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 AmericaThe only day we noticed any type of low energy from staff was on Sunday morning from the valet gentleman which was odd because the Friday morning guy was phenomenal and even helped us on how to unpack our items for our stay especially since he noticed we arrived with a baby. Parking is not good in the location so get ready for the fee and be advised that card is the only option to pay not cash. (Try to park and walk around during your stay) Honestly for the price it would be nice if the hotel actually offered something free even a bagel or drink but everything is a fee even the WiFi. And the escalators are still not working but the elevators are.
The location is beautiful and the weather wasn't too bad, We did like the fact that the hotel is located close to many things to do with children. (Museum , town plaza with tiny shops etc.) I also liked the fact that a key card is needed to get to each floor which is awesome for safety reasons. The room offers a fridge,ice container, tea and coffee maker but NO Water bring your own or buy some from the hotel. They have a restaurant in the hotel which isn't too bad (*especially the drinks) for the first night since we were tired but look around the area if you have time because awesome restaurants are all around but make sure to reserve. The beds were comfortable with weighted blankets and the view was nice from our room to the town and the house keeping is very polite and friendly they will only clean if you want them to. The pool is nice and warm but a bit on the smaller side yet not bad for kids and with it being located on the 2nd or 3rd floor may be the reason for the size. They offer a gym and free drinks (flavored water)in the workout area. Our room location was extra quiet and when reading reviews we were nervous about our children but not a complaint nor issues with the boys having fun.

United States of AmericaWe paid top dollar to stay in the hotel, so I was a bit annoyed that my room charge didn't include breakfast. We did get the $30/day credit for use at the hotel facilities, but that didn't stretch very far, given the prices. While I appreciated that the hotel provided washers and dryers for self-service laundry, I was a bit put-out that the machines weren't free but were pay-operated. For the amount of money we spent on the room, I think the hotel should have provided that service for free. The indoor pool was a little too small for a hotel of this size; I'd recommend putting in a much larger outdoor pool in the future, if possible - that would be an even bigger draw, especially for guests with children.
I don't believe one can beat the superb location of the hotel in Boston. It's literally right next a T station, and most of the water ferries dock right next to the hotel, we took one to Salem, which is a highly recommended destination on the northshore. The aquarium is also right next door, which is a must-visit sight in Boston. It's a short walk across the street to the wonderful Quincy market food hall and shopping area, and an equally short walk to the north end, featuring the finest Italian dining outside of New York city on the East Coast. Liked that the hotel provided washers and dryers for self-service laundry. The rooms were quiet and we were not kept awake by any noisy celebrating during our entire 9-night stay.
