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 AmericaThe hotel was nice but needed some housekeeping. The room we stayed in was clean but the shower had some rust in it and was missing furniture (the corner was empty, like there should have been a chair there.) The hallways and elevator needed to be vacuumed. The parking lot had trash all over-but there were people working on the landscaping. Staff was friendly, free breakfast was good. Overall it was nice enough that we would stay again.

United KingdomIt’s an older hotel, not the Marriot standard you’re used to. To me, it was a lot more like my 90s halls of residence than a hotel. But it had all you needed, and was comfortable enough. The mattresses on both beds were too soft for me and if you slept on either side you would have fallen off- ie suitable for one not two. Despite electing for the maximum cleaning available on my booking of alternate days, I was informed after I bumped into housekeeping and having been warned by previous reviewers, that you had to specifically ask the front desk before 9am to clean your room- so be warned and find out rather than be disappointed. The lighting at the desk was not enough for working- they kindly found me an extra desk lamp which helped after I prompted, a couple of times. The bath had no plug , so after a couple of really long days I was disappointed not to be able to use that despite asking - but not the end of the world. The only real drawback to this hotel was there was no lunch, dinner or room service so I spent a lot of money on Ubereats and if you don’t have a car the only place I found to eat healthy food ,in walking distance ,was the next Marriot Courtyard along. I had considered staying at the The Marriot Courtyard before booking Fairfield and didn’t (due to my wrongly calculated distance). I didn’t regret my decision though after using their bistro - it was a well appointed property, but a soulless place and the staff at the Courtyard were positively lacklustre and had absolutely nothing on the Fairfield staff who I’d rate much more highly just for intelligence and personality alone. The Fairfield are a great bunch and do an excellent job of making up for what the hotel lacks. Whoever is hiring and training them really knows what they’re doing.
Intelligent, sparky, helpful staff. Teas, good coffee and dairy free creamers available in reception all day and night - great after a long day and a good coffee maker in your room. Good breakfast of bagels, eggs, sausages, cereal, yoghurt , waffles etc daily.

United States of AmericaWe asked at least twice to get room cleaning. It never happened. That was frustrating. That should get fixed. Oh. And we had a big king room. Put a couch in it. There was a huge open space with a little tiny chair in the corner Management overlooked this. A little change for a lot of extra comfort
Clean. Staff was very pleasant, especially the breakfast people. Seriously, the highlight of the stay was the breakfast servers. Wonderful demeanor and very hard working. They made me laugh and smile every morning.

Best comfort of bed ever! Pillows not so much. Loved the person who took care of the room. Super. I think her name was Ann. And Ruth was a great front desk person! And another young man too. I will be returning.

United States of AmericaThe room was spacious for three adults, but it needed updating. Parts of the tile in the bathroom were falling apart. The carpets in the elevator needed to be vacuumed more regularly.
The location was excellent because we were attending the commencement ceremony for UAlbany. The breakfast was nice, although we would have preferred fresh fruits in addition to the items which were available: bagels, yogurt, cereal, danish, sausage, breakfast sandwiches and cheese omlettes.

United States of AmericaMy room was supposed to have a sofa bed in the Booking description, but there was no sofa in the room. The description also said that the room had a shower or a bathtub. I don't understand how you can put those two in 'or.' IMHO, the bathtub is preferable to a shower. The TV OS was slow; it responded to actions with ~2 seconds delay, so you had to click buttons for a couple of minutes to get what you wanted. No fridge in the room. Little shampoo and conditioner bottles were tiny. (all points are taken in comparison to Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany Airport, where i was the night before)
the bed was really comfy
