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 reviewBeautifully decorated and very comfy. The breakfast was amazing.
It was very noisy at night, near a busy street
Dear Monica, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the wonderful rating! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful décor, the comfort of your room, and especially our breakfast—we know how important a great start to the day is, and it means a lot to hear that it stood out. We're also delighted that our team made a positive impression and that the cleanliness and facilities met your expectations. We do apologize for the noise you experienced during your stay. Being close to the heart of Santa Fe means we’re near some of the city’s livelier areas, but we understand how that can impact rest. For future visits, please feel free to request a quieter room location—we’ll do our best to accommodate. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Inn at the Vanessie. Warm regards, Inn at the Vanessie

Restaurant was closed. Would have been very helpful had it been open as I was traveling with my dog.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave this review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and felt safe and comfortable — it means a lot to us to know our team made a positive impression and that our location suited your visit to the Loretto Chapel. Regarding the restaurant, we understand how it would have been convenient during your travels, especially with your dog. For clarity, our restaurant and bar were temporarily closed for renovations, and this has been noted on our official website over the past year. We always recommend checking those details ahead of time — including our live entertainment listings — as they reflect the most up-to-date information about what’s available during a stay. The good news is we officially reopened today! That said, pets are not permitted inside our enclosed restaurant and bar area, in accordance with local health regulations. We truly appreciate your understanding and would love to welcome you back next time you’re in Santa Fe.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel was walkable to the historical center and many restaurants.
The hotel room was worn and dated. The reception area was a "make-shift" area within the previous restaurant area. The breakfast was poor quality.
Dear Debora, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your honesty. While we’re glad you enjoyed our convenient location near the historic center and local dining, we regret that certain aspects of the property, including the room condition and breakfast, fell short during your stay. Our team is actively working on updates and renovations to improve both the guest rooms and common areas, including the reception and dining spaces. Your comments are invaluable as we continue these improvements, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a more enjoyable experience.

Verified reviewRoom was nicely decorated and large.
The restaurant was not advertised as closed due to renovation. Cold buffet breakfast served and required to be paid regardless at $34. The room was uncomfortable HOT. AC was not working. Portable AC was present in the room. It didn't cool adequately and was so loud we did not sleep all night, even with windows open. Pillows and the bed were not comfortable.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced. While we’re glad you appreciated the size and décor of your room, we’re very sorry about the temperature issues and the difficulty you had sleeping. The portable AC units were a temporary solution during a transitional period, and we understand that the noise and inadequate cooling were frustrating. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we take your comments seriously as we work toward more permanent HVAC improvements. We also regret any confusion regarding our breakfast and dining options. Our restaurant has been under renovation, and during this soft-opening phase, breakfast is served as a buffet and is included in the resort fee — not charged separately. We understand that clarity at check-in is critical, and we’ll be reviewing how this information is communicated to guests going forward. Finally, we’re sorry to hear the bed and pillows didn’t offer the comfort you expected. Guest comfort is a top priority, and we’re currently evaluating bedding updates across our rooms. Thank you again for your honest review — it helps us improve. We would welcome the opportunity to provide a better experience should you choose to visit us again in the future.
