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 KingdomThe location is excellent. It is on Farragut Square near the White House. Farragut West Metro station is right next door. This has metro connections to Dulles airport (silver line 45mins). Going East there are three lines connecting to Smithsonian station for most of the museums on The Mall and Federal Center station for the museums and the Botanical Garden at the Eastern end of the Mall (10 to 15mins). For Arlington Cemetery use the blue line (15 minutes) going West. If you want to go to Union Station walk three minutes across the square to Farragut North and take the red line (15 mins). This line also takes you to the National Portrait Gallery and the underrated National Building Museum (both at Gallery Pl - Chinatown station). The hotel offers a 10% discount for breakfast at Pain Quotidien which is just across the street. It’s okay but we also went around the corner (turn right and walk for two minutes without crossing the road) to Tatte. You don’t get waiter service but the food is better, the coffee hotter and the prices lower. The staff at the hotel are excellent. The room is a good size with good storage, an excellent shower and a comfortable bed.

United States of AmericaSince there is no food service in the hotel (and I understand why, no complaints here - places to eat are everywhere!), the ice machine and a wider range of vending machines should be in the club living room instead of the exercise room, even if you have to put the ice machine in its own area to absorb the heat it expels from operating. The exercise room area is tiny and not a great place to be if the one elevator that can get you there should happen to stop working.
As a single individual, the location was excellent - you can walk to a lot of places. Staff was excellent, always willing to assist. Bed was comfy. Hallways were quiet. I was able to check-in super, super early. My room (Queen with pullout sofa) was in great condition - everything clean and functioned as was supposed to. Wifi was excellent for my all day online live video training on one of my days there. I ended up using a taxi twice to reach destinations due to my schedule and lack of subway or bus knowledge and then walked back to the hotel. But there's a bus stop in front of the hotel and a metro station entrance attached to the exterior of hotel so going anywhere should be relatively simple for those who are more familiar and/or can plan ahead. All in all, a good experience and I'd definitely stay again.

United States of AmericaMy stay at this hotel was okay, but there were a few disappointments. First off, the room size was very small for the price we paid. We expected more space, especially in such a central location. The walls were not very soundproof either. While we didn’t have particularly loud neighbors, we could still hear conversations and footsteps from the hallway and adjacent rooms. Additionally, the rooms lacked some basic amenities. There was no safe, which was inconvenient since we had valuables we would have preferred to lock up. The absence of a microwave also limited our options for simple meals or reheating leftovers.
The location is undoubtedly the hotel's biggest advantage—being just a short walk from the White House, National Mall, and several museums made sightseeing very convenient. As for the room itself, it was clean but nothing special. The bed was comfortable enough. The bathroom was small but functional, with basic amenities. Housekeeping did a good job keeping things tidy during my stay.
