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 reviewAmazing room, very clean, comfortable bed. Light, airy, and spacious. The bathroom had a large choice of beauty products of good quality and featured a hair dryer. You have many good -quality towels and tea and coffee, sufficient for the length of your stay.
Their is no open door, so everything is with code to enter. There is no 24/7 reception, which is scary if you forget your pin to get in or want to check-in early or late. The personnel is very nice and helpful, if you are stuck at the door and they see you, they will help you.

Verified reviewGreat location within walking distance of the city centre and to two main metro stations. Comfortable bed and clean ablutions. Useful ironing facilities in room which was good! Fantastic clean communal space in the lobby including fridges to store food, water fountains, coffee machines etc to start your day!
Fire alarm system sounded every morning waking guests up at 5AM and was reported daily yet was not fixed and the 24 hour silencer kept timing out releasing a new set of alarms. Spare disposable cutlery and crockery were not left in public access so sometimes ran out and were therefore unavailable until staff arrived the next morning (0830). This could be a good addition to the ‘essentials’ locker.

Verified reviewBrilliant location which was a reasonable walk to The White House. Looked very pretty from the outside & had plenty of good eating places nearby. Also excellent value for money & wouldn’t hesitate coming back again. Excellent shower as well.
The room was slightly on the small side & the air conditioning was very loud & couldn’t seem to make cooler. The tv remote seemed to be broken & would only turn the tv on or off & couldn’t change channels - wasn’t a major problem as we only used it a short time in the evening.

Verified reviewIt's a cute hotel that is very reasonably priced. The rooms were a bit small, but they were very good value for the money. Everything was super clean. The neighbourhood was also quiet and clean, and a bus stops right outside that will take you to Franklin Square, which is close to many places of interest. The staff (Nathan) was very helpful. They have a nice common coffee lounge area, with refrigerators, ice machines, etc. There is a free locker facility downstairs. I needed a bit of an early check in , and they facilitated that with a smile! Will definitely stay here again.
The rooms were a bit small, and the window opened to an inner area, so real opening there. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Verified reviewIt was in a very nice part of DC, very walkable and easy to find. The staff was very helpful. The older gentleman at the front desk desk assisted with my every need and gave me a complimentary Coke.
The A/C in my room did not work. Staying here during the summer was such a bad idea. It made sleeping almost unbearable because i was so hot and sweaty. They gave me a fan to put in my room but that didn’t do too much but push hot air around. One of the nights I was booked to stay I actually ended up finding somewhere else to stay because I was just too hot. There was also no microwave or fridge in the room which absolutely sucked as well.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, found check-in simple, and appreciated the helpfulness of our staff. We are very sorry about the air conditioning issues you encountered during your stay. Repairs have since been made, and we are working to ensure all rooms remain comfortable for future guests. We also appreciate your comments about in-room amenities, which help us identify areas for improvement. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much better experience.

Verified reviewGreat location walking distance to so much and super handy to public transport! Earplugs provided which was helpful.
The air conditioning unit was very very loud, hence the ear plugs. It made it difficult to sleep. There was tea and coffee which was good, it would be great if they were replenished along with the cleans as we stayed a few nights, as well as the cups.
