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 reviewThe location was not the best but is ok. The rooms were clean.
Breakfast was pretty bad. Cold boiled eggs was the only protein they offer. The halls were not clean. The pool was not clean. This hotel is expensive for the value. Next time in Sarasota I will look for other hotels to stay.
Thank you, Lauren, for your feedback. We’re glad you found the rooms clean, but we’re sorry to hear about the breakfast and cleanliness concerns. We’ll review these areas with our team to improve. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back with a better experience.

Verified reviewThere was nothing nice about this property.
I would NOT recommend anyone to stay at this horrible hotel. It’s obviously a budget hotel but shesh! The staff here are incredibly RUDE!! They all have disgusting attitudes and behave as if you’re irritating them when you ask a question. They are not friendly nor helpful at all. We hand to run housekeeping down just to get the rooms cleaned. No one should go there. There’s better options elsewhere. Oh and they charged me a $50 hidden fee that they did not tell me about beforehand.
Thank you, Christavie, for taking the time to leave a response. As explained over the phone, it was a damage fee to the room. We do have it listed on every site that we can charge up to $250 for damages, and we were unable to tell you before you departed as we only found the damages after you had left the property. We appreciate the insight you provided when we reviewed staff issues, you stated that check in was pleasant, but you had other issues, and we will investigate this further and strive to improve our team's customer service. Your feedback is invaluable to us.

Verified reviewBooked a room here last minute after my deeply inconsiderate sister tried to sneak her girlfriend into our shared room without telling me. At the ripe age of 30, and after extensive time in therapy, I’m too old to put up with nonsense, particularly from selfish 22yros with no tact or remorse for the ways in which their actions harm others, and determined that it’d be best to remove myself from the situation. Spark was accommodating to my last minute stay and the staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Speaking of which, do you all have any openings? Perhaps my sister should get a job here so she can learn a thing or two about kindness and respecting others…
Thank you, Esther, for your kind words. We’re so glad we could provide a comfortable and welcoming stay during your last-minute visit. Our team will be thrilled to hear your compliments about their helpfulness and hospitality. We hope to see you again soon.
