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 StatesThey need new luggage carts. The older ones they have are large and barely fit through the room doors.
It is a fabulous hotel and every bit the Holiday Inn Express quality. AND it is tightly squeezed in on its piece of property there on Woodward. Staff great.

United StatesThe only thing from an ADA perspective. The shower wasn't wheel in, had a lid to get into and a pull down shelf on the far end from the shower. So, things got wet. We really needed a shower chair. I didn't ask - but maybe I should have in retrospect. Also, the door in very heavy to get out of the room - it's a simple fix, to loosen the screw on the door. It was very hard to get myself, my mothers walker and my mother in the wheel chair out of the door.
My expectations for a "holiday in express" were low. Much to our delight, the rooms were quite large, updated and very comfortable. My mother and I were in an ADA room - enough room for a wheelchair. The towlels were fluffy and the linens good quality. The breakfast was generous in a dining room with tables and booths. They had a water bottle filler with filter. They had a very small gym but we didn't care. The location was great - you could walk to the town with all the restaurants and shops. AND....the staff were great. I was going between my mother's and my husband's rooms and frequently mixed up the keys. Several times the staff had to give me another card.

United StatesConstruction is a pain. The carpet on the balconies was a terrible choice - it was soaked the whole time I was there. Fire alarm went off on Tuesday morning and I never figured out why.
Location is perfect, I love being able to walk across the street to the park and restaurants. Jacquelin is my favorite housekeeper ever, very friendly person! I appreciate being able to grab sleepy time tea from downstairs at night - a lot of hotels close this area off after breakfast.
