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'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 AmericaNow that I know the layout of the hotel it makes sense that our room wasn't in the historic part but in the annex. It would have been nice to have a breakfast included.
Location fantastical and the hotel was comfortable and clean. We stayed in a suite that had a living room and bedroom which was nice for our party of 3.

CanadaA bit grimy in the corners. Very loud with the train so near, though they thoughtfully provided earplugs.
Their facilities are great! We made good use of the game room and the gym. Good space in our suite. Lots of parking. They let us check in early, which was much appreciated.

United States of AmericaHeating system in the suite was only in the bedroom. Our son slept in the sofa bed in the living room. It was a cold night. We cranked the heat and kept the bedroom door open so he could get some heat. However, the bedroom got too warm. A portable space heater for the living area would easily solve this issue.
Excellent location in Bellingham. We strolled around town which is what we intended to do during our visit. Stores and shops were all walking-distance. Free parking in their lot was a big plus. Very comfortable and cozy lobby with a piano which our so enjoyed playing. Loved the contrast between the modern and historic elements throughout the hotel. Great kitchenette and ample room in the suite for the three of us. The staff was wonderful. They extended our check-out time the next day so we could grab breakfast in town.

United States of AmericaPhone in the room; heater in both rooms, A/C in the bedroom in the summer, Also, for elderly guests staying in this area, there is a short staircase that must be climbed - a possible problem.
On either side of the hotel, about a block in either direction, are active train tracks. Trains whistle at crossings and they whistled. I asked for a 'quiet' room but that's what I got with the explanation that no rooms were situated to not hear the trains. Fortunately, I had earplugs but still was awakened at night at least twice. Also, I had a two-room suite with the bedroom off the main room. There was a heater in the main room but no heater in the bedroom. Fortunately, they gave me blankets which I used and wasn't cold at night. The setup means that in the summer, when it is hot out, there is no cooling in the bedroom. The suggestion was to use a space heater and leave the door open between the bedroom and the main room. Not a good solution. For the price, it was not a good trade. However, there have been many famous people in the hotel (Eleanor Roosevelt, Shirley Temple, the crew of several films, etc.) are there are many artifacts of a bygone era. The hotel was built in 1929 with a lot of history visible mostly on the first two floors.

United States of AmericaOur room was spacious but a little sparse and utilitarian feeling. Not the cosiest. The bathroom was super small and no tub.
Loved the location. Nice bar in the hotel. Rooms were comfortable. Windows opened for fresh air which was really nice. Really liked having a kitchen. We also really enjoyed the movie theater room in the basement of the hotel. Parking was easy. But it sounds like in busier seasons parking lot can get full.

United States of AmericaThe water kettle in my room wouldn't heat so I missed my early morning coffee. There was mold in the grout lines of the shower, especially on the wall near the soap/shampoo dispenser so very visible and offputting while trying to get clean. Made me wonder if there were other areas that weren't as clean as expected.
Location was great, staff very helpful and made great recommendations on local restaurants.
