How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEverything was great, particularly the welcoming front desk receptionist! Room was comfortable and clean. Good location for the conference I was attending. Parking was easy, very walkable.
There was no elevator to my room, which was a bit of a hassle with a suitcase. I don't think this is the case for all the rooms and I OK'd it since I was able to check in early.
Hello! So glad you were able to enjoy your stay and that we were able to get you in early. I hope you had a good time at your conference. We hope to host you again in the future!

Verified reviewThe interior is fun with a lot of history. The art is funky, in a good way. We had a large room on the 6th floor with a balcony over the Spanish Steps and a view of the water. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked well. Great water flow in the shower. Free coffee in the morning. Many bars and restaurants to choose from in the building. Good food! Good location. Rail line stops there (didn't use it) and shops and restaurants are two blocks down the hill. The staff is so friendly!!! Julie (front desk) upgraded us without asking. I would go back to Tacoma just to stay there again, but without a car!
The parking is practically non existent. The free coffee from the 6th floor was weak and luke warm. However, the coffee in The Pub was good, strong and hot. The lighting in the room is very dim.
Hello! We're so glad you enjoyed many aspects of this building! Thank you for your feedback on the coffee and parking. We are looking into our coffee and making sure its always hot and strong.

Verified reviewGreat location, unique decor, comfortable bed, and friendly staff.
Noise from concerts can be heard at night and during rehearsals--it is also a venue so keep that in mind when booking.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay! Being a music venue, depending on what is happening in the Ballroom, music can be heard throughout the building. Cheers!

Verified reviewLocation and outdoor spaces
"Atrium" rooms have only interior windows that can be looked through (if your curtains are open) as people explore the hotel. No outside light gets into the room. It's misleading in the pictures.
Thank you for your feedback. Have a great day!

Verified reviewThe atmosphere was amazing. All employees were friendly and helpful.
Should be warned that you can hear the concert in the hotel rooms. Luckily they don't play that late.
Thank you for your review. Being a music venue as well as a hotel does mean sometimes music can be heard late into the evening. We hope to see you again!
