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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe towels are rough, not soft. The comforter is so thin it’s like just having a sheet and it was cold. There was very little water pressure in the shower. The art bar was entirely disappointing and out of most food both days. It’s not really an option for breakfast.
It’s a good location and the rooms are large and have good furniture. Also it’s nice they give you bottles of water.

Loved the location’s proximity to Rittenhouse Square and to excellent restaurants. Loved the fitness center. The property could be cleaner - the general property- not the room, which was fine, and staff more welcoming.

NetherlandsThe room was clean in general, but when I reached for the sockets on the floor between the bed and the table next to it, there were tangled cables, and everything was under a thick layer of dust - that was a bit unpleasant. The bathroom was clean, but the shower drain didn't work well; at the end of the shower, I would always stand in a puddle of water. I visited the gym twice, and some of the machines were not working. The lady who helped me when checking in was not particularly welcoming and also not well-informed about facilities.
The Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square is a comfortable and conveniently located hotel; ideal for exploring the historic parts of Philadelphia, the museums, and the gay neighborhood. The room was spacious and the bed was very good.

United StatesThe location was perfect. Just a couple blocks from Rittenhouse Square and centrally located to our daughter's apartment and all the places we visited. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the shower pressure was excellent. The room was not overly spacious but more than adequate. The housekeeping staff was very friendly. Quick and smooth check in and out process. The room was quiet at night.

United StatesThe bathroom is...questionable. There's no vent in the shower and it just seems... Gross. It wasn't dirty but it just seems like an afterthought. I'm not expecting five star luxury, but it wasn't any better than a cheap motel.
The beds are very comfortable. My husband and I both have back issues and slept very well. The sheets are soft and breathable. The room was small but we were only there to sleep so it didn't matter. I like the mini fridge. It was nice to be able to store cold drinks.
