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 StatesI can't think of anything that could be better. This is Washington's best kept secret in my opinion.
Breakfast at this hotel is an experience. You are seated by a friendly hostess. Immediately, a server is there to take your order. Our coffee was piping hot and very good. Each morning we ate breakfast in the hotel and enjoyed it. The eggs Benedict were perfect. The avocado toast was so rich and tasty. The staff at this hotel are so helpful and friendly. Each day, we went and toured and the doormen handed us small waters. They offered extra umbrellas. They were thoughtful and intent on meeting our needs. The rooms were serviced each day and we received fresh towels and two glass bottles of water. It was a nice touch. Every evening after dinner, we went to the bar. One night, we had desert and were not disappointed. The cheesecake was so creamy. I cannot say enough about the staff. From the front door to the reception desk to the bar even the housekeeper. We met her one morning as we were leaving our room. She asked how we liked the service and we told her it was wonderful. Her response was, "If you are happy then I am happy". We thanked her for the good job she was doing and left a nice tip the day we left. The next time we visit DC, we will stay at the Jefferson.

United StatesMy wife and I brought our little papillon dog to stay with us at The Jefferson for three nights, and we had an amazing stay! It was our first time staying here, and we will always choose to stay here whenever we are back in DC. Reasons to stay at The Jefferson: - They have the most professional and friendly staff that a hotel can offer to their guests. - It is a very short and easy walk to the White House, but just far enough away to where there aren’t any crowds of tourists passing by/lingering around the outside the front your hotel. - The lobby, common areas and our guest room were all spotlessly clean. - The quaint size of the hotel, combined with the timeless furniture/decor and original artwork hung on the walls, will make you feel as if you are guest staying in someone’s mansion . . . opposed to staying at a large chain hotel property. We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you for everything!

United StatesWe spent our wedding night at the Jefferson and it’s a memory that we’ll never forget. The Jefferson’s customer service is beyond compare: they allowed our “getaway driver” check in to our suite for us and drop off our luggage in advance so that there was no lugging bags around in our wedding attire at the end of the night; when we arrived they had chilled champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries awaiting us; in the morning staff greeted us by name and the room service breakfast was presented on a charming table. This night will be one we will never forget.

The most amazing staff EVA! They could not do enough for me, were so polite, went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable and called me by my name! This doesn’t happen in hotels!

PortugalService was far from excellent for this type of hotel: 1) one night we didn't have the evening turndown room service (and although this was reported nobody explained why and no correction was implemented); 2) food was good but breakfast service was suboptimal: we were put on a side room and the waiter only came rarely (had to stand up twice to call him); 3) more than 30 minutes to receive a request from room service (just simple ice)
