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 reviewLocation was great. Room was nice and bed was comfortable. No issues there.
Room key was finicky and shower lever was difficult to get working. Construction was a pain to work around but they have little control over that. Hotel parking was Valet only and very expensive. Only makes sense if you are frequently getting your car. Union station Parking garage, not managed by hotel, was a bargain but a few blocks to walk. Not a big deal for me.
Kevin, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed our central location, your room, and the comfort of the bed. We’re sorry to hear about the challenges with your room key and shower lever, our team will be sure to get those checked. We also understand how the construction may have impacted your stay. This work is part of a city project and not under our direct control, but please know we are working closely with them to minimize the inconvenience for our guests. Regarding parking, like most downtown areas, complimentary parking isn’t available due to market demand. Our valet option is designed for convenience, while the Union Station garage provides a more budget-friendly alternative for those who don’t mind the short walk. We truly appreciate your thoughtful comments and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even better stay.

Verified reviewUnique setting, very clean, staff extremely friendly. Breakfast buffet (not included) was one of the best hotel buffets I’ve had.
Construction right outside front doors. Only option for parking at the hotel is valet which is $50 per night.

Parking was offsite in a parking garage. The pillows were really big.

Valued Guest, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the clean and pleasant atmosphere of the hotel, as well as our convenient location near the convention center. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding parking. To clarify, we offer valet-only service, with rates typically ranging between $45 and $65 per night depending on market demand. This information is listed on all major booking platforms as well as our official website. We apologize if this was not the information you understood prior to your arrival, and we understand how that could have been frustrating. We also regret that the nearby train activity affected your rest. While our historic setting inside a former train station is a highlight for many, we understand the sound of passing trains can be disruptive for some. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team during your stay, we’re always happy to do what we can to find a quieter room when available. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back for a more comfortable experience in the future.

Verified reviewA Dream That Turned Into an Absolute Nightmare What was supposed to be a relaxing and special stay turned into one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, we were treated with such disrespect, it honestly left me shocked and hurt. We were given a suite, but it ended up having a serious issue: the toilet made this awful grinding, squealing, and high-pitched whistling noise every time it was flushed—or even when another room’s toilet was used. It was loud, constant, and unbearable. My husband and I both got terrible migraines from it, and I even fainted from how overwhelmed and sick it made me feel. When we reported it, no one took it seriously. No apology, no fix, no offer to switch rooms—nothing. We were completely dismissed. To make matters worse, housekeeping walked in on us while we were still asleep and completely undressed, well before the 11 a.m. checkout time, it was more like 8:50 AM. There was barely a knock, no warning at all, just someone entering our room while we were completely vulnerable. I’ve never felt so violated in a hotel. It was beyond inappropriate. And I have to mention Bre, the staff member who spoke to us when we asked for help. She was cold, unkind, and clearly annoyed with us from the start. I don’t know what we did to deserve that attitude, but it was clear she had no interest in helping us or making our stay better. Honestly, someone with that kind of attitude shouldn’t be working in hospitality at all. Luckily, for us, the morning staff was a completely different group of people, and they were kind and accommodating and so was the valet. Unfortunately I give this experience 1 star as it ultimately left me feeling hurt, offended, and totally disrespected. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. Save yourself the headache—literally—and stay somewhere that actually cares about its guests.

Guajardo, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you experienced discomfort and distress during your time with us. After reviewing your reservation and the events during your stay, we want to clarify that upon learning of the issues in your original room, our team immediately arranged for a room move to address the problem. We understand the situation was difficult, and we acknowledge there were some challenging interactions in the lobby, witnessed by other guests, which impacted the experience for everyone involved. Please also note that your stay was discounted as an appropriate compensation for the inconveniences you faced. I, the Front Office Manager personally spoke with you the following morning in an effort to make things right and offered what we believe was a fair resolution. We sincerely apologize that this did not fully satisfy you. We strive to provide excellent service to all our guests and take all feedback seriously to improve. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Thank you again for your comments.
