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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewRoom was very clean. The mattress on the bed provide a good night's sleep for us. The common room was convenient for us to sit at a table and eat the food that we brought with us. Guests need to aware that the Residence is not a hotel so no extras are provided. In the kitchen no serviettes or paper towels, no cutlery or plates

Verified reviewFront desk staff member was very nice, informative and helpful. The location was great and the entire place was fully clean and welcoming. My family and I were very thankful to rest in a student residence for a change!
The mattress wasn't too comfortable. There was no source of entertainment.

Verified reviewTariff free delight. Excellent new facilities. Large shared bathtub shower water closet and vanity with large countertop for both parties of the twin Double bedroom suites. Across the street from Costco. Two minute drive to McDonald's and Food Basics. The mattress has extra spring in them both. Great 3rd Floor view of the massive Parking lot.
Food and beverage available in the front desk foyer, is very much appreciated. The Common room had Tom Cruise movies playing on the extra large Cinema screen. All of the guys on the third floor were unbelievably friendly and helpful. The sink and microwave were great for serving up meals.

Verified reviewFacility was excellent, quiet and clean.
Beds were very hard much like sleeping on the floor.. You may need to bring a mattress pad, however for just a night or two we survived the beds. The rooms were very clean, linens also very clean. Would stay here again!

Verified reviewLocation was great, lots of storage space. A bit tight to fit a pack and play, but it would be manageable (we brought a portable bassinet instead) it was kinda cool to have a spare room to put the baby to bed in, then go hang out in the other room and not have to be quiet. Price was great especially if you have kids, or another couple staying too because its 2 bedrooms connected with a bathroom. I have family in town and will probably stay again some time!
It's a tiny bit confusing figuring out the key cards, though the staff was excellent in their explanation that we were able to figure it out. The mattresses were fairly low quality and very firm. Beyond that no complaints!
