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 are 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 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 StatesAlthough staff members were fairly friendly, none of them were able to correctly tell me the arrival time for the city bus that stopped right outside their door. After asking 3 different receptionists and receiving 3 different answers, none of which were accurate, I finally took my chances and just waited for a bus to come. To me, it just seems inconceivable that the hotel was unable to provide info to its visitors on what is a major bus route to downtown Sarasota. My room was also not impressive. Aside from having a disconnected smoke detector (illegal), a very noisy AC system, stained sheets, the cleaning, esp in the bathroom was really not up to par. Last, but not least, I did not realize when I booked that this was a pet hotel. And, while I was not really bothered by the animals staying there, I do think the wear and tear on the hotel was indicative of its pet status.
There was really nothing Good about the hotel. It's most positive attribute was its location, which was fairly close to downtown, but other than a Subway, and some Mexican restaurant/bar, there was really nothing within walking distance of the hotel, and the city bus only came once every 40 minutes. Re the Mexican restaurant, it did seem to be a pretty popular place, but my take on it was that it was kinda expensive, had a limited menu, and the food was so-so. Thank goodness for the bar.

United StatesRoom 313. Poor air conditioning. Air conditioner and mini fridge condensate leaked into carpet, causing wetness around these appliances to about a foot and a half away, and permeating mold smell throughout room. Bath tub did not empty water (likely clogged) when showering. Blow dryer did not work. Mini fridge was off upon arrival.

United StatesThe room was not clean. The sheets and towels were laundered but the curtains and headboard had nasty stains, the shower head with completely blue with mineral/mold build up. Small trash items that slipped were left behind the bed on the floor underneath the built in headboard. It appears they just do the bare minimum to maintain the rooms, which even for the affordable price, seems off-base.
Pet friendly and very nice staff. The room was very spacious with a lounge area, two sinks and a fridge/microwave/couches and two TVs.

United StatesI was there for two nights in the room and the bedroom was broken, I asked for extra pillows and blankets multiple times and kept being told they will call me back, when I asked them about the TV they were not nice proceeded to tell me I was not programming it right the first night. Second day I went to the beach which was a great location from my hotel, but when I got back to the hotel they proceeded To tell me that the TV is still broken. I just feel like the hotel was very understaffed and low equipment

United StatesI don’t really like the property, the “ Suite”was disgusting , The general cleanliness of the hotel is disgusting, the hallways are dark, the carpets are dirty, the furniture is old and outdated, the curtains have stains, the lamps have rust as well as the toilet paper holder in the bathroom, the bathtub was replaced a plastic to hide the poor condition it is in , the doors are stained with white paint, the baseboards are super dirty and lifting.. the phone did not even work to call front desk to ask for extra blankets. When I called from my cell phone, the rep told me to turn my AC up instead of granting my request. Would not recommend this property, it’s a sham. False advertisement all around, I feel defrauded.

United StatesEverything outdated the moment you walked in the building Elevator buttons cracked, I walked out of my room and walked 20’ and came back to room and my feet were black, so clean was met really clean, bed was comfortable but mirrors in main area were old and look like they had lube all over them, my friends room had all the same issue, the handicap lift for pool was broken, and I’m handicapped, couldn’t be used. The umbrelllas kept blowing away because they weren’t bolted to bottom base, the food was not that great and coffee was horrible, I come once a month to Sarasota and stay at choice hotel at fruitville road and 75, that place was clean and presentable. I’m sorry but I know only $289.00 for 2 rooms in off season but really not a great deal The whole building needs upgraded, door jams warn, the front counter was clean but looked dirty, Fernando was nice but the girl who was on before him was not nice, I’m a English only speaking client and she just left us standing at the counter for a good 45 seconds before she acknowledged our presence and who knows what she was saying because she just kept talking to Fernando and not us. Maybe the district managers should go look at those buildings? Maybe stay there one night and see how dirty it is. You guys better clean up your act or you’ll be the new motel 6.
