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 only complaint I have is every morning at breakfast the TV was on Fox news which I find extremely aggravating and usually avoid at all costs but otherwise things were fine.
This hotel had all the things I like when traveling. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was ok and it had a small indoor pool and a bigger outdoor pool that were nice.

The breakfast was not so good. Not enough variety & gross eggs. We asked for a balcony expecting a view of the river, but instead got a view of construction on an old house with no river view:( we asked if we could switch rooms and the desk lady said no. ALSO, we had a random lady come into our room! She said she couldn’t get her key to work on her door, so she went to the front desk and asked them for a new key, when they asked her for her room number she mistakenly said our room number. The front desk then gave her our room key, and the lady mistakenly unlocked our door & entered our room. It was very scary to think that anyone could ask for a room key and just be given it without checking for ID or proof that it’s their room. Very unprofessional & made us feel like our things were not safe as anyone could get our room key. I hope they fix this issue & never let this happen again.
The property seemed clean and in a good area. I saw a lot of bad reviews for AC, but our AC worked AMAZING, it was actually too cold! But it was very loud I will say.

The outside pool had ALOT of algae in it to the point we didn’t feel like we wanted to use it. This growth didn’t happen overnight. With temps in the high 90’s it would have been wonderful to cool off in the pool. I don’t think it had any chlorine in it.
It was really convenient to the things we wanted to do. The balcony was nice and was shaded in the afternoon. Room was clean for the most part. There were a few areas that could have used extra attention. Breakfast was ok. Parking was ok too. Inside pool was alright.

I didn't like the older white lady at the front desk that checked us in. I had to go back to the front desk Saturday to get our room keys reprogrammed because they wouldn't open the door for us to get in the room and she had a very poor attitude she was also throwing stuff at another person checking in. She also brought her son to sit in the lobby while she worked which I believe is not a good work ethic
I have really liked this place. It has comfortable beds and nice place to stay for the value.
