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'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):
- 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...).

Parking. Hotel has a smaller lot attached and it got really full the second night. People parked in non spot and I could barely get my car out next morning. They also neglected to tell me that it was 22+tax a night to park which was about 30 bucks per night. When checking out I had to pay 60 dollars for parking
Location was good and hotel was nice and had a good restaurant and snack shop on site

It is right along the river, close enough to give access to the main parts of the city but tucked away enough to feel quiet. Great view of the river and within a short walk of a tremendous park. The staff was very helpful and it was easy to get around to all the city sites without a car.

This was a very disappointing stay for me. There was apparently an issue with my reservation on the booking end. I reserved a 2 queen bed room. After about an hour we were placed into a room, however it was a kind room and didn’t meet the needs of myself and 2 young adult children. We were switched to a 2 queen and the room was nice. We finally got settled in for the evening, after spending an hour and a half or so with the check-in fiasco when something scary and completely unacceptable happened. On not one, but two separate occasions, hotel guests walked into our room while we were relaxing in bed. A woman unlocked the door and came into our room. I was completely shocked. Then a short while later it happened again. It was horrifying to have a man and dog walk into our room. I felt highly vulnerable and unsafe. I called the front desk and they apologized and offered a breakfast coupon. I don’t know how breakfast makes up for a serious security issue., but that’s how the situation was handled. The “apology breakfast” voucher that was slid under our door was only for 2 guests so my kids had breakfast the next morning while I stayed in the room. I still can’t believe it and it scares me just thinking about it. What I’d my daughter was alone in the room? Or myself? The fact that there was no follow up makes me question whether I would ever stay at this property again.

I did not notice any bad things but then I was so sick I just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. I was put in a handicap room which was very nice and allowed me to sit while I bathed in the morning.
I had stayed at another local hotel the night before. I had business in the city and became ill. I was taken to UPMC Mercy ED and spent all evening getting treated. I no longer had my prior hotel so I called Indigo and they had a perfect room for me. The front desk was kind, assisted me in getting some fluids, and made sure I got to my room. The front desk told me they placed a note at the desk that I was ill and if I called I needed help immediately. In the morning the desk called to see if I was OK and I left. I will be staying there again.
