Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesThe breakfast offering was the worst I have encountered in pretty much any hotel I have stayed at. Nasty powdered eggs, no fruit, the orange juice dispensed lightly colored water. Very disappointed,

United StatesThe breakfast was not great (really it was probably about the same as most hotels, but fake omelets sitting in a pan of water was not appealing). The property could use a fresh coat of paint in certain areas.
Good location, clean rooms, great staff. Very nice sitting area outside by the fire pit.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have some disposable cups for my kid in the bathroom. The TV was in the weirdest place ever no one could really see it. There was some dirt and hair in the bathroom. 215 a night was insane for that small room, and the pool area was kinda gross. Vending machines would have been nice to have. The table was broken/missing a wheel so it tipped over. Everything else was fine.

United StatesUnfortunately, the bad outweighed the good on this stay. The TV screen was damaged so it was impossible to watch, which at the time was not a deal breaker as I had my iPad with me. The sink was slow draining in the bathroom which again not a huge deal as these rooms have a kitchenette with a sink which did work fine. However, when I went to use the shower in the morning, I found out quickly that the tub was also slow draining. To top that off, the soap was missing from the dispenser in the shower. The only soap I had was a facial bar from the sink. At least the shampoo was full. One final thought - when I checked out, the front desk person was busy so I only got to talk to what I assume was cleaning staff. While they took a note of my issues with the room, they offered no apology or explanation for the problems I experienced.
Location was great being adjacent to the mall. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with decent selection of items. Room looked very nice and seemed well accommodated. Bed was comfortable.

United StatesSee above
The gentleman at checkup was knowledgeable I had paid for 3 rooms prior and went to 3rd party, booking.com, the other lady at front desk wanted my card to check in, I had told her and verified that I had already paid. She needed the other person’s assistance to make sure I wasn’t going to get charged again. I’m curious how much goes to booking.com. That was disappointing

United Statesit’s just plain dirty. The couch in our room, obviously had been chewed on by a dog. The material on the couch was chewed off all the way down to the wood. The breakfast area had not been cleaned up from the night before. Plastic silverware broken on the floor, wrappers on the floor, the tables were sticky, as you go outside the trash is overflowing and there’s garbage throughout the front patio. When I sat down to work on my computer, I had to find my own rags from the bathroom so I could wipe the table off. As for the staff, I said good morning to two of them. No response. I even said to the person setting the breakfast out, “looks good”, and she did not respond at all. We will not be back.
The location is great for West Moines

United StatesTub didn't drain in the bathroom at all....had little floaties in the water when it wouldn't drain. Dried, stuck on contact lens on the bathroom floor....which means the floor wasn't cleaned. Breakfast was less than average. Especially for a total price of 230 per night....AFTER our reservation was messed up.
