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):
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.
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.).

PolandI think I have just one complaint. Even though I booked the room for four people and it was advertised as 'breakfast included' it wasn't included at first. I had to ask staff about it and the lady at the counter wasn't too happy fulfilling my request. I was given only two vouchers for a breakfast even though the room, as I said earlier, was booked for four. The lady explained it's their policy and she can only give me two vouchers... So, keep that in mind if you go there with larger group. The breakfast itself will cost you around $20 otherwise. Basically, in this regard it's far below what you'll get for a 4*, or even 3* run of the mill hotel in Europe.
I chose the hotel mainly because it offered great price in the city center, with walkable distance to Toyota Center. It's located in what seems to be a financial district so it's very quiet and the area seems to be super safe.

United StatesNo huge issues but there was practically an entire wall of outlets in the room that did not work, so we had to alternate charging our devices at the nightstand. Very small bathroom. Long wait for the elevators. No mini fridge or microwave in the room.
Hotel is located on the "outskirts" of downtown, so a lot less foot and vehicle traffic. The lobby looked nice. Hotel appeared clean in the areas we visited. Saw many reviews about the valet parking but there is a covered garage right next door that we used. Quick check in and checkout.

United KingdomNothing really, but just as feedback; The hotel corridors could do with a bit of refreshment, but that didn't bother me or influence my general impression of the hotel. I was working a fair bit in my room, and just a bit stronger light would be good.
The room had all the things expected and required. Great with ironing board, iron, and hairdryer. Work space came handy, and the bed was very comfy. Facilities were nice, outside bar with live music as well as breakfast restaurant- both with lovely staff! Thank you Vicky! I would stay here again if I return to Houston.

United StatesThe bathrooms are perhaps a bit small although well organized. There is no rack to dry the towel after a shower. Some of the amenities did not work properly (e.g. room safe did not operate at all, one of the faucets was loose, and the wifi signal was very weak on the 11th floor). Finally, in the morning, as things get quite busy, the elevator wait can be very long especially for those on the upper floors of the hotel.
The hotel offers clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious rooms. The mattress is firm but not too hard. The pillows are soft but not too much so. The bathroom offers body wash, shampoo and hair conditioner. The hotel is located at the southern end of downtown Houston, but within an easy walking distance to all of the downtown area. Moreover, getting an Uber/Lyft never required a wait longer than 5 minutes for trips outside of downtown.

United StatesI asked two of the staff directions and neither of them spoke English so I was left without help wandering about. Lol The outside light shown through the crack around the door really bad at night and if the water in the neighboring room was running it sounded like a monster hiding inside my room. Frightening until you figure out what it is. Bathroom was small and had my claustrophobic personality freaking a tad. Sometimes the elevator wait on the 5th floor was 15 minutes. I had to take the stairs (5th floor) and almost missed my Uber. Annoying. Oh and my kids used the long pillows as swords and fought with them. Parents beware. Oh, oh and not all of our rooms outlets worked. Lastly was that the midnight snack selection was sub-par.
Beautiful lobby and friendly valet assistance. Also the pillows were fantastic! 10/10 on that!
