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 AmericaBigger pool might be nice, and maybe a coffee shop inside. But really the hotel is super as is.
Location was perfect. The hotel was beautiful and the room was very comfortable. The pool was great too and it was nice to escape the 95 degree weather. We appreciated the breakfast right in our own floor every day. Staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the best hotel stays we've ever had!

United States of AmericaWe loved this hotel! It had an excellent location. We were able to walk everywhere very easily! It was also not a far drive to Sullivans Island, where we went to each day. I loved seeing the cruise ship from our room. We loved the pool~it was very clean and refreshing. We had drinks at the rooftop bar and enjoyed the great view. The bed was exceptionally comfy, the room was big and beautifully decorated (French decor), the bathroom towels were wonderful, the pillows were great, the room was very clean, the breakfast was very conveniently placed on each floor, and we appreciated the cookies~ they were a yummy treat in the afternoon. The staff was also very friendly. We will stay here again! I thought the price was appropriate.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast included was located in the on a table in the hallway which was convenient but only included fruit and pastries coffee and juice. You will need to go out to breakfast if you’re really hungry.
The hotel was in a great location ..walking distance to the market place and just about everything. Once we parked to car in valet it stayed there til we checked out. Beautiful city for tours. Beds were very comfortable and they have complimentary robes to wear. The rooftop pool and bar/restaurant area is fabulous. It’s a bit expensive but worth the view and ambiance.

United States of America- We avoided the designer Bulgari toiletries. They were so powerfully scented that my husband & I purchased our own soap during our stay. - The temperatures were high 90s, so we used the beautiful roof top pool in the afternoon. There were no umbrellas to shade the lounge chairs, only the high top tables. Many guests commented that they would have stayed longer and had drinks/eaten if some shade were provided at the lounge chairs. Bring your coverups and park your sandles immediately beside the pool to avoid burning your feet!
Great location! We loved the friendly service & attention to detail: At check-in we were asked what time we prefered for morning cleaning and turn down (nice touch). Nice size accomodations were beautiful and comfortable (plenty of lighting, drawers, outlets, hooks, towels, robes, towels (refreshed 2x per day), cosmetic mirror, drying cord in shower for swimsuits. Each floor had morning pastries, coffee/tea, OJ, fruit and afternoon fruit, cookies and tea/coffee. The pool on the roof is a super relaxing break with fountain, comfortable seating for lounging and bar/ food service that is top notch.
