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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Well, to be in philly and not have live security OR a bolt lock available on your door was a bit concerning for me. Also, there was no warning about the 3 story walk up with no elevator, carrying luggage (for some people this would be literally impossible.
Located in a great hipster neighborhood of restaurants and shops and cafes. Huge space, very well appointed and decorated. The french press made us feel at home.

Parking can be tricky. The area could also be a little tricky but didn't take long to figure the best way to venture. We also had a front room and the train went by directly outside our window. The hotel did provide ear plugs and a sound machine. Really wasn't that much of a bother.
There is no onsite staff but they go above and beyond to make sure you have all the necessary information as well as information on the surrounding area. The room itself was great! Beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, and clean.

It’s Philly so it’s sketchy anywhere you go. But fishtown is my favorite area of town.
The space is excellent, having a kitchen is great. It the style, decor was great. Much better than staying at a regular boring hotel room.

Front door is not very well labeled (no text, only the hotel's logo, which I didn't recognize) so we missed it at first. Parking was also a bit hit or miss, the two recommended lots/garages filled up quickly in the evening.
Very stylish rooms. Loved the contactless check-in and check-out. Room has a kitchen and just about everything you could want. Train noise was minimal in our room, just a low rumble.

Hotel is next to a train line, which could be an issue if you are a light sleeper. It really wasn't that loud though, it didn't wake me during the night. I also appreciate the staff reached out to us beforehand to tell us about it.
Room had a great layout and everything in it was great quality. The location was great, walking distance from the show we were in town to see. The morning we checked out, there was lots of brunch spots around to go to. Lot's of great resources in the room to help you figure everything out.

It could have had more “creature comforts” I always really appreciate water bottles In the fridge and small snacks especially if it’s been a long travel day and my hotel is the first destination between landing and going out.
I really liked the location.

The Garden Jawn bed seemed to be on a angle so one side was a bit "off". The heat was really tough to control too. Towel hooks in bathroom are too low (bottom of towel can't help but rest along floor). But otherwise, it was a lovely stay. Pretty loud though as guests move up and down the stairs (drunk). In fact, one woman fell down the stairs and you could hear it very easily in the room.
Location was close to many great restaurants. Parking lot was close too. Value seems pretty good. Love the space. Can't wait to come back. We'll be back in a few weeks as we've already booked another stay there.

The Sonos app on the iPad was in need of an update in order to work. There was no access to the App Store so I was unable to update it and therefore unable to play any music during the stay, which, considering the room rate, was disappointing. Please make sure to check that all electronics are in full working order before each new guest.
Location was cool and up and coming. Very beautifully appointed. Great soup on the corner at Good Spoon. Excellent shower in the Garden Jawn. The garden itself was lovely.
