Each 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):
- 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...).

The hallways were dark, stairwells were narrow, and the elevator was tiny.
The breakfast was fresh and warm with a good variety of warm and cold foods to choose from, though the coffee left something to be desired.

The room they put us in, had a major leak around the window. Wall was falling apart and caving in. We dealt with rain all weekend and the dealt with being sick the entire week after we got home bc of breathing in that black mold and mildew.
Liked that we weren't disturbed by house keeping or anything like that.

I'm happy
This place is a little run down but I was informed it was being updated. However,I am not a picky person and my family and I were treated like family the lady was so sweet and kind. She did everything possible to insure we were comfortable. When I come back to Springfield, this is where I will stay. The breakfast not so good, would have rather had a good donut and coffee but my choice, I went to restaurant. Thank you.

I wouldn't want to stay more than a night and wouldn't want to stay for a nice night out. Simple hotel but a little run down/shabby.
Easy to get in and out of, nice location. Affordable. Perfect for a one night trip without high expectations.

I could not STAY asleep for anything and I’m fairly certain my husband never got to sleep. We were put in a handicapped accessible room right by the hall door. It squeaked SO BADLY every time someone went through. We had the late night groups going through until 3am, and then the early morning groups starting at 6am! We got MAYBE 2-3 hours of sleep. Somebody needs to WD40 that door. I wish I could upload the video of the door! We should have just contacted the front about changing rooms, but a 2AM room swap just seemed more daunting. Now I know we would have gotten more sleep had we just swapped rooms!
The room was good enough. The beds were comfy enough, and I was able to fall asleep. The pool was cute, but we didn’t come for leisure and hadn’t brought our suits. The breakfast was ok. It was a pretty standard continental with some extra hot items kind of spread. The coffee was good. That’s the important part!
