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 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 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.).

Close proximity to the venue we were going to. Very friendly staff at the front desk and free breakfast was great! Kitchen staff was also very nice and kept asking if everything was ok.

United StatesI didn’t like that there was no door where the sink was in our room. If you turned on the sink light, it would flood the darkened room with light. Also would have been great to have fresh fruit on the buffet.
It was close to the venue where we were going to see a show. The room was comfortable.

United StatesThe lady working the front desk during the day was a bit rude. Everything is rather dated and could use some TLC. The beds are really small and some new pillows would be great.
The free breakfast wasn't too bad, better than most. But this location is very dated, could use a good facelift. The last working the front desk at night was very nice. The rom was really quite, which was great because I've been to hotels where all you here is outside noises.

United StatesIf it wasn't raining our day of departure, we would have loved to have stayed the day and walk around town. However, it was too sloppy and wet. But, that is mother nature's fault ... not the hotels.
Staff was super friendly and eager to help in any way. Room was very clean. Location was a plus. We walked to the Kirby Center, restaurants, and downtown attractions. Parking was secure and convenient. Full breakfast was delicious.

United StatesThe common areas of the property could use a bit of a refresh. The breakfast room is through the bar area of the restaurant and a bit hidden. Not much in the way of healthy-eating choices. The few pieces of fresh fruit were old and wrinkled.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and there was plenty of restaurants/shopping in the area. Special recommendation for Thai Thai, a short walk from the hotel, and their amazing chicken satay. The portion was so large, it made a perfect meal for one.

United StatesMy husband and I came to hear a concert at the Kirby Center. It’s a quick walk across the street… talk about convenient!. We attend quite a few events at the Kirby Center and the Best Western Plus is always where we stay. I love this hotel. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, from the moment the front desk reception greets, until the cheery, “thanks for staying with us” when we leave. The complimentary breakfast is nothing short of spectacular! It always amazes me of the selection that is offered … hot, cold, light and comforting food selections. One can’t possibly NOT find a delicious choice to start the day. The wait staff is wonderful!. We’ve eaten dinner, at different times, in the hotel’s restaurant. The meals have all been first class and delicious! The hotel has an old elegance that is so unlike the generic cold and universal look of newer hotels. Our room was very clean, and the bathroom was spotless. I look forward to the next event at the Kirby, or just a trip to Wilkes Barre, for the opportunity to stay at the Best Western Plus.

CanadaOn Sunday breakfast they allowed a local homeless person (he does a lot of cleaning up of garbage in the area which is great… however….) Into the breakfast area, who proceeded to take off his shirt and change standing next to the buffet. He was loud, yelling and very unclean touching all the utensils for the breakfast buffet. Overall incredibly off putting.
Location was great, super clean and amazing staff!

CanadaThe ventilation system (in room fan) went on an off during the night.
The breakfast was fantastic. The food was well prepared and there was an attendant available. The banana-pumpkin pancakes were great. There were real china plates rather than paper plates, and also real cutlery. The breakfast was in the hotel restaurant, so a pleasant setting. The window (balcony door) could be cracked open to get fresh air. The hotel restaurant was closed but there was an excellent Italian one in a short walking distance. It was easy to reach from the highway.
