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.).

Food standard in the cafe area just OK, not very warm hot food. Reception area for check-in overwhelmed with not enough staff to check guests in when we arrived, early evening. Long wait 30 minutes plus, however once at the desk service was efficient, informative and helpful.
Rooms very clean and tidy, well stocked bathroom/vanity area. Noisy party next door, could hear lots of noise through the wall this did disrupt sleep.

You can hear the room next door and above - but in honesty this wasn’t an issue for myself. The bar was a little pricey and similar to theme park beer costs - but if you venture on to international drive it’s cheaper.
Really great location - Uber to Disney wasn’t too expensive and the Shuttle to Universal was perfect - complimented by early park access. For the cost the facilities were very clean / more than ample in terms of room set-up.

The only problem we had was that the towel rack outside of the shower kept falling on the floor and I had to keep putting it back to other everyday.
The suite was so spacious and I loved the high ceilings. I loved how the pool was heated and so relaxing after a long day of walking. The cafeteria was also so convenient and the food there was delicipus..The shower seat was a plus for me because I have problems standing in one place at times and it was very relaxing to be able to sit down in the shower.

Minor issues. Air con in public areas and corridors was too cold. Lifts could take 5 mins to arrive at times. House keeping didn't mop or hoover floors of suites. Felt very dusty and bitty.
Excellent transportation to the parks and other universal hotels. Great pools with plenty of beds. Two bedroom suites were a great size for 4/5 people and excellent value. House keeping everyday, made beds and delivery of fresh towels daily.

Could use better kitchen plates and utensils. Bus lines in morning can be better organized for Epic. More shelter for shade at bus lines would be better too.

Check in/check in area always had a queue throughout the stay. The day we arrived something went wrong on the system so everyone in the hotel couldn’t access there room so needed to queue up to sort their room key, this meant 1.5 hour wait for us to check in, this after a 10 hour flight is not ideal.
Clean and handy. Rooms were great, room was cleaned every day, the food was great, lots of choice, the buses came regularly and extremely reliable! 100% recommend. I even purchased some express pass on site for epic.

Check in involved a very long line. We got around it by checking our bags at luggage and checking in later in the day. The lack of help getting a luggage trolly… when my 79 year old physically disabled husband requested one, he was told to go look on the other floors for one. When my granddaughters went to the arcade, they invested $8 on a playing card and then found out they needed to put in $12 more to even start using the card. No refund and, when I told the “text concierge,” I was not offered a refund. $8 is not a lot for the hotel to lose but it is for children who used their own money.
We liked the access to Universal, the room was clean and comfortable; the pool was beautiful. A variety of food is available on the property in a huge but efficient cafeteria.
