Each 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):
- 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...).

This is a really nice hotel in a great location. We had just stayed in a Hampton Inn in Columbus that was lousy, this was a huge step up. Full size pillows, not the little square ones. No noise from the halls. Nice view from our clean room, and everything within walking distance.

The walls are super thin so noise was an issue. Woken up multiple times from hearing the others rooms conversations and other things. Also there curtains are not blackout so you get the sunlight right away in the morning.
The location is great for walkability. The lobby has free coffee and water 24/7, there is a free breakfast buffet daily, the rooms are clean and have great ammenities -- like a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc.

Beds were a little hard and air a bit damp in the room. We also couldn't fully block out the sun with the blinds, which we didn't like, but otherwise a very nice property.
Very nice property - quite impressed by how large, clean and welcoming it was. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. l liked that the same elevators could be used for the parking garage and the rooms. Used the hot tub which was a great amenity though it was VERY hot. Breakfast was average for a free hotel breakfast, but adequate for us.

Limited in-house meal options. Guess that’s because of Bassett street brunch club being attached to the hotel, so it’s not an issue typically. I just found myself in an atypical situation looking for dinner at midnight after a long concert. But that’s where the location came in clutch
Location. Friendly staff. They welcomed me with a handwritten note

There is construction going on across the street on the east side of the hotel. Thankfully we stayed over a weekend so they weren’t working. But heads up if you’re staying during the week and have a room on that side! The parking garage is so narrow! Driving a big SUV makes it for a tight squeeze.
Breakfast was your typical hotel breakfast (cereal, pastries, waffles, eggs, sausage) and it was good. Breakfast hours are convenient especially on the weekend (til 11) so we got to sleep in. Plenty of room to sit and eat. Staff in the breakfast area were very kind. Beds were comfy. Everything was clean. Bathroom had plenty of towels. Shout out to the front desk staff that brewed hot water for me late at night so I could have tea! They have different kinds of tea bags in addition to honey and sugar in the eating area.

Great location if looking for U of W Madison stuff, cool vibes, walking distance to many attractions, shops, restaurants. Staff was great. Had the pool and hot tub to ourselves which is always a plus. Love the restaurant that was attached! Great staff and great food!
