Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaWay too expensive, everything, including the food was costly, felt like “ Resort” pricing, there’s nothing about downtown Birmingham that feels like a Resort. And, paying to park certainly doesn’t feel like southern hospitality.

United States of AmericaKeep a small pamphlet in the room with instructions on the use of the TV and AC. I miss the days when there was an abundance of helpful information in the rooms.
Had pancakes and bacon. Got my own coffee from the table. Did not eat dinner at the hotel. Went to a local restaurant. The room had no written material. I had to figure out how to use the TV which was easy but never did figure out how to adjust the thermostat. Had to request a hair dryer and it was a new one. The room I was given was not the one booked but I was told that room was overbooked. This was the last room on my end of the floor. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I chose the hotel as it was next door to the Red Mountain Theater where I was attending a special function. I did not need the attractions as I live in Birmingham.

United States of AmericaThe refrigerator was iced over and overheating. In the small cabinet it was in I was surprised it did not catch on fire. I know a little about refrigeration. One of the matters in our room had h loud squeak every time I rolled over. Room 423. I did not like that the employees would come out of a door by the pool and smoke.

United States of AmericaThe young black attitude at Breakfast time on the Hilton side was "OMG". Once we checked the lady at the desk explained everything down to the point for your stay at the hotel. Very professional. so the next morning went to the Hilton side for breakfast which I had paid for within my booking. She looked at me and my husband to you belongs over here. I applied yes with a stare look. She relies upon "what room". I said 424. I don't see you on the list. What's your name is was her reply? So gave it to her. I don't see you on here with attitude and her reply. let go to the first desk and see walking fast with attitude. So we followed with the other guests looking at us like we did not belong on that side. So the Manager at first put me up on the list. And told her the "BK" stands for Breakfast. Now she's looking crazy. So we go back and help ourselves to the breakfast which we are entitled to. So, I did ask her I see you didn't ask anyone about their room number or name (s). Her reply "They on the list." Just blunt and short with those sentences. So they ran out of biscuits so we ask for some more biscuits. Her reply is OK with attitude. So this white lady asks for some more bacon "Sure ma'am just as pleasant. Now I'm like oh this must be a black-on-black issue. She proceeds to help everyone except us. So the OJ is out, so I told the cook who was cooking some eggs that the orange juice was out and can we get some more. With no problem or question asked. Ma'am, I don't want anything I didn't pay for. She gave my husband the ticket to sign and thought you going to get a tip. Tip right on away from us. We usually leave awesome tips. If you are in a bad mood (stay home) or if you don't like people this is not your profession.
Cleanliness and coolness of the room.

United States of AmericaAll was well until breakfast. Completely grossed out. We got there at 8:30 AM and most items had run out. No utensils left. One bagel left which my daughter and I split. I didn’t see any re-filling of anything. The waffle station was just gross batter all over the place. Empty tables, but none cleaned off. We just ate half a plain bagel on the outside patio in the heat as the inside was gross.
Location, clean room, plenty of parking. Front desk lady was very accommodating and helpful.

United States of AmericaThe downside was the $15 per night for parking and not being able to find a parking spot. We had to move cones and luckily get a spot. If that didn’t happen we would’ve had to park elsewhere and risk tickets or towing. We live out of town so it could’ve been bad.
I liked the location, cleanliness, and the soft pillows. Also, I liked that the check in girl was nice but failed to tell us time for breakfast and checkout time! Ya know the basics. I do like the check out time being 12:00 pm
