Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

The apartment was exactly as in the pictures and it had two full bathrooms which was great as we were 5 people. Even the sofa bed was very comfortable and of a very decent size. It was easy to go everywhere and close to the train station.

United StatesMaintenance of some items not as optimal. Tried to use the provided appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher washer). It seemed like the dish washer had a lot of pre-inserted liquid detergent in it so if washing the dishes were over washed with suds. The dryer didn't work due to the condenser filter not being cleaned at all. Since my group didn't know how to do that, it was left a lot; first time ever seeing one and assuming everyone knows how to clean and not break it is a lot.
Location is perfect and nearly in the heart of the city. You can walk almost anywhere, response from the service was fast and courteous.

United StatesThe covers were not cleaned thoroughly as there were stains on them and just surface level visible dirt that could have been removed if washed properly . The towels in the primary bedroom weren’t cleaned thoroughly or at all … unidentified brown spots on multiple and lipstick on one I immediately threw them in the wash . The primary bathroom sink has a mold / mildew problem as every time I turn the water on the mold smell activates and it did start to trigger my sinuses. Floors not swept thoroughly hair and etc was visible upon first entry to the apartment . Some things need updating usual wear and tear .
I loved the friendly staff, the location was good in terms of distance to attractions , retail and food. Right on the bus line . The heat worked great as it was very cold at night in Philly. The room had mostly everything you’d need tide pods and etc. able to contact quite easily with the property managers if the pelican apartments.

United StatesThe second bedroom has no window like a prison. The room lights are dim. The bed is not a normal queen size. It is very cramped for two skinny individuals let alone guests of larger built.
Location is excellent. Amenities acceptable except the TV is not working hence we cannot watch Netflix in the living room. Wi-fi is satisfactory but no cable, which is a big disappointment.

United StatesOne thing to note is that the apartment management and the building management are totally separate. The building staff can be incredibly rude so make sure you contact the apartment management and don't go to the front desk with issues because they will not help you and in my experience were just rude. The apartment management is great and super responsive and helpful.
The location is great and close to so much. The staff was super responsive and quick to fix the couple issues we had. The apartment itself was great and the amenities were super convenient. Highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Philly.
