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 StatesRoom had side door (closed) with noise coming through from hallway to other rooms at evening/morning. Also was situated close to elevator and because doors were old/light seeping through, one could here the "ping" from elevator every time it stopped/was called. Showerhead is very low, have to bend knees while showering head if tall person. When checking in, received a smaller bed/room than requested, but that was quickly corrected when complained.
Beautiful surroundings, historic, nice old rooms, very sophisticated athmosphere. Shuttle to town a big plus for dining and exlploring the surroundings. When checking in, received a smaller bed/room than requested, but that was quickly corrected when complained.

United StatesWe arrived at 3pm on a very hot afternoon and the hotel bar was not open yet, so we had to walk to the golf club (5 min) to get a cold drink. When we returned to the hotel after the show at SPAC the hotel bar had literally just closed (10pm), would not serve us, no exceptions, would not sell us a bottle of beer to drink in the spacious lobby. Next time we will bring our own cooler with drinks.
The location to SPAC made it all worthwhile.

GermanyThe rooms, especially the bathroom, need a little overhaul. People over 5'5" don't fit in the shower and the sink is pretty slow.
It's a nice "old school" hotel in a very nice area. Food was really good and taking a walk or running around here is amazing!

United StatesOur room door was very hard to open, it was sticking to the door frame. It was very loud when opening and closing shut. The bathroom did not have an exhaust fan to remove smells and humidity after showering. Also, the shower head sprayer is too low and you have to bend your body unnaturally to get your head wet. We are barely 6 foot tall. How about installing hand held shower heads? The windows are so old that we felt the glass would fall out of them when opening and closing for ventilation. The air conditioning unit was too too loud- not quiet at all and prevented us from getting deep sleeps.
Clean , neat, upscale. Professional staff. Shuttle drivers amazing, shuttle service amazing, front desk staff amazing, coffee in lobby amazing. Beautiful location near the park and the Victoria pool.

United StatesThe property is tired and premium priced due to location. Carpeting in the guest hallways is old and worn, bathroom was old and cheaply updated, the A/C in the room was marginal and the one working elevator was pretty slow. All to be expected in an old building but the promise of the luxury experience this is supposed to be goes unfulfilled.
Hotel staff is very nice and genuinely appear to care about what they do.

United StatesUnfortunately, the guest rooms are not up to the standard of the property and give the hotel a “split personality.” The drab generic furniture in the rooms is far from historic or elegant, and the bathroom was unacceptable. The card in the bathroom stated that they kept the “historic nature of the bathrooms” but that’s no excuse for a dirty and poorly finished room.
The hotel is in a nice location if you want to visit the events at SPAC. It’s within walking distance. If you want to go to downtown Saratoga, the hotel provides a shuttle bus that will pick you up on demand for a ride back. Great to have dinner downtown and be picked up after. The driver, Pete, was also the person who welcomed us to the hotel. He is a gem!! Public areas of this historic hotel are wonderful.

United StatesThe rates should have been half since the elevators were both down. The two main elevators are under construction. The only other elevator was the manned service elevator that took extremely long to get up and down from the third floor. We mostly used the stairs. Poor management and poor customer treatment with having the elevators modernized over the busiest part of the year. It was very disappointing.
The hotel is clean and beautiful. It’s a real throw back in time. I would absolutely love to return.

United StatesThe location of the property is wonderful as it is very close to SPAC, the golf course, etc. The hotel itself is dated and needs some work. There was visible water damage in the ceiling of our room and in the restaurant. No vent in the bathroom made everything very sticky and kind of smelled like mildew. You have to park about 100 yards away from the front door so you need to drop your bags off first and as I watched others there was very sporadic staff around to help. My biggest gripe, however, was the bar/restaurant. We were treated very rudely by a staff person named Therese who I’m assuming was the manager. Last year she made our party move tables twice stating that they needed to keep the tables open for “other guests” even though we were paying $500/night to stay there. She also started closing the bar at 10:45 when dozens of people were just getting back from the show. I watched as she literally closed the door in peoples faces including mine when I got up to use the bathroom and she told me if I left I wouldn’t be allowed back. I’m assuming this had to be one of if not their busiest nights of the year, made no sense and I told her so. Overall, dated hotel that is able to overcharge based on its great location.

United StatesThe main elevator has been out for a while and the staff is happy to help use the vintage service elevator, but I am not used to keeping a bunch of small bills on hand to tip for every elevator ride. It’s awkward.
The location is unbeatable and I love the historical charm of the hotel.
