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 AmericaJust a suggestion that it would be nice if hotel offered local transportation service. I'm used to Opal at Lido Beach, they have a van that transports you to Armands Circle. Just a thought.
Room was very large, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very modern and new.

United States of AmericaThe restaurant. The decor was not inviting at all, reminiscent of a hospital cafeteria and the menu extremely limited. With all the competition you have just down the street, I feel you are missing an opportunity to bring more customers in. Why not add some charm and coziness to the place (like the rest of the hotel) and expand the menu.
The friendliness of the staff, everyone went out of their way to be helpful.

United States of Americaeverything was way too expensive.
the historic building is gorgeous, the room we had was very nicely designed and decorated. the only complaint was the large sofa was blocked by a coffee table that had to be up against the sofa to allow room to access that side of the bed, essentially making the sofa unusable.

United States of AmericaThe food didn’t match the level of the property. We had lunch/dinner/bites at the three property restaurants/bar and all were blah at best. Had to send plates back as food was served cold. Kids pasta looked /tasted like it came out of a box. The food let down the experience and value.
Beautiful property and lovely restoration. Great view of the bay.

United States of AmericaThey only issue I found was that although each staff member knew and did their job well, the different areas of the hotel, ie pool staff, house keeping, valets, even the front desk didn’t know details about the other areas. For example, no one could tell me how to reserve chairs at the pool. They could only tell me I’d have to ask the pool staff and how to get to the pool. Also, there was no direct phone line to the pool staff. Every call had to go through the front desk and if the desk was busy they couldn’t answer the phone and I’d have to call back. That was annoying and wasted valuable sunbathing time.
Beautiful, Grand Hotel and location is perfect for walking around to discover the uniqueness of downtown St. Petersburg, FL. Rooms were very comfortable. Staff was very efficient and friendly. They made sure we had all we needed and more. Hotel guest services reached out to me before the trip to give info on the hotel/resort and asked if we were celebrating any special occasion. I returned his email with an affirmation of our special event and we were surprised with a bottle of Prosecco and some macarons when we arrived.
