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 reviewWe arrived earlier than expected. So we checked out the beautiful property, grabbed a couple of iced teas in the Ruby Bar (very cool!) and played a couple of games while waiting for our room. King Suite was lovely, as was the River View from our patio. Very clean, modern rooms with large showers and bath robes (always a nice plus). We hit the Ruby Bar later that night after our afternoon plans. Great atmosphere with live music that is not overpowering. I recommend the Old Fashioned. 😉

Verified reviewRooms are spacious and quiet. Bedding was clean, the windows were huge, the balcony was nice. Ac was amazingly cold!
Beds were kinda small for two people per bed. No bathtubs.

Verified reviewIt's a hidden gem. Already talking about returning next year
Parking should change because outside guests coming to bar use spots that should be for hotel guests only. I had to use a spot quite far from room when returning in evening

Verified reviewI like the nice view and the quietness
I read a review about bed bugs that made me feel a bit anxious. I checked the bed and I found a bug, but I believe it was just a tiny spider. Regardless because I found that spider I got paranoid.

Verified reviewThe property was gorgeous and atmosphere was fun. This is my new hotel of choice when visiting RoundRock.
No place to dispose of trash and glasses and plates piled up in the room and nobody would remove them.

Verified reviewThe Ruby is an excellent quaint hotel. Loved the view, the room, bar/food and everything was high quality. River view with cranes, ducks, bull frogs, ducks, bats, etc. on the river. Staff was very accommodating and enjoyed my overnight. Recommendation to anyone stating in RR, plus RR Donuts within walking distance.

Verified reviewKyle was an excellent greeter and proved helpful upon check in. With the cold rainy weather, really wished we would have more than 2 coffee pods. One cup of coffee for each of us hardly got us out the door. Loved the bottle of water and refill options!
