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 reviewThe hotel is super - funky and interesting. The staff is super polite and caring. The location is perfect. We were able to walk to all major sights in 15/20 min. Just perfect!
The communication between Booking.com and the hotel could have been better for a specific case I had.

Verified reviewVery well located to events I was there to attend at Kennedy Center and Watergaye Hotel - easy 3 block stroll. Also close to Foggy Bottom Metro station for fast, direct travel from/to DCA airport. Plus chill and charming GWU neighborhood. Much nicer food and beverage facilities on site than I expected; next time I'll just partake there! Room was small (as stated) but had everything I needed. The bed was super comfortable. And staff was all really really nice and friendly! A great find and value.
Some of the lighting - particularly in bathrooms, both in room and off lobby - really should be brighter. I know Hive is going for a hip subdued vibe, but sometimes you gotta see the details in the mirror! lol

Verified reviewCozy hotel, everyone from the staff was super friendly, the location is perfect. I liked the bee/hive theme.
Small room but it’s totally fine for one night. Although the room was very clean, the shower slightly smelled like mold, probably cause the shower floor is a bit old.

Verified reviewGood location, quite close to Metro and within easy reach of many eating options. Walkable neighborhood in the GWU area. Room was comfortable, small but clean. I liked the breakfast options and free coffee, the flexibility of check in and checkout. Staff were friendly. The AC in the room was quiet and there was a good extractor fan in the bathroom, which you don't always get.
No USB ports (not a huge deal), you had to ask for ice from the front desk (I didn't). My room was not wonderfully soundproof - I heard noise from adjacent rooms and the rooftop bar, but not for long, and it was not a big deal.
Hi Janina, Thank you very much for buzzing all about your recent stay! We are so glad that our prime location made it so easy and enjoyable to explore DC. We also appreciate your amazing feedback on our breakfast options and accommodating staff. While I am happy the surrounding noise was not too much of a bother, I also appreciate you sharing this with us so we can investigate ways to improve. We hope to see you again very soon for another unforgettable stay! Best, Kara

Verified reviewHotel Hive has become my favorite place to stay in DC—this was my second time here, and once again it exceeded expectations. A big part of that is thanks to Ria at the front desk. I have rarely experienced such a high level of professionalism paired with genuine warmth. She welcomed me with a sincere smile, patiently answered all my questions and requests, and remained consistently attentive throughout my stay. Her care truly made a difference and made me feel valued as a guest. The hotel itself is excellent: stylish, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Between the welcoming atmosphere, modern comfort, and outstanding staff (with special thanks to Ria), Hotel Hive has earned my loyalty. I’ll definitely be back again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

There is no microwave in the rooms, and I found the coffee that they have lukewarm, not hot.

Verified reviewI stayed in 521 and the view was nice, and I loved the little live plant that was in the room. I liked that I was close to the stairs if needed and to the roof top too.
I really wish that there was a drink machine close. I was ready for bed and them I wanted a drink but that meant that I would have to get dressed.

Verified reviewThe hotel had great proximity to everything, not too close and not too far. It was the kind of in between a hostel and a hotel. I will be looking for a micro hotel or hive hotel in other cities.
I don't know why I couldn't sit in the dining area with my dog. If it's hotel policy I think that should change.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are so glad to hear that you and your four-legged family member enjoyed your stay. It is great to know our location and unique hotel style worked well for you, and we love that you are inspired to seek out similar stays in other cities. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the dining area policy. While we do have to follow certain health regulations, we understand how important it is for pet owners to feel included and comfortable. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with our management team for review. We hope to welcome you and your pup back again soon. Best, Hotel Hive Team
