How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

They don’t offer the bed and breakfast option which would have axed our stay, as we wanted to stay in.
It’s right in the heart of downtown and walking distance to plenty of restaurants, the water etc. Even though there’s no parking provided or valet services, there’s a parking garage where you can park overnight for less than $10 and it’s safe!

Be aware that the additional "amenities fees" and Portland city lodging taxes and art fund taxes will add to the price quoted on the Booking site. It was a bit of a surprise that my $138 room went up to $170 upon checkout. We enjoyed a cocktail in the bar and ate at the hotel restaurant which resulted in a $10 credit. Can't escape the taxes if you want to stay downtown. Valet parking is $59 per night.
The location of the hotel is excellent for events at the Portland arts theaters. Only a block and a half away from the venues. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. Some street noise but our room was on the 12th floor which helped a lot.

Not directly related to the hotel, but the city sounds were quite loud at times; construction noises and at times yelling was heard.
Very friendly and helpful staff,lovely building, spacious rooms, comfortable bed. The restaurant and bar downstairs were top notch and very convenient.

Elevators didn't seem to run smoothly/quickly, especially if trying to go from lobby to restrooms on LL. Stairs were quicker, if somewhat convoluted. Valet parking charge was unclear, as we were told during check-in our mid-size Toyota Tacoma pickup was "likely" oversized, though the valet said the manager would decide, and the manager said the valet would. Ended up getting charged the normal rate, and when I responded to the hotel's feedback request, I received a quick response, which I find encouraging and a definite "plus" for the property.
Easy check-in; comfortable, spacious room with nice balcony; nice food & drink options on-site. Wonderful location for exploring downtown.

Double a parking price. Had I chosen to do that was outrageous. There's a parking garage a couple blocks away. That's much more reasonable

Great downtown location and easy parking just a 1/2 block up the street. Room was large, comfy and had a great view. It's worth a few extra bucks to get up higher because of street noise. Staff was nice, but we didn't talk to them much.

We had to pay for overnight parking, which is fine, but I was under the impression there was parking included. Also, and mind you, it's January...the AC filter was musty.
It was my birthday and the hotel made me feel very special. It seemed really fancy and comfortable. We had a wonderful time!
