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 AmericaBest Western Wifi was unreliable, but if I signed in with my personal Xfinity ID I had no problem.
Location is great. Breakfast is well-stocked and included lots of options including hot prepared foods (scrambled eggs, potatoes, breakfast meat), a waffle station, toasting machine, pastries, yogurt with toppings, oatmeal, milk, several juice options, and by-the-cup coffee machine.

United States of AmericaFor what it was, it was very expensive and mediocre. The man who checked us in was a bit strange. I had messaged (thru booking) and asked if we could check in at 3 instead of 4 and was told yes. I arrive with my friend closer to 3:30 and the man checking us in told us “I don’t know if your room is ready, if you go in and it’s still gross let me know”. Very strange customer service. No duvet cover so it was chilly at night, no house keeping as well. Our shower was still dirty from whoever before us. For something that was $700 for two nights I expected a bit more
Great location, easy parking

United States of AmericaFront desk Staff was unfriendly & seem to hate their jobs! Room had minimal towels & wash items. Asked for an extra pillow & none available. Offered an extremely rough blanket as an alternative. Window in the room literally looked at a wall & was enclosed with a roof! Had to go find my own forks for breakfast. Front desk person said she would be fired if she got forks for me & couldn’t call anyone!
Room was nice. Bed was comfortable.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom light is triggered by movement, so one has to close the bathroom door, to reduce the light. That's about it.

United States of AmericaCounting on a sofa bed as advertised was very important to us. The room didn't have one. The furniture was nice, but we needed a sofa BED. A rollaway was brought, but the mattress was the worst I have ever seen or felt. Also, I wish we had been told about the remodeling. It will be very nice someday, but it was problematic in moving around. Towels given were not adequate for the number in family.
The Breakfast and service were excellent. Very willing to try to help with the issues. The stafff went out of their way to be helpful.
