Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThere are no "normal" food options here, everything is "up scale" and required a reservation. Don't get me wrong, the food was great, but $36.00 for a fish dinner is a bit much even if it was Red Fish. But a Normal Chain restaurant would be nice too. Oh, and valet parking lost our car, but they took a night of parking off our bill for the trouble ( again, the manager was Fantastic helping us)
was across the street from the event we were attending

United StatesBuffet service, some staff during buffet service in the morning completely ignored us. The sausage links were iffy, and some flavor profiles of the jams and hot sauce can be different. The food is hot at the service buffet but once you sit down, it cools down very fast, so some options that are great hot, may not taste so good once cooled.
Great location to convention center, and good places to eat.

United KingdomThe bartenders could have been more welcoming. Still not received my invoice/folio.
Room was spacious and well-appointed. Not sure you would describe the view as stunning but it was interesting looking over the front of the building and towards the venue we were attending. As we could see the venue you could say the location was ideal for us. Valet-parking was ultra-convenient and not hideously priced when you're used to daily Disney and Universal self-parking. Even bar prices weren't terrible for a top quality hotel!

CanadaThe beds were a bit hard and the room gets really hot at night, no matter how low you turn the ac down, even my teenage boys complained.
We loved the location, we were there to attend a lightning game. The location was perfect for that. We also loved walking around and looking at all the boats. I also like to run, I felt safe by myself and enjoyed the scenery. There were many people running and a beautiful trail to follow

United StatesNot a big deal, but tried to order food after coming back from a comedy show down the road. The bartenders ignored me for 10 minutes until it was 11:01 and then said kitchen was closed. That was done on purpose and it’s terrible customer service.
Bed was comfortable, pillows were lacking. Not enough support.

United StatesI did stay in a pet friendly room however after hurricane Helene, I stayed at the Westin the room. There was much nicer than the Marriott. The room was pet friendly and did have carpet. The room at the Marriott was an old vinyl flooring felt very cold, especially for the price I paid through Booking.com .
I was there post hurricane Milton. The staff was extremely accommodating during a very stressful situation.
