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...).

ZimbabweThe walls were thin and we could hear the neighbors through the doors along the passage. The area was not ideal as a tourist location, much better suited for remote / blue collar workers, though the price suggested a more elevated status.
Comfortable bed.

GermanyThere were no cooking utensils, cups and coffee maker in the room, which needed to be customized. There was a soap in the bathtub from a previous guest. I don't know how they could have overlooked it when cleaning. There was no coffee left by 9am. So I had to go to the building next door to get coffee.
The staff was very welcoming. The room was large, the bed was comfortable, there was plenty of parking, and it was close to the highway. It was a 30 minute drive to Boston.

CanadaThe location was good and the price was better than the hotels in Boston Center. But if you have some other choice, I just suggest do not risk yourself here. We were given a room with very heavy curry smell which definitely were not ventilated before we arrive. Or it was used as a staff kitchen. The floor was sticky with some little waste like Date pit. We opened the window and the Exhaust fan. It did not work at all. Finally we had to ask for a change and were given two single rooms. One of them also had some food smell, but we were told it was the last choice. They look do not care about guests at all. It is a kitchen equipped hotel but you will find the pots, frying pan or any other Kitchenware, although a cook top available. You may use the microwave oven. I give 5 just because I do not want to be bothered by the hotel administration to delete this review. No photos just do not want those stuff taking up space on my phone. Definitely will avoid all Extended Stay America Hotel Chains in the future.

United States- The “grab and go breakfast” isn’t worth mentioning or advertising. - The property allowed dogs and that was fine but the one in the room across the hall cried and whined all night. The owner/occupant was either not there or very inconsiderate or both. There’s no way hotel staff didn’t hear it, so I’ll assume they just allowed it.

United StatesDifficult to locate.The was no breakfast. I don't call sugary food like pastries and granola bar breakfast. Small packets of oatmeal was not replenished often enough. No hot breakfast. Pillows are not washed after each guests, smelled musty. The facility's lobby and elevator smelled and was often dirty. Staff and unprofessional with other staff addressing billing issues. Tone was accusatory and not customer friendly. Waited an extended period of time for check-in or to speak with someone at front desk.
The size of the room. Quiet facility. Location full of dining and shopping options. Plenty of parking.

United StatesThe staff is great. The bad experience is caused by them guests that litter and don’t clean up after their dogs and smoke cigarettes by the entrances. Lots of police activity due to people that need police to control their behaviour. It’s a place to be and the beds are comfortable but I wouldn’t stay here if I had a choice. Every other place in the area is almost double the price. Internet speed is garbage I’ve had to work at local cafes. You get what you pay for.
