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 States of AmericaThe hotel has been around for 120 years and the bathroom might not have been updated since the ‘90’s.
The staff is phenomenal. Absolutely everyone I met was super friendly and knew their stuff. Really good service. The location was terrific. the rooms were a good size with very comfortable mattresses. Though we didn’t end up using it our room had a working fireplace!

BelgiumThere was no coffee machine in the room, there was reasoning for it from the hotel but the coffee at the self service station did not taste that good unfortunately. But that might just be my European taste buds...
The hotel had a really nice and comforting vibe to it with the darker lobby! The room itself was also incredibly nice, definitely more on the upscale side of hotels you can stay in. There was a separate closet where the fridge, iron and ironing board were stored, very handy.

IrelandWe had to leave it!
From the moment we arrived at the hotel, it stood out from the rest of the buildings around it! This was an "old style" unique boutique hotel that oozed in character! We were met by door staff that rushed over to aid us with our cases and bring them to our reception. We were asked if we needed any water after our long trip from Ireland. (It was needed, along with something stiffer😊) We were "checked in" efficiently with courtesy and professionalism, and the tone was set.. The manager of the hotel 'Paul' came over to us and practically "put his arm" around us with a "welcome to Boston and welcome to The Lennox" greeting. Paul went above and beyond for us, and we were shown to our room (which was huge, and were greeted with Lindth chocolates on the bed, water in the fridge, the room was fantastic and luxurious) We then proceeded to a bar to "wet the lips" (a choice of 4 x bars, all unique styles). We were met by John, who whipped up two "creamy" pints of Arthur's finest Guiness and some fine wines for the girls and cokes for the kids. John knew his stuff and left no stone unturned for us as did Janelle and the rest of his colleagues during our stay. I could say so much more about the beautiful foods we ate and more about the great staff that helped us on our trip. Thanks to Paul and the guys - we have found a new home in Boston when we we come back again. Thanks again, Danny, Tracy, Martin, Pamela, and kids.

Hong KongThey had a transformer blow on the street - but not their fault. They worked around it.
I loved this hotel. We had a suite with a fireplace, and the staff came and got our fire going for us on a very cold Boston day. Location was perfect. The hotel is simply lovely with another big fireplace down in the lobby. Enjoyed watching the playoffs in the attached sports bar as well.

United States of AmericaAn improvement I may suggest is including toothpaste with the amenities provided. Though, all of those included already were great and much-appreciated!
The room service and meals available via room service was/were excellent. The hotel itself and my room in particular were very clean. I enjoyed the ability to refill the carafe available in my room, as this provided a sustainable way to ensure that I had water with me at all times. The staff was also very friendly and professional. The location of the hotel was great, as there were many places to shop and the ride to Fenway (where I was headed) is fairly short and inexpensive (unless there is a surge in prices during the time you may be looking for a ride share service) via car. Overall, a great experience.
