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 StatesI booked through booking.com. Gave my ID, but my reservation was no where to be found. They said I needed to request a cancelation and rebook. Or book another room. I did request a cancelation and rebooked. Just waiting for that cancelation.

United StatesWas a little disappointed because I asked for room service, and my room was not cleaned for the second night that I stayed there. I saw the lady cleaning the room next-door to mine. I told her she can come back in an hour. She said OK, but I made sure front desk knew that I wanted them to clean my room. And it still wasn’t done.
Felt safe and was clean

United StatesThere is no lobby. No place to relax and watch tv in a larger setting. Go across the street to your competitor, and they have wonderful lobby space. They also have a better breakfast. We tried to get the holiday inn across from the Hampton, but they were booked. …they have better service, better rooms, better breakfast, and a lobby? Who would have made the mistake at Hampton?
Location was close to our San Jose, Ca., location. We stayed here three times because of proximity and price.

United StatesNo bolt lock on the door. The bathroom door doesn’t lock. The shower did not have a tub, so water was on bathroom floor after taking a shower. The outlets to plug up my phone charger on the night stand would not hold the charger.
Staff was helpful and friendly. Very clean. Airport shuttle was good. The breakfast was good and breakfast area was comfortable.

United StatesThe sink faucet is in a rather odd location at the corner which doesn't leave much room to wash hands without splashing the counter. During breakfast, there was frequently a shortage of certain items well before the time had concluded. One of the nights, they ran out of parking (the manager had to tell people to park in the fire lane). This is despite the fact that they charge for parking.
The hotel is very conveniently located along the light rail and bus route. There was a nice assortment of breakfast options and a decently large enough area for everyone to find a table.

United StatesRoom was right outside of a trolly stop. Very loud all night long. Could hear neighbors loud music through walls, on and off campus. Our first room was infested with ants and the faucet in the bathroom of the “new” room was so close to the edge of the sink it was impossible to use it without water getting all over the counter and floor.
Room was spacious and breakfast was decent

United StatesWe did not like the fact that we had to pay $10 to park in the hotel parking lot, that we were staying at. Ridiculous. Why on earth should someone have to spend money to park when they’re already staying at the hotel, paying for a room. We really liked the hotel, and we most likely will stay there again, but if we find one for the same price, and they did not charge the $10 to park in the parking lot, we most likely will stay there. We also didn’t like how short the faucet was in the bathroom. Every time we would use the bathroom sink, water would get everywhere, and it was hard to wash our hands. Whoever designed the sink was not thinking straight.
The room was quiet, clean, the bed was comfortable, the pillows were comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, and exceeded our expectations.

United StatesUncomfortable beds, staff. We called the hotel on two separate occasions to add names to our reservation and confirmed each time they would be able to check in. Upon arrival the front desk had no record of our calls and additional names were not added to reservation. The staff checked guests into a room because our last names matched; doesn’t seem like good safety practice.
