Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

My recent stay at your hotel was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a captivating atmosphere; the building's rich history, charming architecture, and elegant style combined to create an incredibly beautiful and welcoming ambiance. The feeling of stepping back in time, yet enjoying modern comforts, was delightful. The staff were consistently pleasant and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their professionalism and genuine warmth significantly enhanced my experience. The dining experience was equally impressive; the food was not only excellent but beautifully presented, showcasing a clear commitment to quality ingredients and culinary expertise. My room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. Beyond the spotless condition, the comfort of the bed and the luxurious linens were particularly noteworthy. Sleeping soundly on such high-quality bedding was a welcome treat after a long journey.

An amazing historic hotel right downtown. Great staff and the rooms are just right. Surround by a variety of bars restaurants it is so central to anything you want to do. Caroline’s on the lower level has a great menu breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have free parking out back.

United StatesThis is my third stay at The Julian and I have never been disappointed. The rooms are very nice, beds are so comfortable, and the bathroom is very big in the suite. This is the first time I have eaten at the restaurant located in the hotel and it was delicious, and prices were good. This hotel location is close to many eating, drinking and entertainment places. The lobby is beautiful and there are many areas to sit and chat or to work on your computer if needed. The staff is also very nice. I will stay here again when in the area. Oh, and I love the noon check out!!
