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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The location is good but the traffic in DC is horrible! We used almost two hours for moving 20 miles. The garage is not easy to find but the hotel has very good valet service that you do not need to worry about a bit about your car. The hotel room is not as big as other four star hotels, but it is very quiet. The beds and pillows are one of the best I have ever had in my hotel experience. I had a very good sleep in this hotel.

WiFi is not free if not a Marriott member who booked directly (i.e. not through booking.com), mobile data coverage in the rooms is not great either.
Hotel staff were very professional, efficient and friendly. Rooms were clean with stylish decor. Location is convenient, with many attractions within close walking distance.

The rooms are small. The door had a gap underneath and I could hear everything outside and even see shadows of people walking in front of the door inside. The paid wifi seemed odd, but could be mitigated by becoming a member. If my company wasn't paying for it not sure I would stay here again.

I did not like the super small fridge, I could not even store my leftovers in it. I also was highly displeased with no microwave for me to reheat my leftovers.
The room was spacious and comfy and I liked that it had a table with 2 chairs, I would have liked a couple more pillows without having to request them from the staff.

There's a hidden scam 'destination tax', charged by the hotel $30 per day, which you can only use in hotel's restaurant. At the check in we were lied about the breakfast being a la carte, it turned out to be buffet style which we were not into, making us lose the $30 deposit that day. Despite me paying for the room upfront on booking.com, the whole amount was charged on my partner's card, which he used for the deposit when when checking in. Overall the room was lovely, not the cleanest I've ever seen but decently sized and the bed was really good.
Extremely comfortable bed

I travel a lot and so far, this hotel was the dirtiest I’ve ever stayed at. Where do I begin? I wish I took pictures. As soon as I entered the room, every surface had stuck on food, bathroom counters had hair on them (long and small hairs from what looked like a man’s shavings). The toilet also had a stain. Because I cannot stay in such poor conditions, I spent the first 30 minutes cleaning the place before even attempting to settle in. You might wonder why I didn't call the front desk to ask to be moved to a different room. Well, it was already 11pm and they had already placed me in the wrong room (not the requested number of beds) and I didn’t want to ask to move rooms again. Why does a guest need to clean your rooms for you? As if all these issues weren't bad enough, the hotel had a WIFI outage for a whole day! What respectable hotel can’t figure out its WiFi service in 2024? Never again.
The staff was friendly.

Parking. Checking in to the hotel, you should be given a choice to self park or allow to valet. I was not aware of any option and they made it seem to be the service with your stay. Then charged a destination fee along with oversized vehicle. Never have I experienced anything like this and I travel multiple times a year

I prepaid for the room thru Booking.com, yet the Hotel also charged me the same amount when I arrived and I have to wait 7 days to have someone review and correct I aksed to have 2 queen bds rather than a king, they said htey changed but we go to the room and it was a King. We kept it but when I asked about it their system said room was 2 queens. Have some kinks they need to work out.
It was clear the hotel had just opened with a few things not going just right but staff was curtious and resolved every thing, to be expected at a new hotel. The hotel bed was so comfortable and shower was amazing
