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 StatesResponding to your request. We didn't like the entire nature of business for the welfare of the public at this hotel. Bedding tattered (old and torn; in poor condition). Sheets were unclean. Towels were not presentable for use. We were afraid to sleep in or on the bed making a long and unrestful night. Some other residents appeared drunk, drugged, or casted away from the working society. The building was not welcoming for tired travelers spending money for being away from home. Perhaps there are those with low expectations of their surroundings and themselves who would have no problems. Someone should take pride in the place for all man kind.
Breakfast was not inclusive by the establishment.

I liked that the facility was 2 miles from the entertainment I was in town for.

BelgiumBirmingham does not seem to have any center, or any life in general. One would expect to see tumbleweeds roll through the streets and sidewalks. Admittedly, there is some bar life to the south east. And in the center, Jim Reed Books is an absolutely out of place gem.
Huge place, right in the center, spacious parking lot.

United StatesIt was difficult to understand the receptionist, trying to communicate through what appeared to be bullet proof glass. The air conditioner unit was falling apart, but it did seem to work fine. There was not fitted sheet on the bed, and during the night, I was repeatedly bitten on the legs by something in the bed. The shower had only hot water, too hot to use, and could not be adjusted.
I liked the distance from UAB, where I had an early morning appointment. However, the neighborhood was run down and gave the impression it may be dangerous.

The room had gigantic roaches running across the floor and the TV didn't work. I was so angry I left after an hour and the front desk didn't reimburse my money after I told them why I was leaving.
