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 StatesThe Gold experience includes the lounges and everything was delightful. We have been coming with our group of girlfriends for a staycation for the past five years for the luxurious rooms, great service, and pools. From being welcomed in at the front desk by Abbey or the staff at the lounge or pool, everyone ensured we had what we needed. We are from Austin and love the convenience to downtown, Rainey and east side so we get a reservation someplace great nearby.

United StatesNot understanding what an 'honor bar' was. When booking we were under the belief that alcohol was included in lounge, however it wasn't, it was an additional expense. Hopefully this comment assists others when booking.
The Gold rooms on floor 35 were great with awesome view down to the pool area. The buffet breakfast, canapes, dessert bar in the lounge as well as free non alcoholic drinks and water was definitely worth the extra amount on the room. As a family of 4 we were really able to utilise the lounge well and feel like we achieved value for money. The pool/hot tub was also amazing! Big hit with the kids.

United StatesThe bedding made it uncomfortably hot to sleep. The hot duvet on the bed with no top sheets or blanket meant either overheat or sleep with no covers.

United StatesThe cost of the parking in the hotel was not specified when I did the reservation. It was very expensive $50.00 per night. Considering the price you pay for the room the parking should be included.
The location was great, several restaurants, museums and all kinds of activities to choose from. The hotel is beautiful, the staff was always helpful, the breakfast was delicious with lots of options, also the beds and pillows were great incredibly comfortable.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't love was not having a menu booklet in the room to browse through for all the restaurants in the hotel. It was on a QR code. As was the spa menu and I think post covid it's ok to have laminated docs for folks to review. Small thing but that's all I can think of.
Our experience was so wonderful. I wish we were able to arrive in time for canapes in the lounge at 5pm but we arrived around 7pm and did enjoy dessert from 8-9pm. Every staff member we interacted with was wonderful. I believe it was Veleska (spelling may be wrong I apologize) who checked us in) she got us a great room and had her eye on my wandering 6 year old at all times somehow. I believe she was the sweet soul who sent a small bday sweet to my room on my 50th bday which was just the most special thing. We absolutely LOVED the breakfast - wonderful spread from hot food - eggs, oatmeal, potatoes, waffles (amazing, pancakes, bagels, fruit, yogurt, cereal - we left FULL. The coffee bar was great and the cold drink options were as well. We don't drink but I did enjoy a 0.0 beer in the lounge which I enjoyed. We did make canapes at 5pm before going out. We planned to do happy hour oysters in the bar downstairs but the crudite was so good we didn't have room. The room was spotless! The bed was so super comfortable. The view of the city from the room and of the lounge was absolutely amazing. This is the hotel by which all others will be judged now and I expect others will struggle. We did enjoy the pool and hot tub out on the 7th roof during the afternoon which was really nice. Dropped into the spa and got a tour, considered the spa pass to enjoy the steam room, sauna and jacuzzi in the women's lounge. Next time for sure. During the week I think they said the day pass was $60 which is affordable I just only had an hour or two. I live in Austin so will make a spa appt on a day I have free time so i can enjoy it all. My daughter already wants to know when we are coming back to the Fairmont. Also love that Accor Hotels will match online pricing if you call them directly. Didn't know that!

United StatesNothing. They thought of everything and the training of the staff was impeccable.
I could not recommend the Fairmont with any more enthusiasm! If I could rate it an eleven or twelve I would! The hotel was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was attended to. The staff were friendly and always more than willing to help. The Gold level provided access to a private 35th floor longe with a wonderful breakfast, afternoon snack, canape and dessert. The view of Austin from the lounge was spectacular! Access to the heated rooftop pool was from the 7th floor. It was comfortable and relaxing even in though the air was cool during our visit. We borrowed the complimentary bikes and used the extensive trail system to explore the city daily.
