Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe staff upon arrival could have been friendlier- they mentioned how badly they wanted to go home and were a bit short with customers. We had zero bath towels in our room. The breakfast offerings were just ok.
The hotel was nicely located near USC. The room was very spacious and offered many nice features. The morning staff was very friendly and helpful.

Sofa bed had no blanket or sheets even though we were booked for three people, had to request at front desk. Only one roll of toilet paper so had to request that also. Set up was very odd. We didn’t need kitchen howverr nothing was provided other than a few butter knives

United States of AmericaThe house keeping was atrocious in responding to any needs. We started with a room that wasn’t cleaned well, the bathroom wasn’t supplied with toiletries and when we finally received towel they did not give us enough for the number of guests in our room. The next day we had to ask at least 5 times throughout the whole day for towels. The front desk staff was always friendly, accommodating and as helpful as possible (that’s who personally brought us towels one day after several requests and a full day of waiting). The third day we had to take pool towels so we could shower. Our family wanted to use the ping pong table so the initial front desk employee told my husband to go buy paddles and a ball because he couldn’t locate them. But once a more experienced front desk employee was asked, she made sure she located and supplied them about an hour later. Our kids had a great time with that the last two days.

United States of AmericaLack of attention to detail- low water pressure in shower making it difficult to get shampoo out of hair, almost no food and no coffee in middle of provided breakfast time, initially didn’t give us enough towels for # of registered guests, kitchenette with no forks and only one spoon, no creamer for in-room coffee even when requested. Not horrible things, but for $550 for 2 nights, they didn’t earn it.
Great location, clean, pleasant staff.
