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.).

Rooms were dirty, hair in the bed and bathroom, crushed up cookie in the bed, blood on the ceiling, mud on the floor, broken bathroom door, broken lamp, pool and hot tub both filthy, scum floating around, not enough towels and they couldn't give us any because they had no more clean. Front desk girl was very ignorant and rude. Tried to bill my credit card 2x for my rooms as I had a third party booking.

Verified reviewNo lights in the elevator. Smelled like a trap house and curry. People living there and walking around without shirts or shoes. My tailgate to my truck was open in the morning but Thankfully I had put the tools in the cab. I wouldn’t recommend and will NEVER stay here again. Spend the extra $20 and go somewhere worth sleeping.

The room was dirty, dark, and skinky. The ceiling in the bathroom was falling in and leaked water when the room above took a shower. Told the staff, and they didn't care. Staff was rude. The people in the room beside us said they had bedbugs! Don't stay there. Horrible place!! The water slide had algae growing on it. The hot tub was cold and dirty water! No smoke detector, just wires hanging from the ceiling.

Verified reviewThe staff smiled
They downgraded our room, the floor was more comfortable than the beds, and I had to go buy a foam pad to sleep on. The 4 pillows together equaled almost 2. The blankets were also full of holes from what appeared to be cigarette burns. The bracket holding the ADA rail in the bathroom was so rough and sharp that I cut my foot on it and their attempt to fix it for us was just a grinder to the top not to the edges that were sharp. The room spray was so overpowering that our eyes wouldn't stop watering, and we had to try and ventelate it. The microwave didn't work. When they came to fix it, we learned that it, the frig plus coffee maker, all ran off of an extension cord coming from under a gap at the bottom of the drywall near the shower with no visible outlet or other end of the cord. Similarly, everything during breakfast, the warmers, waffle maker, etc, were all fully operated on extension cords even though there were available outlets. And yet the eggs were still cold, the coffee smelled bad, and they didn't have some of the basics that were advertised. The ice machines were all non funtioning, but the pool sure felt like that was where all the ice went. Whoever painted the room didn't care what other surface was splattered as it was all over the headboards, the curtains, the edges and back of the TV, the countertops, and the tiles. There was also visible water damage and mold on the ceilings throughout the hallways. The attempt at trying to make things look nice with plants failed as there were dead plants scattered throughout the hotel in all public spaces. I felt dcieved and very disappointed with this stay as it couldn't have been further from what was advertised or booked.

Verified reviewThe rooms was what we expected as far as beds and amenities. The location worked for our needs. The price was OK because I booked months in advance. Ea
The toilet seat was broken. There were no real curtains in our windows, only the inner shear with a huge street light shining in all night plus no privacy. There was no screen on the widow and the windows opened fully. Very dangerous on the third floor. Every surface in the room was sticky like the finish was damaged or something. One bed was comfortable and quiet. The other bed made all kinds of noise with evey movement. There was a dirty towel under the sink.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good and had a small assortment of options.
The chemicals used to clean left a sticky residue on all surfaces - it was gross and we laid paper and towels down so our stuff wouldn’t touch it. Everything stuck to it, which is not what we want in our hotel room.

Verified reviewThe location was great because it was close to where I needed to go.
The room looked like the only thing that was updated was the flooring. Furniture was scuffed up as well as the bathroom sink cupboards had blue paint streaked on it. There was water damage up above the shower head and the floor we was on was very muggy and smelled very musty, almost like body odor. The staff was very hard to understand due to their dialect (they were friendly though. The pool looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for quite awhile as the color of the water was yellow. We will definitely NOT be staying there again! Oh, and the AC didn't cool the room at all.
