Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaNo place to sit in the restaurant or bar. We were told by the hostess to stand in line for our wine and see if we could find a seat in the lobby.
First room given us was so small that the queen bed doubled as wall to wall carpeting. The bathroom was so small that you had to step out of it just to change your mind. Fortunately when we explained our discomfort with the room they did find us a more suitable room. The seconded room was quite acceptable with an enjoyable view of the bay and city lights. The desk clerk was very kind and helpful.

United States of AmericaThe drain in the shower was slow and the water pressure was unimpressive. The air conditioner didn't go below 68 degrees and it got hot in the room.
The room was exactly what we wanted. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. My wife's massage in the spa was nice and dinner at Limewood was excellent.

United States of AmericaIt felt corporate, tired and dared. While our room had great views and beds were comfy, it felt incredibly impersonal and like we were trapped in a giant box. Also, mini-grudges were empty and there wasn't even bottled water in the rooms.
The history of the building and location on the edge of the Park with sweeping views across the Bat Area are stunning. Staff were all wonderfully helpful and welcoming.

United States of AmericaThe specific room we had this time had an hvac unit of some kind in the closet, and it went on very often throughout the night, and was quite loud. We didn’t sleep well due to the intermittent noise. Also, most of the self-parking lots were taken over by the valet parking, which was inconvenient for those who do not valet.
We’ve stayed here before, and love the hotel, location, and staff.

United States of AmericaThere were many parties the night we arrived so parking was difficult. We circled the lots for 20 minutes and were scolded for stopping under the porte cochere to check in. We were disoriented in the dark and rain and our first moments were tense. After check-in all went smoothly until validating the parking pass, which was unnecessarily complicated: verbal instructions different from signage. Why?
