Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The room was nice, the security lock was put on backwards so not usable. The tub didn’t drain well & was slippery & should have had a grab bar inside on the big wall. Lighting in rooms was dark & in the bathroom for a lady to put make up on was quite difficult. Very upset that the pool was not working & when we asked the said it had been broken for about a month. Y’all should let guests know when booking & charge accordingly. We were hoping to use pool but……
The hotel itself was nice. The decor was nice & modern. Love the carpet!!!! Great eating space as well & the staff were super nice!!!

I grade a little tougher as I'm a former Marriott GM. Check in was disappointing as no one was there, had to wait 9 minutes for someone to show up. Check out was also a little disappointing as the agent didn't care about the issues I had with my room, not even a sorry given... which were, the TV had no volume and it wouldn't turn off, had to unplug the unit. My shower also had an issue, pressure was very weak. Breakfast was nice but lacked proteins and hot options (only eggs & warm gravy available).
From top to bottom the property seemed new as the entire place was fresh and sparkling. Beds were comfortable, room was clean, as was the entire facility. Safe environment, eateries within walking distance.

The only thing I would recommend is to switch up the breakfast meat, it was sausage every day and maybe bacon or ham one day would have been nice.
This was the best stay ever. All of the staff were absolutely amazing and Taylor on the evening shift and Gayle on the day shift were super kind and extremely helpful. They both went the extra mile to help us and make our stay the best. The property was clean, and the rooms were what I liked with a nice desk, view, and good size bathroom. We loved the yummy breakfast each day and the coffee and spa water all day long!!!

We came to check out the facility as we needed to move hotels. Taylor was at the front desk and is so efficient and kind and extremely helpful. She gave us a tour and let us check out a room similar to what we wanted to stay in. The next day we lived over and are so happy we did! The facilities are super clean, the staff is awesome….especially Taylor, who checked us in and even after we settled in called to make sure everything was satisfactory and asked if we needed anything else. She really went the extra mile and I found out it was only her first week working here….best hire ever, she is a keeper!!!! The breakfast here is wonderful, freshly made each day and plenty of food for all guests. Pool is super nice and we really like the area and the convenience to downtown. I highly recommend this place over the other 6 in the area!!!

That the fire alarm went off at 3am in the middle of a winter storm everyone needed to walk out of the building . Alarm woke up my sick child and we had to step out in the cold without any explanation or apology from the facility. Very disappointed with that.
That it was close to our location we were visiting .
