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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThis hotel is exceptional from the staff to miniscule details in the rooms. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend Kinley Cincinnati Downtown to all of our family and friends, and we will be back.

United StatesI think the room was a bit pricey not to include breakfast. And the restaurant was not open when I arrived on December 17, 2023 to Kinley Hotel. I was told there was no chef. And The following day on December 18, 2023 the restaurant wasn't opened. Well, with the closed restaurant at Kinley hotel I was able to explore Cincinnati Fountain and surrounding blocks. So it wasn't that bad. I'm not a alcohol drinker so I wasn't interested in the bar. When I went to add another Hotel day due to delay with my return transportation to Detroit, the clerk mentioned a possible discount, but I didn't receive it. If I was thinking I should have made a separate reservation to get the discounted price for the Monday booking.
I like that when I arrived I was able to go to my room. And the map provided with nearby stores, restaurants and museums was stellar. I loved the hotel's decor. I also like the fact you needed your room key to activate the elevator which provided me with a sense of security as a single woman traveling alone.

United StatesIf I had to put a negative, is the lack of parking. This is to be expected for a downtown setting, so be prepared for 20+ for parking. Again, not really a complaint as more of a be prepared.
From the get, the staff was amazing. They were very quick to greet us, welcome us into the hotel and get us checked in. They did a quick tour of the lobby, and we were shown the elevators. When we got to the room is was everything as perfectly described. It was very clean, the downtown view was great overall an excellent location. Close to a handful of good bars, and restaurants. Walking distance from both Great American Ballpark and Paycor Stadium. Along with the Andrew J Brady Music Center. If you’re looking for a beautiful , unique and perfectly crafted hotel; look no further. Enjoy!

United StatesThe hotel is in a very sketchy part of town and I definitely did not feel safe walking my dog around the hotel. The valet guy was less than helpful with my bags. The room smelled terrible. The bed was really uncomfortable. I was charged for a pet fee that was not disclosed when I booked the room. I pad nearly $400 dollars for a 2 star hotel.
