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 StatesThe gentlemen who checked me in didn't tell me, even though I asked about the total being charged on my card, that there was a 75.00 holding fee, which was fine, but I specifically asked if the total being charged was a certain amount & he said yes then I got charged the 75 plus a 2.49 fee for something or other. Also an employee dellivering food to a room near mine opened our door & walked in without even knocking.
The view was absolutely amazing, wish it hadn't been so cloudy.The restaurants in the lobby were nice, my daughter was very happy about the Starbucks. I didn't use the pool, but did go check it out, it was a good size.

United KingdomWe stay one night on 3rd August 2024, now one month later, we are still waiting for the refund of our $75 deposit. I sent messages to the hotel, but got an out of office reply, saying that "Emily wouldn't be back until 3rd Sept (tomorrow)". I also contacted Booking.com about it, no reply from there at all. Someone from Booking.com approving this review please help! (this is my last resort as I won't have put it here if it has been resolved)
The hotel has good facilities, including a swimming pool and gym. We chose and were given a high floor and quiet room. The room was spacious and clean, the two double beds were big and comfortable. Nice view outside the window. Reception staffs were friendly and helpful.

United StatesReservation was for a room with 2 queen beds....got there to be given one king bed. Luckily my son is young enough we could all 3 sleep in a king bed. They did give a roll away bed but it would not have fit anywhere in the room
The location was great to walk to the Transit to get anywhere we wanted to go. Staff was friendly, clean room, and we really had no issues. Only complaint was from the Art Bar restaurant. Took 45 mins for breakfast food to arrive. First it was waiting on bacon, then it was the fact they made choc chip pancakes instead of regular. When food came, my sons pancakes were so hard you couldn't cut them. The kids pancakes were clearly frozen pancakes compared to how fluffy and delish mine were. There was also no bacon. Waitress quickly corrected the issue with fresh pancakes and bacon. The person plating the food shouldn't never plated those pancakes. Very pleased how the error was corrected so chalk that up to a slight miss in the kitchen. Other than that, great hotel. I would stay there again.

United StatesThe restaurant downstairs was not family friendly. Inappropriate music and staff cursing was not appreciated. Also, there was a $42 PER DAY parking fee for their own garage, and a $22 fee PER DAY for a "destination fee." This was an additional $64 daily we were not expecting.
We had a beautiful view of the river. The hotel was located in a nice part of town.

CanadaWe booked this particular hotel because the pool looked outdoor yet covered in case of rain or wind. Well the pool definitely needs updating since both of my kids injured themselves on the ground. My daughter had a bad cut on her toe and was bleeding, my other kid fell and hurt her ankle because the ground surrounding the pool is not level and you could see the gaps between the high/low tile.
Very well located and easy to get to. Walking distance to science museum and duck tours, and plenty of coffee shops. Staff is EXCELLENT from front desk to room service. The river views room we got is phenomenal.
