Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

City of Memphis Tn has a huge crime issue… the hotel needs more security; especially in the parking lot. Cars were broken into and valuables stolen out of them.
🙂Location of businesses on and near Overton Square.. walking distance is a PLUS - no motor transportation is needed!! 😇

The rude front desk. It seemed as though no one working there understood they worked at a hotel. When I called for an extra blanket it took four hours to get one, and when I asked for hot water to make tea they told me it was impossible to get any. I would have ordered tea, but the older front desk woman became irate when I had instacarted a small carry on and didn’t want to get barked at for ordering postmates.
Upstairs bar was okay but the process to get up there was miserable.

the staff was not especially helpful. requests for extra coffee pods took 3 calls to accomplish. room was cleaned halfway- only some items attended to. no food options unless you use the restaurant- no room service, in room bar, or even soda/snack machine, I was referred down the street to a gas station at 10 pm to get a soda or snack. few in room amenities. great facility but service was lacking. service not matching up to facilities.
The facilities are very nice . rooms clean and quiet- although no bathtubs. close to the areas I needed to be in . gym is nice.

Originally I booked a room with two queen beds. there was long and short hair all over one bed and makeup on the pillow case and short hair all over the second bed. One member of the staff was extremely rude but I reported her to higher management and Jasmine was amazing ! (See above for the good stuff)
The aesthetic of the hotel is top tier. Plenty of beautiful selfies. Amazing breakfast and kitchen staff. I was upgraded to a suite because after having my sheets changed there was still hair on them. Jasmine upgraded my room and apologized. She ensured the rest of the stay went amazing. The entire kitchen staff was so nice ! The other guests were amazing. the music was so pretty and the Christmas spirit was everywhere! aside from those beginning hiccups the stay was nice. Had Jasmine not been there I would have left. Also a member of the housecleaning who came to change the sheets the first time was so nice ! she listened and changed the sheets without any questions, unfortunately they still had hair on them.
