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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesWhen you only offer bagels and cereal, breakfast is NOT included. I choose this hotel because of the value ( it's a Howard Johnson my room expectations were not that high) and it said breakfast included in the posting. Extreme disappointment
Convenient location. Kitchy retro vibe

United StatesShared parking with restaurant so no spot near our room when we came back at the end of the day. Nice clean room, but average. A little overpriced. Could stay at the Hershey Lodge for just a little more.
Thick cushy towels. Loved the turquoise accent wall in the bedroom. Girl at check in was very nice. (No one there at check out so left key in basket.) Clean room.

United StatesThe door had to be fixed, twice! The key lock stopped working...he fixed it, ok. The next day, we left, came back and it was broken again! We were asked, if we were "slamming the door" as if, a broken key lock was our fault, and since we were NOT going back out and checking out the next morning, it was too late to have someone come fix it. Basically the last evening, we were unable to lock our door.
We enjoyed the peaceful, quiet surroundings. Even though there is a restaurant attached to the main building, it was never loud or too busy that it interfered with our stay. We did three nights for Hershey Park, which was a 10minute drive. The rooms were clean. Looks like photo a bit smaller than expected

United StatesWhen we arrived in our room our toilet was stopped up, would not flush well and water would rise. We had the office attendant gal come up to plunge it upon our arrival. It slowly went down. We only urinated in it and it still would not go down well and toilet paper remained in toilet. We called office attendant gal again, she came up with plunger and plunged several times & flushed, it very slowly went down - was obvious that a problem was there. She did not offer to give us another room, and we were in a hurry to go to our event at Giant Center. We had to rush to downstairs Restroom in morning to use the toilet in fear that if we used our room toilet too much it would flood the floor. Very inconvenient and frustrating. This was the only thing wrong with our room which is a shame since we were pleased with everything else.
Room was clean, fresh, and bed was incredibly comfortable.

United StatesWe booked a room for 1 night as we decided to drive early to Hershey for another hotel reservation the next morning. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 pm and checked out at 8:30a. Later in the day, I received a $15 charge on my credit card a couple of hours after I left. When I called to ask about the charge, I was told it was "stains" found on a towel that couldn't be removed after the wash. When I asked how they knew that towel belonged to me, the staff replied, " The housekeeper noted it." But then said all towels from several rooms get washed together, and they determine it was mine. It did not make any sense at all. Knowing the conversation was not going anywhere, I hung up. The staff at the hotel called back and apologized. There was confusion. It was a missing towel that was noted. We used 1 face towel and 2 large towels. It was a stay for 1 night, and we were all exhausted from a 4-hour drive. It is absolutely annoying that I am penalized for missing towels I did not take. I have no reason to take their towels as we are checking into another hotel right after checking out at 8:30a. After this experience, I am forever bringing my own towel to all my hotel stays.
