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 reviewPerfect location to go to events at the Xcel Center. Very clean and quiet even with the hotel being sold out. Helpful and welcoming staff. Loved the valet parking as it is very limited in the area. Will stay here again if at an event in downtown St. Paul.
Only negative was that the beds are really firm so woke up a little sore.

Verified reviewThe reception and valet parking staff were friendly and efficient. The room was clean, comfortable, and functional, as were the public areas of the hotel. The room was quiet, good for us on a long and tiring journey. There's no dinner restaurant onsite, but we found good options a short walk from the hotel.
The wifi is advertised as free, but is only free to members of Marriot's club; joining the club is free, but results in advertising email so isn't really free. The parking cost is very high, with no self-parking options we could find at this downtown location. Getting to the hotel from the interstate was tricky in traffic.

Verified reviewThe staff are the real gems at this hotel! They are kind, friendly and go out of their way to help out. The cleaning staff left our room in pristine condition every day. Truly a special place to stay because of the people.
Not a major negative, but there isn't parking on site. You have to use the valet parking ($35/night). The valet parkers are an amazing bunch - funny, engaging and interesting people to chat with - but it is a bit inconvenient if you need to get in and out often while staying.

Verified reviewLoved the shower. Nice room. Convenient location.
The bed was stiff as a board. The smoke detector went off after taking a warm shower, which was terrifying.

Verified reviewLocation is perfect for going to events at the Xcel, just across the street. Also, you do have to pay to park overnight but it is Valet so upon check in you don’t have to worry about it.

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly, from the front desk, the staff cleaning around the hotel, maintenance, bar staff, always smiling, conversing, offering assistance right away, we felt at home.
The parking. To pay $35 a day to park, when we were staying multiple nights.. we found parking off site at a city ramp and paid $32 for all 4 nights. Worth it to save on the cost.
