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 reviewThe bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower and bathroom was large. Good location close to Dupont Circle and restaurants.
There is no noise insulation between floors. Noise from just above me woke me up every morning, which sounded like scraping of chairs against the floor and louder walking. There was also a party upstairs one weekend night until almost 1 AM, very loud. The corner King room was quite small and although the view would be good, the windows were old and had a foggy look. There is not a fridge or microwave unless you request one to be brought into your room. The hairdryer did not work and when I asked the front desk for a new one they said someone would bring it up, and even though I mentioned I was in a hurry to get it so I could leave, no one brought it for at least 15 minutes and I gave up. The person at the front desk did not seem particularly concerned about any of these issues when I mentioned them. I likely won't stay there again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the bed and pillows comfortable and enjoyed our convenient location near Dupont Circle and nearby restaurants. However, we're truly sorry to hear about the noise disturbances and the service issues you encountered during your stay. Your experience with the lack of noise insulation and the delayed response from our team does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating this must have been and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Your comments about the room amenities and maintenance have been noted, and we will be reviewing these with our team to identify where improvements can be made. We appreciate your honest feedback, it helps us focus on what needs attention to better serve our guests in the future. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope you might reconsider and give us another chance to provide a better experience. Warm regards, The Lyle Team

Verified reviewThe style and location were very nice.
The bathroom door was a little odd. Glass with curtain. Wrote it off as a designer kink. Didn't slow us down any. Also there was no through sheet on the bed. Again odd but ok. The thread count was nice.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Lyle. The location is excellent — nestled in a quiet, charming residential neighborhood, yet still very close to all the main attractions and easy to get around. Our room was beautifully designed, comfortable, and well-equipped with high-quality amenities. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm and elegant. While the staff was polite and professional, the service felt somewhat impersonal and could have been warmer. That said, Lyle is a great choice for those looking for a peaceful, stylish base in D.C.

There was a strange chemical smell in the room and the whole section of the first floor where the room was. We stayed only one night, but if more it would bother me.
