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 reviewNice location close to shops and restaurants bed was comfortable and it was quiet.
Had a gap under my door where big bugs were coming into the room I had to take a towel and lay it across the bottom of the door to stop them. The next morning I picked up the towel and there were 9 big bugs that fell out of the towel. When I told the front desk the next morning the gal who was working seemed not interested as it was normal.

Verified reviewNice location and staff. Fun older building fits with town.
You should remove the old curled paper sign in the room from the start of Covid about room service. This did not give us confidence about the cleanliness.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent. Walked right outside to everything. The mission is across the street, good coffee across the street, and funny enough authentic Italian, excellent restaurant across the street too. Toscana, we recommend eating there
We walked into the lobby, and it was as hot as the outside. No AC. The poor young woman behind the counter looked miserable. There wasn't much in the way of customer service, she just asked for our our card and license, showed is how to get to our room and that was that.No niceties...Im assuming the heat was just too much. Cute lobby, though. The room, ok, if you are just needing a shower and place to lay your head, then this is it. Anything else, nope, not here. Picture this, visiting your late grandparents' house that hasn't been renovated since the late 70s. Kinda cute and cozy with the nostalgic memories, and then you remember it's a hotel where tons of people have done god knows what in the upholstered recliners and on the original carpet and then suddenly not so nostalgic. We decided it best not to sit in the recliners and keep our sandals on our feet anytime walking around. Suspicious stains on carpet, drapes, and walls. But again, we were only there to sleep and shower, and it was cheap, so you get what you pay for. It worked for the night. The bed was ok, but as in other reviews, pillows were not.
