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...).

New ZealandAlthough in a residential street, it is close to a major thoroughfare which could be noisy at times.
A great getaway within easy reach of all the downtown sights, via the "L' subway system. Considering we let ourselves into the wrong apartment, we were very comfortable and found our host Safa charming and helpful.

United States of AmericaThe only thing for me was the desk/computer chair in the bedroom was not comfortable.
The location is near the 90 highway which leads to downtown in less than 30 minutes. There are many surrounding restaurants. It is a quiet residential area and available street parking depends on time of day. We still found a spot.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like. The apartment was perfect for what we needed. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from Western / Milwalke metro. It was fine for us, even with 2 large cases, but might be less convenient for other travellers. It gave us the type of space we needed at a reasonable price.
The apartment was spacious and well equipped, perfect for a family group who didn't want separate and anonymous hotel rooms. We didn't use the kitchenette, but it would have been very adequate. We were snug and warm on chilly November nights. The apartment was easy to find from the metro (handily between the airport and downtown). The host provided very helpful welcome and orientation information, and made sure everything was OK after check in. There's a great cantina on the corner 3 doors away (we heard no noise from it at all) and a coffee place along the street. Highly recommended La Cafe at Western metro for breakfast and any other meals.

United States of AmericaThis is our second time staying here! It’s in a great location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby to explore and try. Everything was clean and comfortable and I plan on staying here for my next trip into town. The owner is very nice, responds fast and is great with communicating. I’d definitely recommend this as a place to stay if you’re looking around.

Good price in comparison with the hotels in the city center, especialy if there is organized some event. Very quiet location, possible to park for free, directly in front of the appartment. It is easy to reach the city center by Blue Metro Line. A lot of good not expensive restaurants around.

NetherlandsLocation is not very well connected, so you always need to walk a lot or switch multiple buses/metros to get to the city center. We mostly ended up paying for LYFTs at night when too tired or when we had to rush downtown in the morning. There is also no option to store your bags after the 10 am checkout so you need to find a payed storage location (also needed a LYFT/Uber there). Overall, good value for money for the room, but you got to factor in all the transportation and luggage costs too, so keep that in mind..
Nice and spacious two bedroom place with a fully equipped kitchen. Check-in and out are very easy since the place works with a door code. The owner is very friendly and quickly available on chat to answer your questions.

United States of AmericaNo complaints
Close safe street parking was easy, short walk to an excellent grocery store, medium walk to the blue line, quiet and comfy neighborhood on a Sunday morning, some lively night life, but not so much that it was annoying. Very good location and accommodations for the price. Nice to have an ironing board/iron and space to eat breakfast in before going out for the day.

United States of Americathe locks being reversed on the doors for some reason? hahah wasn’t a big deal at all we thought it was funny actually but just a heads up If you were to take suggestions, only cause we didn’t bring our own water, a brita to keep in the fridge I think would make for a nice addition to the stay!
loved the entrance part and how central it was to a lot of things around us! I love my showers and that shower was a Top 3 I’ve taken one in.. Insane water pressure beds were comfortable

United States of AmericaThe only thing that could be improved is the addition of a recycling bin. However, I do not know anything about the recycling situation in Chicago.
The property was like a small apartment in the middle of the city! Parking in the street is free up to 7 days, which was also nice. On the corner of the same building is an excellent Mexican food restaurant. Staying at the property offered a glimpse of what it would be like to live there. I am not just satisfied, but will also try to stay there on future visits to Chicago.
