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 States of AmericaIt's an older building, so there are some interesting features in the rooms. The bathroom was very small, to open the door you had to step behind the toilet, just a bit awkward. And the parking fee is mentioned, but it is not mentioned as a recurring daily fee.
Staff was great, good location. They did provide ear plugs which we didn't end up needing, but could be nice, Would recommend they put 2 pairs in the rooms for when they are needed.

United States of AmericaParking lot was tiny but reasonably priced and expected for downtown. Heard lots of trains really close by. The bathroom was pretty small and had a very small older toilet.
Good location for the knitting factory which is where we were going. Walking distance to many restaurants. Room was older but clean and comfortable. Appreciated having two sinks.

United States of AmericaNothing really. Everything was as I expected. The elevator was a little small and slow but it was ok.
We were attending a concert at the Knitting Factory so we wanted somewhere close, Hotel Ruby fit the bill. This is an older, basic, but clean and convenient hotel. The desk staff was friendly and helpful at both checking and check out. We only spent one night, the beds were ok, not the best but definitely not the worst. The bathroom and shower were clean and has been sufficiently updated decent shower pressure and toilet flushing. They provided foam earplugs in case the outside noise was too much but we had no problems with that, our room was towards the back though, maybe others get more street noise. All in all it was a good stay, I’d book again if I needed a downtown stay.

New ZealandUnfortunately we arrived on a Monday night and hardly any restaurants were open - which, of course, was not the fault of the motel.
The room was fine - comfortable and clean. The staff were welcoming. There was secure parking available.

United States of AmericaHated the parking, the lot is super tiny and while they have overflow parking it’s in a public lot a block away. The car next to our had a window broken which makes me nervous to park there again.
I like the location since it’s right across from the knitting factory

United States of AmericaUnfortunately, the bar was closed on Sunday. :( Parking was a little tricky but the front desk person was helpful to coordinate the small parking area.
Hotel Ruby is in the heart of the entertainment district. I chose this hotel because we needed a hotel close the airport but also wanted to be able to walk to Riverside Park. There is also many restaurants in this area. We came on Sunday evening so not many concerts but still a beautiful night to see the falls. The hotel room is on the small side but the bed was very comfortable and the room was surprisingly quiet. I appreciate the custom paintings and visual appeal. Bathrooms are updated with nice amenities.

United States of AmericaThere's really not much to the property. Just the rooms on 3 floors around the parking lot. The bar was closed on the night I was there (Sunday). The rooms are very basic and the shower nozzle is very low for someone over 6'.
Great Location and the rooms were nice but small. The bed was comfortable and overall it was a great value. There is also a refrigerator in the room. I would stay here again if I was in Spokane for work and wanted to be downtown.
