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.).

SingaporeThere was no help with our luggage during check-in. There was one employee standing inside the hotel (car valet) and he stood there and watched my child and I struggle with our heavy luggage and opening the door. This is not acceptable service for a luxury hotel. Also this hotel caters more to the older crowd.
The location is unbeatable and the beds were ultra comfortable—we had the best sleep during our multi-city trip around the South! The cookies provided during turndown were absolutely delicious and a highlight to the end of the day. Housekeeping staff were very friendly and warm!

Great location and roof top. Excellent bedding and luxury spacious bathroom. Coffee and bakery and fruit items on every floor. Unfortunately coffee was quite weak.

United StatesService at the pool area was not up to expectations. Waitress spent more time putting her hair up and down than waiting on customers. My wife and I waited for 20-25 minutes for her to come ask us for a menu or if we needed anything. My wife finally went to the bar to get a menu. Even after getting the menu, we sat there waiting for another 20-25 minutes for her to make a round, with no luck, so we left and went out for dinner.

United StatesI would have liked more places to sit in the lobby.
Loved the rooftop pool and bar area- it had a great breeze that helped cool us off in the summer heat. Hotel guests were also allowed to go up to the rooftop without charge to watch the fireworks for Fourth of July, with music and bar service. It was great fun! Also the coffee service being available on every floor was very handy- and it was great coffee!

It was so perfect. Great location, we walked everywhere. Room was so nice and had everything we needed. Some other reviews complained about no fridge but we had one. Turn down service each night was great. Given bottles of water twice a day. Pastries, tea, coffee, juice and fruit were set out in the hallway every morning and that was so nice. The receptionist, Theresan, was excellent. She was so kind and accommodating and gave wonderful recommendations. The pool and rooftop bar were great too!!

United StatesWhile the bed was plush and comfortable, my husband and I both thought the pillows were too soft. Had a hard time sleeping because of having to reposition the pillow several times during the night. Wished there was a refrigerator in the room. Charleston was scorching every day, and it would have been nice to have the ability to have cold drinks and snacks, such as yogurt in our room. We had warm bottles of water provided and had use of ice on the floor, but it would have been nice to have other options. This Item alone would have us change our hotel choice next time we're in the area.
All the staff from valet, desk, concierge and housekeeping were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Hotel and our room was beautiful, with a view over the City Market. Had housekeeping and turn down service everyday. Enjoyed the coffee offered on the floor with pastries and fruit in the morning and cookies in the afternoon.
