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 AmericaParking garage height so low we almost hit our roof. The guys at the front desk in casual clothes, baseball caps, T-shirts, super low energy and u could tell they hated their jobs. Room smelled. Could not open the window, had to force it open. No bath towels. Picked up the phone to call the front desk, phone didn’t work. Went downstairs to the front desk and asked for towels since we wanted to use the hot tub, no towels available. We tell them we need 2 towels so we can use the hot tub, they manage to find 2. They say they are short staffed. We go out to the hot tub and can’t go out to it bc you need a code, back to the front desk, get the code, go out and step into a cold water hot tub. We get out and go back to the desk to ask where the hot tub with hot water is. They laugh and tell us that the heater is broken. We are thoroughly disgusted at this point. After we came back from dinner there were no parking spots and we had to park on the street. Breakfast stopped promptly at 9:30 and we still needed a few items, however the staff was accommodating.
Room size was good. Location was decent. Breakfast was ok.

United States of Americasome of the renovations weren’t touched up yet, lots of odds and ends that need to be addressed but nothing major. A map showing where the amenities are would be helpful, like ice, hot tub etc.
the location was easy to find and on two main streets. the parking garage is a nice positive. The whole building was freshly remodeled so everything was clean of course. Breakfast and espresso definitely added value to the trip.

United States of AmericaThe location area seems to have gone down hill since our last stay a few years ago. Although the room looked clean, when walking barefoot on the floor and then stepping into the shower we realized the bottoms of our feet had gotten filthy…yuck:(
The breakfast options were better than most continentals.

United States of AmericaThey lost my reservation and got overbooked and no room was available . I waited almost an hour while they scratched their head and tried to find me a room. Bathroom was awful, no hot water and door to shower. Bed was lumpy no support.
Breakfast was okay but too many people so was long line to get food in morning and place was under construction.

United States of AmericaParking garage was tight if the hotel was booked not enough spaces, leaking water pipe in the garage ,there wasn't staff there , trying to find the entry was impossible if it wasn't for the homeless person to direct me. One towel in the room, no phone to call down , no TV instructions, bathroom was dirty, breakfast was horrible, room size was nice, mini refrigerator didn't really work. At check out , person serving breakfast, was also handling desk and couldn't answer questions, she did her best considering she was the only staff person on all morning. It was not worth the money. Upstairs noise level kept me awake with thier kids running around until 3 am .

United States of AmericaWe booked a room with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed for 5 people. They gave us a room with only two beds and said they’d bring a rollaway bed later on and never did. And then when we called for one they said they were out.
Spacious, in a good area.
