Each 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):
- 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...).

Noisy street noise. Lots of loud, revved up car noise, rail traffic into evening. Bed was hard for my body and pillows were not the softest. Hot tub had so many chemicals there was 6 inches of foam when jets turned on, made my eyes red.
Convenient downtown Tempe location.

The fitness room is tiny, the lobby not very welcoming, staff not overly friendly. The girl on reception was supposed to book us for the airport shuttle but when we went to leave we were told that the driver had left and they didn't know why she had booked us at 4.30pm if the driver leaves at 4pm.
The size of the room was excellent, the beds super comfy, the view from the balcony was nice.

The hotel's decor was cute, but sparse. Unsure if that is part of the "college" vibe it was going for. Instant coffee (no keurig) in the hotel was an unpleasant surprise. Breakfast is not included and the "food hall" looked like a bar, so we chose not to eat there. We chose this hotel because it was cheaper than other options to stay overnight just to get to the airport the next morning, but it still was expensive for just a place to sleep.
Location was convenient. Room was themed for the southwest vibe and was clean and comfortable. I appreciated that our parking fee was comped when we were spending less than 12 hours there (and came in drenched from the torrential rains.)

Problem with computer system at check in. Not meshing with booking.com or other outside booking companies. Took a couple hours to sort our booking out - but they let us go to our room anyway and gave us free drink vouchers because of the trouble. Eventually all good.

It would be nice to have refrigeraters and microwaves in the room. The bar was okay, but it would be nice to have a better dining area. $5 for a bottle of water is ridiculous.
The location is perfect for staying overnight after seeing a show at ASU Gammage. The beds are fabulous and the food was really tasty. Great staff!
