room had big stains. Housekeeping did not come until late afternoon.

Verified reviewBeautiful. Lovely spacious room with plenty of drawer & closet space & a little balcony overlooking the canal.
No breakfast available on site and hard to find a local café with more than just some baked goods and coffee — no omelets in sight.

Verified reviewGreat location and we had a large room on the top floor. Front desk staff were excellent. Free access to the adjoining gym was a real plus.
I thought that the lighting in the room could have been a bit brighter, but nothing else.

Verified reviewIt was really close to my wedding venue.
The original receptionist I talked to was kinda snooty. I was asking general questions as I was having my wedding that weekend and she was giving me attitude. But the receptionists when we were actually there was nice! If only I could split this review to have one favorable and one not. Also it was not clean. There was a toenail inside the covers of our bed. We didn’t complain cos it was midnight and we were tired. But gross.

Verified reviewAmazingly beautiful room, and bring workout wear because the gym facility is first-rate!
Street noise. Our room was facing a couple pubs, restaurants, farmer's market- which is great for food selection. Not so much for peace and quiet. They have a loud fan which helps.

Verified reviewLocation is great.
Awful customer service. They were hosting two weddings over the weekend, our room was situated beneath the roof pavilion where the weddings were taking place. The noise was unbearable to the point the ceiling was vibrating with people stomping, running, moving furniture, etc from 4pm to midnight. Front desk could not move us to another room or offer any other solution, literally offered nothing to make up for the noise/disruption/lack of sleep, we were told to call the manager. Manager did not answer their phone the whole weekend. Still have not heard anything back from them and no resolution to the uncomfortable stay we had.
