Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing. I thought that everything was great, and I would definitely stay here again.
I didn't have very high expectations when I booked, we were travelling on the long weekend and it was difficult to find a reasonably priced hotel. However, I was so pleasantly surprised. The staff were SO nice and the room was clean with more modern furniture but the whole place still had it's nostalgic charm. It was quiet and they had a hot breakfast for free. I would definitely stay here again.

A little pricey for what it is but that is just the area in general. The breakfast options are weak but it’s free so not a problem.
For an older property we were pleasantly surprised by the fresh smell in the room! None of that musty old property smell. Room was very clean and in good repair. Very close to the airport. Has a pub on the property. It was very quiet. Good experience overall

The ceiling started leaking in our bathroom before we departed. We let the front desk know. Not a huge inconvenience, but something that should be fixed.
Very comfy room and LOVED the decor/ambiance. Also, the breakfasts were excellent!

Nothing!
Loved the quality of the beds, the cleanliness, and the AC. Also loved that we had a choice about getting housekeeping so that we didn't have to worry about someone seeing our mess. And the complimentary breakfast! I chose a hotel close to fast food and a city because my 2 active young adults can't stop eating. We didn't have to use them! What a perfect trip! We'll be back!

Although the staff at the front desk was super friendly and welcoming, the lady at breakfast was taking her job a little too seriously… jumping on people coming in to ask their room number. I guess to make sure people don’t go steal food if they aren’t guests, which I can understand, but I felt quite harassed by her the whole time. She was checking everybody constantly and if you dare leave with a muffin in hand, she would jump at you again. One woman was bringing her husband breakfast at the room and was approached by her, the guest was not happy and told me afterwards how very rude and invasive this employee was. I’m sure there are other ways to make sure people are guests, making everyone feel uncomfortable doesn’t justify it.
Warm welcoming from the front desk. Rooms are super clean and beds are comfortable. Although I was extremely sad to see they painted over the original wood beams, what a shame! Modernizing is ok but not at the expense of charm and character!
