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 reviewVery close to the Navy Base
I could hear very well people on the other rooms but still it was comfortable. I was in the first floor and the room was small but I had good nights sleep.
Dear Vargas, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear that you appreciated our convenient location near the Navy Base and that you were able to get a good night’s sleep during your stay. Many guests choose us for that very reason, and it’s wonderful to know it made your visit easier. We appreciate your honesty about the room size and sound from nearby rooms. While our first-floor rooms can be a bit more compact and occasionally experience more hallway or room noise, we're happy to hear that you still found the stay comfortable overall. Your feedback helps us identify areas where we can continue to improve the guest experience, and we’ll certainly take this into account as we work on future upgrades and improvements. If you happen to stay with us again in the future, please feel free to request a room on an upper floor — those rooms tend to be quieter and slightly more spacious, and we’d be happy to accommodate that whenever availability allows. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to the area! Warm regards, Hotel Management Team Sleep Inn

The rooms were old, the shower was dirty and the bathroom had cracks and things in the walls. The room didn’t smell to good and just felt dirty.
Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that our location near the base was convenient for your visit—that’s something many of our guests appreciate, and we’re pleased it worked well for you. However, we’re truly sorry that your experience with the room did not meet expectations. Cleanliness and comfort are top priorities for us, and it’s disappointing to learn that your room fell short in several areas. Please accept our sincere apologies for the condition of the shower, the overall feel of the room, and the early check-in fee that felt unreasonable under the circumstances. While early check-in does depend on availability and staffing, we understand how frustrating that must have felt, especially if the room was already ready. Your comments are being shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to address the cleanliness concerns and physical condition of the room. We’re also reviewing our front desk policies to ensure that early check-in charges are applied fairly and clearly communicated. We value your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to deliver the improved experience you deserve. Warm regards, Sleep Inn Lake Bluff Management Team

I also loved that they had a complementary breakfast starting the morning of NSI at 5:30 a.m. that included a waffle station, crepes, boiled eggs, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, coffee and tea, cereal, etc. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us as we left a jacket in the room and didn't realize until we were at the airport and they graciously called me and shipped it to me. Amazing customer service!
