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 location was perfect! It was far enough away from anything congested but close enough to food, entertainment, and shopping! Also, the staff was welcoming without seeming like they had to force it. They all seemed genuinely happy to help. Just a great experience overall!
It's incredibly beautiful but I think because it's a historic building the rooms and pool were on the smaller side.

Verified reviewBeautiful view from the pool. Nice lobby and common area. Great location. Walking distance to great restaurants.
The pool was dirty. The tiles all were coated in a black oily film from sunscreen and skin oils. The room was small and noisy especially in the morning. There is no street parking overnight and most streets are only 1 hr parking during the day so you are forced to pay the 29$ a day parking fee.

Verified reviewA beautiful and stylish building that's conveniently located within Old Town Pasadena. The rooms are clean and fully featured, they have multiple levels of underground parking, and some cool amenities in the lobby such as a bar, grand piano, checkers boards, and more. Didn't use the pool or fitness center, which are not centrally located in the hotel (this could be an advantage or disadvantage based on your preferences), but they seemed nice.
The hallways are pretty narrow and the doorway insulation isn't the best, so any noise outside the room (e.g., screaming children) is pretty apparent. Not the biggest deal, but a little frustrating when you're trying to sleep in on vacation and people are being inexplicably loud in the hall.

Verified reviewThe hotel's proximity to CalTech (15 min) and public transportation is best for short-term CalTech visitors. The room is very clean and the WiFi is also great. I highly recommend this place.

Verified reviewIt’s a beautiful historic building with a unique lobby (not like a bland hotel chain decor) and the pool is gorgeous! Water temp was brisk, but lovely on a hot day!
We had a king room with an interesting open concept with glass door to toilet and shower. Sexy for couples, but maybe not everyone’s cup of tea. Wish room had a little coffee maker or free coffee in the lobby.

Verified reviewThe staff are excellent. The carpet in the room was very plush. Everything was very clean.
The style of the toilet area left no room for privacy. I thought I was back in the army.
