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 room smelled terrible. There was an old coffee pot in the room on the floor with no coffee. Advertised free breakfast, but nothing available, or provided. Lucky we brought soda and chips. The pillows were hard on the bed, difficult to sleep. Just one bath towel and no washcloths. The floors outside made of concrete were buckled on each level... like they could collapse at any moment. Right by the freeway, noisy locale.
It was a cheap option for holiday weekend. A bed and shower for the night and tv worked too.

United StatesThis particular Howard Johnson was very disappointing compared to other Howard Johnson we have stayed at in the past. Room was outdated with some cracks in flooring, bite marks/pen marks to cushioned headboard, bite marks to tv remote control, television and hair dryer did not work, no iron board.
Other than location close to an event we participated during the weekend….nothing

United StatesFrom the time we arrived we were told there was no breakfast only coffee in the room. They did not give us the rooms next to each other as we requested. There were roaches under the beds. The bathroom was horrible, bathroom faucet was hard to use, so old and rusty. The iron didn't work, so we had to borrow one from another room. To noisy at night.
Nothing.

United StatesThe upkeep to the property needs to be improved dramatically. The hotel stated that it was non-smoking but there were cigarette burns on the table the shower curtain and in the bathroom. Housekeeping did not come to change the two small trash cans until Sunday which would have been my third day. The TV went out on Sunday night all I got was sound no picture. The elevator was super slow and it wouldn't move twice when I tried to use it and I was on the fourth floor. The breakfast that was quoted in my price was not provided the whole time I was there and I was not informed of that until I checked in and questioned it and was told that I was provided with a coffee maker in my room which I thought was listed already in my amenities. Coffee maker did not work. Most of the metal surfaces in the restroom had rust on it even the toilet paper rolling thing.
I like that the room is spacious. The design in the room was cute.

United StatesThe room was very old like the 70's. It needs a facelift. The toilet top did not match the tank. The place needs a total facelift.
The bed was comfortable, but it moved if you leaned on it.

United StatesHotel didn't realize I did pre- check in. They even called me at almost 1am to ask if I still needed the room, after I checked in. Room smelled like smoke and could use a major update. Furniture was old with cigarette burns, headboard was scratched, stuffing exposed. Light over the mirror didn't work. Rusted sprinklers and metal hangers. Housekeeping ignored the do not disturb sign on the door. Microwave, coffee maker and clock not plugged in. Had to move the microwave to get to a plug.
Pre-check in was quick and easy. Every staff member I encountered was super friendly. There was a decent sized "mini" fridge and a microwave in the room.
