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 StatesOur continued dislike is the fact that access to Wi-Fi is not considered a standard amenity, and you need to subscribe/pay for it separately. Definitely a missed opportunity for the hotel to complete its high level of customer service.
My husband and I have stayed at the Fairmont numerous times, it is our go to hotel when visiting DC. Staying at the Fairmont is always a pleasure, the rooms are very clean, staff is amazing, and the location is great.

TurkeyThe housekeeping staff was quite loud every morning, which made it difficult to sleep in. I had to wake up each day to the noise they were making, and although this was the only issue I experienced, it was rather frustrating. Also, having to pay for Wi-Fi doesn’t quite fit with expectations in 2025. Of course, this is the hotel’s policy and it was clearly stated on Booking.com, so this is just a personal opinion. But perhaps including Wi-Fi in the room rate—by raising it slightly, say $15 (daily wifi rate)—might come across as more refined.
The hotel was comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well located, and felt extremely safe. The room was beautifully decorated and the entire place smelled amazing.

United StatesAt the Fairmont everything is ala cart, internet, tv, ect. unless of course one joins there program which they send you a link to but your unable to open unless you pay for internet which I believe is about 30 dollars for 24 hours. The health club at the facility is well equipped and has a lap pool but in the basement is poorly ventilated, despite numerous air scrubbing machines throughout the facility which is kind on an subterrain labyrinth. The lap pool area has an excess of Chlorine gas which of course makes your swim a bit more of a challenge.
Room was super comfortable and quiet, excellent king size bed, super amenable maid services. The property is well maintained with plenty of gathering spots indoors and out.

United StatesBeing charged for Wi-Fi is something I'm not accustomed to. Additionally, the lobby was very crowded but that's to be expected for a popular hotel.
The room was sumptious - upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the courtyard was an added touch. The bed and bathroom, specifically the shower, was extraordinarily comfortable.

United States1. After checking in, we found a box of ink in our room (most likely left behind by previous hotel guests). Hotel should have checked the room before our stay. 2. The bathroom door cannot be locked though it did nor really affect our stay. We did report to hotel when check out, so it can be taken care of for the next guest. 3. Room fridge is full with drinks; cannot put our fruit or water in at all. It will be best if it can be arranged to be half packed so guest can use it also.
Room is roomy; hotel staffs are very polite; location is great for our stay.
