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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The breakfast was very limited unfortunately. A lot of cakes, but few healthy choices. We stayed for a week, and we stopped eating there at the end and rather ate out instead. Also very bad English knowledge. I think maybe one staff member spoke English and they did not work in the restaurant. Otherwise everyone was very friendly and did their best.
We really liked the rooms, very spacious and clean. The location was great as well. It was only a short walk to Paulista Avenue and the area felt very safe as well.

Nothing.
Very nice building and room in the heart of SP. The building has a mixed use: Airbnbs and hotel. The facilities are not new but they are very well maintained and everything is kept very clean and in super good shape. The room was very big and with a lovely view over the city from out window (12th floor). The area was superb, very residential, felt safe and super close to downtown (barely 10 mins walking).

The breakfast staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good, but there is some room for improvement in terms of variety.
Very nice location, and friendly, helpful staff (restaurant, cleaning, front desk) ready to accommodate and facilitate guests' requests. It allows you to get around central São Paulo efficiently, and within easy reach of both airports (avoiding rush hour).

Unfortunately, the quality of the restaurant in this unit still leaves something to be desired as breakfast is included in the stay, I need to record the opportunity for improvement here.
The front desk staffing did an amazing job with a warmer welcoming to myself and my wife at the check in offering a good experience all the way thru my stay.

Check in was a slow process and unfortunately, the member of staff checking my daughter and I in was not very warm or welcoming.
The location is good walking distance to some of the highlights - Paulista Avenue, Museum of Art of Sao Paulo on Paulista Avenue and close to GRU airport. Breakfast is included and offers a variety of choice. The reception area is really inviting and modern!
