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 only positive thing about staying here was the front desk staff, which were courteous.
The room smelled like an antique shop in that it hadn't been aired out in ages. The sink was constructed in a way that showed little forethought: the basin, which was placed on top of the counter, was not only too high to comfortably wash our face, but far away enough from the faucet so that the water ran behind the basin instead of into it. The bed was not only incredibly high but impressively uncomfortable: the mattress was clumpy, sheets were scratchy, and the pillowcases had hair on them. The towels in the bathroom, which was strangely designed, had yellow and brown stains on them. And, last but not least, breakfast was served at 10:30am instead of the time advertised.

Rooms are a bit dated, sink faucet was loose, no iron, towels and robes were dingy, beds too soft, pool was ok. Did not have the breakfast.

Verified reviewThe location is great and they were available for a last minute reservation when I had made a mistake on a reservation nearby.
Staff was remote and the process to check in felt cumbersome and slow. It was more expensive than a nearby spot that we stayed in the next night and was infinitely better appointed with better service. I felt like this was staying in a motel 6.

Verified reviewGood location for walking into town. Pool was clean and comfortable. Mattress was fine.
Room was overstuffed with bad, run down furniture and oversized jacuzzi tub. No place to put clothes away or even to store a suitcase. All hooks in bathroom were either broken or wonky. Sheets and towels were old and thin.

Verified reviewComfortable room, free breakfast, ready access to Libbey Bowl and downtown, free parking.
My only suggestion to management: install a "grab" bar in every shower, not just the handicap room. Frankly, this should be a law for all public accommodations. Compare the cost of installation to that of one lawsuit by an injured guest.
