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 Wi-Fi service was unreliable, causing frequent disconnections for all our devices, including the hotel's TV. Additionally, breakfast service was significantly impacted by overcrowding, as there were not enough seats to accommodate guests, forcing some to stand in the lobby while eating.
Easy check-in and out. The process was quick and seamless, handled by a friendly and efficient front desk staff. Plenty of outlets in the room. It was very convenient to have so many accessible charging points for all our devices, which is a great modern touch. The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained.

United KingdomWe arrived in the evening after a long flight from the UK and the lady who checked us in was rude and unhelpful. We avoided the staff after speaking to her. It was over priced.
Assembly row is a great place to stay with lots of great shops and places to eat. It's very easy to get into the centre of Boston by the subway. Location is fantastic.

PortugalLa Quinta asked me the day before to confirm my reservation. The link sent me to an upgrade page, which I mistakenly clicked on. The "upgrade" was from two beds to a suite with one bed and a pull-out. The staff tried to put us in a two-bed room, but there were none available. They did move us to a bigger suite. The extra space was appreciated. However, the pull-outs in both rooms were totally uncomfortable (basically cots) and the bed was also old and lumpy. As mentioned before, the carpets need a good washing. The price was high given the accommodations, but that is Boston, I guess.
Staff was very accommodating. Rooms were clean (though the carpets are a bit old and musty). AC worked well. Location was good (walk to many shops, mass transport). Breakfast adequate. In-house laundry was helpful.

United StatesNothing the hotel could do, but the neighborhood was not very nice as far as lots of graffiti, trash etc. There wasn't much close by to to eat and since I didn't have a car, had to walk over to the shopping center. My only option was Trader Joe's. Again, not much the hotel can do about that. I realize this is a big city, and these things happen. The only thing that bothered me is that the shuttle drivers did not help with my luggage at all. I have a shoulder injury and it was hard for me to lift it onto the bus. I almost fell the first time I got in. The driver never left his seat. On my return to the airport the driver was late. Luckily I allowed for 2 hours to get there and get checked in. The person at the front desk, I think his name was Eddie was super nice!
. The room was very nice and clean. Quiet

United StatesThe lobby is crowded. One elevator was not working. The elevator doors and carpets do not seem clean. The 2nd floor did not have a pleasant smell. The whole place needs modernized.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location was a couple of miles to my work location. The parking is the best. My room was very clean.

United StatesAlthough I liked the neighborhood but you need to consider that from hotel to metro station is at least a 10-minute-walk. The hotel itself is old and it definitely needs a renovation. Also, the area the hotel is located in is far from the downtown and each time you need to take metro to go to touristic areas, which takes about 20 minutes.
Staff were really nice and the hotel was in a nice neighborhood.
