Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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. The room is spacious and clean. The bed is comfortable. The on-site restaurant's Brazilian buffet is delicious. My kids love it.

In order to turn the bathroom light on, all lights in the hotel room had to go on. This was odd and made for a dark trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The only other issue was the air conditioning. No matter what temperature you had it set at, it was either freezing in the room or ridiculously hot.
The hotel is in a great location, easy to get in and out of. It was very clean and the staff were exceptional. It was also across the street from a lovely park with lots of things to do which made it a bonus.

Feels a bit out of the way, around 30-40 minutes walk to touristy areas and not directly on a bus/T route so a little walk to public transport. Inconvenient to return during the day due to this, so hardly used the hotel facilities. . Probably just Boston prices for this time of year - but at $400 per night, felt very expensive for mid week nights in an out of the way neighbourhood. Suited more to conferences or business travel than general tourist travel. Stayed here as friends had already booked - but I wouldn't stay again. Not unhappy with the stay at all, just didn't feel like great value for money to me.
Clean and comfortable room, efficient elevators. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The overall hotel photos appeared much nicer than in person where our room with a king sized bed was extremely small, especially for the price. There was a mixup with billing which delayed our checkout time and we were inconvenienced with the destination charge which was unclear. Since we booked this hotel back in March 2024, we anticipated a decent sized room with amenities and were surprised at the size of the room. However we were informed upon check-in that we were initially placed in a room for the hard of hearing so it’s uncertain if when we were switched we were given a much smaller room than the photos provided on the website. Again for the cost I would have thought breakfast at least would have been provided but fortunately our visit was for a show and not solely for the hotel. Otherwise it’d be a greater disappointment.
We liked that it was close enough to the seaport and not far from downtown Boston. The Brazilian steakhouse was great and added value to our stay.
