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 IDEAL for our one night/two day exploration of Nashville. Walkable to so, so much, including the live music bars along Broadway, without being in the rush and noise of downtown. Very close to the farmer's market and the state museum and, best of all, Monell's family style home cooking. I called ahead and talked to Lucy and she was so helpful and let us park there before check in so we could get right to exploring the city since we had a limited time there. She prepared a wonderful breakfast for us--quiche, yogurt parfaits, muffins and sweat breads, fruit, coffee and juice--and gave us tons of tips and suggestions for places to visit in the city. Achmed graciously stayed up for our late check in and helped carry our things in from our car. The inn really has a homey, family feel, and the beautiful sun room is a lovely place to sit and have breakfast. I much prefer this setting to a downtown hotel and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Hmmmmm . . . really cannot think of a thing that would have improved our experience.

Verified reviewThe Germantown Inn is in a great location - a fun suburb with a lot to see and very close to all the attractions. The staff was excellent and the breakfast was a very nice addition. The rooms were decent, nothing special, but nice and clean. Parking was also easy (unlike the expensive downtown fee's).
I only had one issue with the hotel. The downstairs rooms are in an echo chamber. All three rooms downstairs echo with any conversation in the lobby, the breakfast area, or the hallway. You can hear every word in a normal conversation and it is loud. This can be problematic if you want some quite outside of the 10:00 pm to 7:00 am quiet hours (like a nap in the day or if you want to sleep in). I chose to wear ear plugs, but even those were only semi efficient. I have never had this issue in other hotels. It is obviously due to the proximity of those rooms to the common areas, the hardwood floors, and maybe the doers aren't sealed tightly or soundproof. The upstairs rooms don't have this issue. I would come back, but I'd insist on staying upstairs.

The only small complaint was the noise of the air conditioner.
