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 reviewThe staff at the front desk were all excellent, the lobby and common area are nice and updated but that unfortunately didn’t extend to the rooms.
The bathroom had a strange smell and the toilet hadn’t been properly cleaned prior to our check-in as there were visible skid marks from a previous stay. Our room was relatively nice compared to family members who stayed in other rooms under different reservations, one complained of stained yellow sheets in their room and another found a dead cockroach in theirs. The complimentary breakfast was advertised until 9:30am, we went downstairs at 8:00am and half of the offerings were completely finished and were never replenished.

Verified reviewThe staff was friendly and professional. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. The bed was clean and comfortable.
The lobby area was not very clean. The lounge chairs and sofas in the lobby area were dirty and stained. The bathroom was not cleaned, and there was no hand soap provided in the bathroom. I wanted to use the pull out couch and there were no linens provided. I had to call the front desk and ask for linens. It was certainly not worth the $335.00 per/night rate they charged me for my stay.

Had to request for fresh bedsheet & spread it before we could sleep beause we all started sneezing & coughing as soon as hit the bed. We were wondering if the room was clean. Window, you don't want to roll the blind up. So disgusting! Don't waste your money!

Verified reviewClean rooms. Friendly staff. Having a shower instead of a tub was nice.
There was a room next to me that said staff only. I was awoke at 1:30am by a loud tv from that room that went on for over an hour. I called the front desk three times with no answer.

Verified reviewI like the location. The clerk who checked me in, a young man was very nice,welcoming, sweet.
Honestly I think the rooms should be cleaner. The a c on off button was broken, the bathroom sink drain wasn't working, had to properly it open . You can see dust on the surfaces of desk and it doesn't seem things are truly cleaned and disinfected. The women manager I checked out with was cold,unfriendly,no smile.. She's in the hospitality business?? I think she's in the wrong job

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very nice. The staff was friendly.
The ice machines didn't work. Our fridge was leaking. The sink in the kitchen area didn't work. There were remnants of a previous occupant left in the room which indicated to me that they did not take the time to do a thorough cleaning of the room.

The bathroom shower and toilet could use bleach. There is a ton of mold growing in the shower and the toilet could use some scrubbing
