Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe area has nothing to offer, the hotel provides a shuttle service which we found out about on our last morning. The decor is dark and depressing. The room locks and lifts passes are problematic.
The breakfast was reasonable. The room a decent size. Beds fine.

BrazilThe breakfast does not have options, especially for foreign. The rooms need retrofitting. The only restaurant in the hotel does not have change for cash payment. The cost-benefit of the hotel could be better.
The hotel has an excellent staff. The beds are quite comfortable, and the room is very quiet. The hotel location is far from the center, but it is very easy to go anywhere by public transportation.

United States of AmericaSince the area this is in requires a lifeguard for hotel pools, the pool hours were really limited and meant that any time we actually would’ve liked to use it, it wasn’t open. I also really didn’t care for the bedding (a top sheet and two thin blankets); I’m used to a duvet and felt like having three things on the bed just ended up being a tangled mess.
Our booking included breakfast, and it was really nice to have one meal sorted out each day and nice that it wasn’t just a cold continental breakfast. The location is really convenient to get around from - a short walk and quick train ride to downtown and an easy bus ride to Cambridge. All of the staff members that we dealt with were very friendly.

United States of AmericaI think the property’s rugs either need conditioning or replacement. There was an old musty smell. I didn’t like that the shuttle was down my entire stay. The restaurant was not opened Saturday evening as the menu stated. They said it will close early Friday based on traffic this is an inconvenience.
The property is located near the train which is great for going right into downtown Boston. it is a 10 min ride. The game room is nice for the kids especially when it was raining.

CanadaWe sorted through many hotels to find one that had a pool for the kids but that was located close to TD Garden. Each day we were told the pool would open at a certain time and then when we went they would give us a later time and then they would tell us it wasn't going to be open. The two game tables were of interest to the kids but were missing parts such as the balls so they couldn't be used. Not all but some of the staff seemed inconvinced when we asked to pay cash for items at the convince store rather than charging it to the room.
The lobby was beautiful. The room was nice. The kids enjoyed the basket ball and climbing wall. The restaurant staff were kind and rhoughtful.

United States of AmericaThe air was constantly blowing even when I tried to turn it off. I was told to pay for my breakfast when I thought it was included in my stay. There were no signs saying there was a fee for the (what looked like) a continental breakfast. I would not have paid the price for the one scoop of eggs I got. Very disappointed.
The room was comfortable.

GermanyYou didn‘t need a key for the elevater to reach rooms (no-go!). There‘s also no personal safe in the room. Pool and all other facilities from the photos (exept gym) were closed during our stay in September 2022 (they‘re open just a few hours on several days, I guess only when they have staff available).
Area of the hotel was nice, just on the opposite of the hotel, there‘s a nice restaurant to pick up food. Everthing was clean and room was comfortable, even though furniture/AC is quite old.

United States of AmericaI tried to have my bill split, putting X amount on one card and X amount on another. After a little bit of confusion I think. They tried to run the card. They ended up putting the whole stay on my debit card. I am a disabled veteran and am on a fixed income. This has just made planning the rest of my month a bit harder.
