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.).

IndiaAttention to maintenance - a tap was not working properly, room-key batteries failed twice in a short stay, airconditioner control did not work. Not a single bottle of water is complimentary.Not even one litre of water, which I consumed unknowingly!
Old-world charm. Good location, close to train and bus stops/ station and shops like Trader Joe's & Whole Foods Market. Big, well-appointed room, although without any view.

United StatesThe AC vent above the work table in my room was dripping one evening, possibly due to condensation. This was not a huge issue, but it did make me nervous to leave my laptop on the desk.
Melrose Georgetown is an attractive hotel. The restaurant and the bar (which are separate from one another) are located on the main floor. There are several very nice lounging areas with comfortable seating and tables to have a drink and a chat with friends. There is a large gym downstairs with varied equipment, however I never actually used the gym due to a tight schedule. The rooms are comfortable and include chairs and a table, as well as a work area.

United Kingdomnothing really
The staff are very helpful and kind, there was slight issue with the TV connection (main connection fault) the staff has resolved it by moving us to a different room. The location is good, rooms are big,clean and comfortable. Love their molton brown toiletries. Near to metro station and bus stop next to the hotel. The distance stated of places of interest shown on the app are quite accurate. I will definitely stay here again. 😊

United KingdomAlthough we could have requested more cleaning services (change of towels), their standard service was not a daily one. For the price/class of hotel I would have expected daily cleaning.
Free coffee in the reception area was great. The staff were lovely.

United StatesI understand these older hotels are difficult to keep cool, particularly when it is so hot and humid outside, but a more powerful air conditioner would have been nice. Would recommend every room come with a box fan.
Friendly staff, spacious lobby, convenient fitness center (with a particularly nice water refill station), nice room accommodations, and really enjoyed the complementary coffee in the mornings

NetherlandsCleaning service is provided once every three days if not explicitly requested. Ok, one can live with it but I am a bit afraid that this looks like the luggage on flights situation. And it's not that it's a cheap hotel.
Great amenities, great location! Incredibly polite and helpful staff.

United StatesLobby is very modern and chic, but the room itself gets a mixed review. Our 6th Floor Suite was spacious, but the toilet had some weird rust stain in the toilet bowl, and the tub looked a bit stained. The couch and pillows were dusty. The carpet looked really outdated. And one TV was a Smart TV while the other one was standard Dish? While this hotel is not on the 'Haunted DC Hotels' list, I had an uncomfortable sense of being "watched" while in the room and the hair on the back of my neck went up a lot. Also, a loud clanging noise woke me up at like 3 am. but no voices or other noise. There's no record of the Melrose being haunted, so these weird occurrences were surprising. Overall, it was a lovely stay, but if the hotel is a 4, rooms were more like 3-3.5.
Staff - Above & Beyond Amenities - Above & Beyond (infused water, coffee, anniversary extras, lots of bathroom extras) Lobby & Outdoor Patio - Lovely Room Service breakfast was excellent! 6th Floor views were amazing! Excellent location!
