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 StatesWell this wasn’t the properties fault lol it’s built on a HUGE HILL and when me and my husband went to walk to get some food and just to explore honey I was completely out of breath and tired. It was so hilly. I felt like I was exercising LITERALLY. But like I said that’s not the property fault that’s because BHAM is basically built on HILLS.
Wow!! Where do I start. The whole place was just awesome. I loved everything about this hotel. It was surrounded by all kinds of eateries so that was a number one! Also the rooms are so nice and clean. I had no complaints whatsoever. And the front desk was even better. Some really sweet people. We have to go back on next week, and we will be staying back here praying if something is available.

United StatesI had no complaints at all.
The hotel is very convenient to both UAB and St. Vincent’s hospitals. Despite being close to hospitals, it was quiet, rarely hearing ambulances and other traffic. Traffic in the area was light, making it easy to drive around. There is a restaurant across the street and other restaurants close by. The room was ideal for a prolonged stay, with a decently equipped kitchenette and plenty of room in the bedroom and living room for 2people. The hotel has a small market with a few frozen dinners, drinks and snacks. There is a Publix nearby. We had forgotten to turn on the ice maker, but there was an ice machine, so we had all we needed. There are also coin-operated washers and dryers for those who need them. The best thing about the hotel, however, is the staff. The young gentleman who checked us in was very helpful and patient. Even though I had forgotten my hearing aids and he had to repeat several things multiple times, he was unfailingly polite and patient, and he efficiently took care of a mistake I’d made on our booking. The lady who handles the breakfast went out of her way to find some yogurt for me and was quite helpful and very kind. The lady at the desk when we checked out was also very pleasant. Even the young man bringing up the laundry from the basement wished my husband, who’d just had surgery, a speedy recovery.
