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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United Statesreserved adjoining rooms or suites or next to one another. Daughter on 3rd floor, we were on 2nd floor. No pool or Jacuzzi. Bathroom downstairs filled with poop and did not flush. Not cleaned up from morning until 11 a.m. Flag on pole all tattered and a disgrace to America. My husband asked the desk to at least take it down, rather than keep it flying in that condition. Cost of hotel.
In the correct area for the Columbia College graduation Our room on 2nd floor.

United StatesOur room No. 104 was located next to the highway and the wall on the other side was the gym. When people were using the equipment in the gym, you could hear them. The outside wall/window needs to be soundproofed. The traffic noise kept us from getting a sound sleep.

United StatesMy only complaint, which other reviewers have also mentioned, was that my room faced Huger street, a busy Columbia thoroughfare, and traffic noise went on through the night. I use a sleep sounds white noise app on my phone with a small Bluetooth speaker which helped alleviate some of that.
Hotel looks brand new. Smells like fresh baked cookies and new paint. Fixtures and furniture and decor are all modern contemporary. Bed was comfortable, room was well appointed with coffeemaker, microwave, refrigerator, big screen TV with streaming services. Place was spotless and clean. Staff were cordial and professional. Breakfast was excellent with several choices, something for everyone. Free parking on site. Convenient location in downtown Columbia.

United KingdomLocation was a long way on foot from restaurants. Breakfast was mediocre. We stayed in a lot of hotels during this trip and all their breakfasts were bland and unimaginative. The lesson is to avoid hotel breakfasts and go out for breakfast in the USA. I don't remember if you provided plastic knifes, forks and spoons like everybody else, but if you did you should stop doing so. US hotels generate huge quantities of plastic and paper waste.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was good.

United StatesThe only bad thing was that the bathroom had rust in it. It was not the red rust, but the black one, maybe fungus. Also, the pillows were extremely thin, so bring your own. Besides that, everything was great! Good size of the bathroom, and overall room. Going back.
The room was of a very good size, it even had a big desk and a chair. I went there for a concert and I could do my make-up I the desk with a big mirror. The bed was also of a great size. The staff was very friendly.

United StatesThe staff was not very friendly . The front desk clerks were not dressed appropriately. The front desk staff had tight leggings and their tops looked like swimsuit tops . Their middle stomachs were showing. Their tops were too short. I could not believe it. They need to be furnished with some type of uniforms like khaki pants and polo shirts with hotel logo ..
The hotel was v furnished with nice decor and very clean. Breakfast was good. I was glad to see oatmeal.
