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...).

United StatesThey could not find our reservation properly as we booked two rooms and they had us for one initially they said they could put the two rooms together as we had three children, teenagers. They said they would let us know in 10 minutes. They never called back. I went to the desk. They assured me to be 10 more minutes that didn’t happen. We had an event to attend so I called the hotel someone picked up Ash would be OK to put me on hold and I lingered her languished for over 20 minutes before hanging up. When I went back to the hotel that night, the attendant never heard of such a request to have rooms together, and it could not be accommodated. Also, when I went to pick up my car from the valet, he asked me to get it myself instead of him, retrieving it which I did.
The location was superb in the rooms where modernized and beautiful. The common area is for stately and luxurious.

CanadaSome might have been bothered by the things noted above but we are realistic people and found the things mentioned above as entertaining. Minus the attempted mugging out front by a few girls surrounding me (female). I escaped as fast as my feet would allow me, safely and unharmed. But it was after 10pm. Do not recommend standing out front this late. This is Baltimore after all.
The property was in a fairly safe location (only one attempted mugging out front at night) and we had great views of the 12 O’clock boys riding by each night (amazing free show of talents!) and beautiful views of the harbor and helicopter patrol of the park across the road. The pimp staying in the hotel hanging with his ladies out front around 10pm trying to score dates via their phone was entertaining and she assured him she was trying. And they were successful as a man showed up! It was an eye opener for sure. The water pressure was a bit low. The room was clean and simple. No pictures on the walls but comfy beds. The breakfast restaurant on the weekend was ok. A spoon to stir my coffee rather than my butter knife would have been nice. But our nice waitress kept disappearing. Food was good but a bit overpriced for simple breakfast pancakes and an omelette. Staff were very friendly. The pool was very crowded but clean on Saturday night with 12 small kids in the hot tub with their two moms. It was no longer a hot tub if you know what I mean. Very cute and entertaining though. We were happy to have stayed here because of the views noted above. We would have been disappointed had we been facing the back. It was also super close to Camden Yards (quick walk up the road) which was great!

The location was perfect. We parked in the garage when we got there and never used it until we left to go home. We were able to easily walk to restaurants, stores and attractions. Fitness room was very nice.

United StatesThe only thing I didn’t like was how one specific employee was rude. He came into the pool area telling everyone to get out. The pool is closed when it indeed did not close for another five minutes. He was rushing everyone to get out the pool and had such a negative nasty attitude. The other thing I don’t like is how you have to pay for parking and it’s also very challenging to find parking in the garage. For a weekend day I ended up paying over $50 for parking which is a bit pricey on top of paying for the hotel. I think they should give you a parking voucher we staying at the hotel for a certain amount of days.
I liked how when we checked in we were offered a lower level, but the front desk asked us if we want to hire and promoted us to the top floor with the view of the harbor. We came on 4 July, so of course, as you would expect a lot of people were there for the view. The staff was very friendly The view was very nice. The room was good. Everything was pretty clean. I enjoyed the pool area. The hot tub was also feeling great. I love how they offer our towels at the pool so you don’t have to bring your own. They have a outdoor basketball court tennis court indoor gym. This is a really nice hotel. Staff are really friendly.

United StatesWhen we first arrived, the person I worked with was not friendly or helpful. I asked if Orioles park was in walking distance and asked how we would get there and she said "can you elaborate?" Then I said which direction do we walk and how long, she did not know. I feel like if you work at a hotel at the front desk near the park you should know this answer. She also did not tell me I could put parking on my room for a discount and then at check out was too late. I also did not know the bar/restaurant was closed so that was a bummer. It was ok tho! Add some lights on the balcony its pretty at night but you can't see anything.
The hotel is in a great location to Camden Yards and MT Stadium. Also, walking to the inner harbor was perfect! The staff upon leaving was great! The greeter at the door was very friendly! Being able to see fireworks from the hotel 7th floor balcony was cool, but they need to trim the bushes a little more :) haha

United StatesThe restaurant/lounge was closed. Was not aware of this until we checked in. Could not find a vending machine or little convenience store within the hotel to get a cold bottle of water. No breakfast/ or at least none that I saw….I think it was advertised, maybe because the restaurant was closed? Went down to ask staff about water and there was not anyone at the desk.
The property was clean. Nice to have an attached garage. Room was very nice. Bed was comfortable.
