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 reviewLocation. Location. Location - staff’s attention to detail and overall service exceeded expectations. Room spacious and very comfortable. Early check in as well as late check out was granted (low season) weekend but still, this is a massive perk! The area is simply the best of DC with the coffee shops and Farmers market on Sundays… the hotel bar is also a must try! I’ll be back to this property when visiting DC next.

Verified reviewMy room and location were great. I did not have breakfast.
I have stayed at the. Dupont Circle Hotel many times. The one thing that I do not like at all is the new bathroom doors that were put in a few years back. They do not close all the way. And I don't like hearing others use the bathroom. The bathroom door has about a ½ to 1 inch gap. Please return to bathroom doors that close and provide privacy. Also there should be an ice machine on the floor.
Dear Valued Guest , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at The Dupont Circle. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your room, our location, and that you've chosen to return to stay with us many times — that truly means a great deal to us. We also appreciate you pointing out areas for improvement. We've noted your comments regarding the bathroom door design and understand your concerns about privacy. Your feedback has been shared with our management team as we continuously review our room features and guest comfort. Regarding the availability of ice machines, we’re currently exploring options to better accommodate this need and are grateful for your input. We look forward to welcoming you back again and hope to make your next stay even more enjoyable.

Room was very far from elevator bank, and I have received a very distant room each time I stayed here. I never ask for a quiet room, but have never had any trouble with noise in this hotel.
Dear Michelle, Thank you for your continued loyalty and for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you find our hotel comfortable and that our location works perfectly for your needs. It’s also great to know that noise has never been an issue during your stays. We do apologize, however, for the inconvenience caused by the distance of your room from the elevator. We understand how this can impact the overall comfort of your stay. While room assignments are based on availability at the time of arrival, we would be happy to make a note in your profile to prioritize a room closer to the elevator for future visits. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Warm regards, Ana Pavlovic Front Office Intern
