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 reviewGreat location for visiting the Mall. A comfortable but basic apartment.
A little more crockery e.g. bowls would help.
Thanks for your feedback, Margaret! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and comfort, and we’ll look into adding more crockery for future guests. Hope to host you again!

Verified reviewEverything was great except for a couple of relatively minor things. See next section for details.
1. Rooms need silverware. 2. Refridgerator had a high pitched screeching sound. 3. Our unit was quite warm when we arrived. We could not figure out how to adjust the thermostat to turn on A/C so had to open a window instead. Luckily the weather was perfect so this was not a problem.
Thanks for the feedback, Kyle! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We'll work on those minor issues to make your next visit even better.

Verified reviewLocation cannot be beaten. It's the perfect spot in Washington with access to every part of the city by metro. Great bed! Enchanting room. Superb. My second time staying in the exact same room!
The front door lock seems to work whenever it decides to.

Verified reviewA prime location a block from the Metro and The Pembrooke. The bar and dining scene at The Pembrooke is first class! During the storm the stairs were salted to ensure safety. The room was cozy and very comfortable for our stay and offered a nice view of the street from the bay window. The communication in preparation of our stay was excellent and set us up for success. The Welcome Letter and a couple of bottles of water in the room was a nice touch.
More toilet paper and kleenex. We would not be on-site when housekeeping was so it was difficult to request for more of these items. Having an additional comfortable seat or small couch would have been nice so we could watch TV together without sitting on the bed.

Verified reviewLocation. Close to Dupont Circle. Bed and pillows were very comfortable.
Keypad on the door doesn't look like one until you touch it to light up. Old style bathtub and shower, but it's fine. Easy to get used to it.

The interior door handle fell off. The chair is old and tired. Also, should have a small loveseat to accommodate two people if needed. TV instructions would be nice, printed out next to the TV

Verified reviewOK call me an old, naive midwesterner but until I got the e mail telling me about the 2 codes one for the door and one for the room I was UNAWARE OF A STAFFLESS HOTEL, I THOUGHT The address looked like a private home so I went TO another Sojourn address nearby. There was nothing on he door that said Sojourn or the fact that it was a hotel. the second location looked more like a hotel, I had left my phone in the Uber (got it back later)so I called your emergency number on the phone of one of the tennants who was nice enough to answer the door, I was then directed back to the other location and he was good enough to walk me back to the original location as it was nearly midnight by that time.
I had trouble getting in the door of my room, but with the help of another tennant I did. So folks you should let people know up front what the nature of your business is. That they must have 2 codes and how to enter the room code. TAlso the fact that there is no staff on site and most of all have your Sojourn sign on the door, I was in a residential neighborhood and thought it was a private home!!Yes the price was good but the hassle with not understanding what the nature of your business is was, was terrible.

Verified reviewgreat location, near metro, restaurants, bakery/coffee shop.
We are Senior couple and using an old cast iron tub/shower was challenging and slippery. Getting up and down narrow steps with luggage was a little challenging. Room could use another luggage rack. Bathroom sink can use maintenance...loose spout and very low water pressure.

Verified reviewNothing. We didn't stay in this hotel.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we discovered that they use a remote check-in system with no staff or administrator present. You have to upload your documents and a selfie through a third-party app, and it’s unclear where this data goes. The worst part was that there was construction in the hallways: dirt everywhere, workers walking around, and I got my shoes dirty. We tried to contact the hotel manager, but no one responded. Tired after a long journey, we waited for almost two hours with no answer. Eventually, we had to leave for another hotel. I strongly advise against staying at this hotel. The hotel REFUSED to refund our money. They did not address our situation at all and suggested we spend the night on a construction site.
