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.).

United StatesThe only thing was they put us in what they referred to as a new room. No problem but you kind of need to pack a lunch to get there. Up to floor 4 change elevators and the access your floor but the new elevator was a walk from the original elevator. It was a Tuesday night had to believe they didn’t have a more accessible room.
I love the staff very accommodating

United StatesThey have three elevators, but only one goes to the lobby, so you had to wait awhile given how many rooms and floor there were. While stairs would be fine, staying at the upper level and, arriving and leaving with luggage and pet, you need the elevator.
Really good location for checking out downtown, with lots of eateries and the river park nearby. Free parking in their lot. Relatively late checkout (12 PM). Friendly staff. Extra level of security in that you needed your room key to take the elevator to your floor.

United StatesEverything in the hotel is a little bit too used, although clean, no any bad smell. Toilette didn't work well, clogged in the morning, I need to ask for a plumber (in fairness, the front desk immediately reacted, the plumber came in 5 minutes, all the process took less than 15 min). Breakfast was great and hot BUT it should be included, according to Booking.com reservation, and we were asked to pay additionally for it.
Spacy suit, very well equiped, perfect for 3 adults and 3yo child. Comfortable sofa with all the additional bedding and warm blanket in the living room and king-size bed, whirpool and shower in the bedroom. Fireplace for both rooms. Mini-kitchen is enough for short journey with a kid. Pool is really a great fun after skiing day.

United StatesThe view from our window was toward the back of the hotel toward the old mall. Wausau is so beautiful it would have been nice to have had a better view of the city.
Our stay was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good but was not hot. I realize it's difficult to keep eggs and pancakes hot in the food warmers. The Char restaurant is beautifully appointed.

United StatesI was disappointed that you did not offer daily room cleaning or at least every other day. I tried to schedule it when I needed it and I was put off for one more day. The bathroom area really needs a little clean up daily as well as the kitchen (we used dishes and glasses). This is the reason I only have the hotel an 8. The overall hotel is a bit tired. Could use a facelift and updates. Still feels like the 1990s or early 2000s.
The location was very convenient. Char is a really fantastic restaurant. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and it was great. Anaka out dinner server was exceptional. Jerry and Brigette helped us one evening with cocktails and appetizers and there were very good too. I did not get the lady’s name who worked breakfast Monday thru Friday. She was fantastic. She gave us a great start to our days while we were there.
