Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

Beautiful historic hotel, in a good location. Several options for eating and shopping within 3 minutes walk. The Sea Bean Cafe is very good for breakfast and lunch. Sea Life Center is also just 3 minutes walk. Free shuttle from the train station and to the cruise terminal. Seward is very beautiful, surrounded by awesome mountains and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.

United States of AmericaThe room was very small and had a sink right next to bed, it was very awkward , and a bit difficult during the night to use the restroom. Restroom actually has 2 doors, one to our room, and the other to the adjourning room. That made it very easy to hear what people in the other room were talking about. Not much of a soundproofing. The reception people were very slow on both check in and check out.
The hotel is conveniently located at the end of the street, away from all the noise yet close enough to the tourist street with restaurants and shops. Lobby has nice chairs and couches, very local theme. The bed was very comfortable with nice soft pillows. We had our private bathroom.

United States of AmericaNot a complaint - front desk was having technical problems with their 'key machine,' but did an excellent job adapting.
Atmosphere of the 'old wing' was all one would hope for - a bit of being back in the glory days of Seward. Very helpful staff. Great location in the center of town.

United States of AmericaLittle things were off that could easily be spruced up. 1) The electric fireplace lights worked but it didn’t heat. 2) The shower head was VERY old, which is great for aesthetics, but soaking it in vinegar would open up all of the plugged holes. So again…nothing costly, just some time to tend to some details. But, all in all a great place and would recommend to anyone!
Everything was very clean, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the location is great.
