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.).

Breakfast was very expensive ( capucino with toast and Jam 18 USD. WOW) . It would have been great to have parking available without having to pay 40 Dollars for it...... (valet). Other than those 2 things, I loved it! Thank you!
Loved the location, the roof top bar, rooms, it was very quiet. Overall really great, loved it. BUT........

The decor in some ways seemed more focused on looks/design than comfort; the desk chair, for example, was wide enough for 1.5 people, and the armchair could have been more comfortable. The breakfast buffet was pricy for pretty basic hot food offerings and not a speck of fruit. Were pleased to find free morning coffee on offer our first night--and then disappointed to learn it was a weekend-only perk, which the staff hadn't made clear to us the previous morning.
Spotless room, good size, comfortable bed, good location. On-site restaurant. Free coffee on weekend. Good free wifi. Loved the closet--hangers, drawers, a light that went on when you opened the doors, and a place to put the suitcase!

I thought the breakfast buffet price was high for the items included. The pricing for garage parking was not very clear, so I used valet which seems to have been the better option.
The staff was exceptional. Each member was very professional. I would highlight the valet parking team as very courteous, personable and professional.

There is some construction altering your usual parking pattern, I think. To wait for valet return of car, one needs to be on the ground leverl, but the lobby is on the second level. No comfortable seating on the ground level.

The parking
Property is very clean and nice ! Newer hotel Located directly across the street from Cincinnati university. We stayed here celebrating our wedding anniversary, food was good at cap city diner that is right next to the hotel. Streets are little tight and the parking garage was a bit confusing at first . Not far from downtown or the zoo. The roof top Bar / lounge is very nice and relaxing , the bartenders were wonderful and very welcoming . Breakfast was good , pancakes were delicious and the wait time was not long at all . Very pleasant and the property gives luxurious vibes for sure ! Check in was quick and easy and check out was the same .

My room was located near the exit to the elevator on the 7th floor. There was quite a bit of foot traffic and doors slamming during most of the stay. No microwave in/near the rooms.
Easily accessible, cost/quality was satisfactory.

Be aware of the extra charges. Not totally unexpected for an urban hotel, but the charges do add up when there are other options nearby.
Proximity to UC campus was the deciding factor for us and ended up being perfect. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great stay!
