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 reviewAll went well.
I called to the front desk for extra towels and they said they didn't have any available. So my guest didn't have an extra towel to use. That's why i put a rating of 7.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m glad to hear that most of your stay went well, though I’m truly sorry we fell short when it came to providing extra towels. That’s not the level of service we aim to deliver, and I understand how inconvenient that must have been—especially when hosting a guest. I’ll be following up with the team to ensure we’re better prepared moving forward. We really appreciate your feedback, and I hope we have the opportunity to provide a smoother experience during your next visit to Tempe.

Verified reviewThe hotel/location was amazing, walking distance from Mill St. Staff was okay. I forgot the lady who checked us in, she was super welcoming. The others didn’t quite acknowledge us until we approached them and asked for help but over all was amazing.

Verified reviewThe pillows were very comfortable, the bed was great. Mine didn't squeak at all but the other bed did every time you moved. The front desk receptionists were all amazing, shoutout Ronnie.
The parking was for a fee that I was not aware of until I was back home and looked at the bill. That should probably be mentioned or displayed better when booking/checking in.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our comfortable beds and that our front desk team, especially Ronnie, made a positive impression during your stay. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words! We appreciate your note about the parking fee and understand how important it is for guests to be aware of all charges upfront. We do our best to communicate this during the booking process and at check-in, but we'll certainly review how we can make it even clearer moving forward. We hope to welcome you back for another great stay in the future!

Verified reviewThe check-in was quick; we could park in a parking garage next door and were given a parking pass for the night. Breakfast was healthy and delicious with a variety of options. The fitness center was small but adequate for a quick jog, stretch, and lift.
This is not the fault of the hotel, but when we walked to downtown Tempe and back to check out the nightlife, there was a staggering amount of homeless or vagrants in the area. On the way home it was a little sketchy and one of the homeless men was bent over next to the sidewalk with his pants down. It was a little sad to see this with the contrast of self-driving cars and college kids everywhere, but many people didn't seem to mind.
Thank you Heath, for leaving us a positive review. We hope to host you again in the future and hope the area around Tempe will not deter you from choosing us as your home away from home in the future.
