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.).

We asked for an iron, but it never arrived and no explanation was given. On checking on this at reception, the one was too busy putting on makeup and the other two were too busy chatting, so why bother? The room was not spacious and the lighting was odd, but the bathroom was nice.
Location: near ChinaTown, BellasArtes, and the Foreign Ministry. Good restaurant.

The room was a bit warm, no ac but a ceiling fan and a floor fan. I would try for a north facing room. Power in the hotel was iffy, during the morning rush. Staff was very helpful.
La Bufa , the attached restaurant had a great weekend buffet, all the delicious Mexican breakfast items. The A La Carte menu was also very good value on weekdays. The location was great, 7 blocks to the Zocalo, two blocks to the Palaise de Belles Artes, (and metro) The tour to Teotihuacán picked up right at the hotel. China town was adjacent, excellent pastor taco stand around the corner! The Jacaranda trees were in bloom, it was great.

only issue really was fan only had one speed ..high .. we didn’t use ..but in the warmer months I think it would be hot or noisy with fan .
Location was good .. whilst it can a bit daunting after 9pm .. it is well located for accessing the central district and as such is amazing value. Hotel generally in good condition and staff nice and helpful.

The elevator that can be heard in various parts of the hotel. If that can be fixed, the hotel would be close to perfect. The wi-fi is OK. Like many things in Mexico it is a bit slower than I might have wanted, but it was workable.
I've been back to this hotel at least 4 or 5 times. This was my longest stay. One of their elevators was quite noisy and my room was near it. I complained and they responded immediately and courteously and changed my room to a quieter one. The staff members are friendly and responsive and this makes my stay there enjoyable. My waiter, Sergio, speaks enough English so that this non-Spanish speaker could feel at ease in the hotel's restaurant. The hotel is in a busy part of town and Mexico City is very busy. Be prepared for lots of people, Chinese food nearby, and nearby museums and the Alameda Park.

Lack of air conditioning in the room, just a fan on the ceiling circulating the warm air in the room, because of the noise from china town was almost impossible to keep the small ventilation window open ( but it was Chinese new year) maybe quieter outside of this time
Nice location in the historic quarter, in the heart of china town, nice reception and good value for money, nice breakfast in the restaurant and good service

The walls of the hotel in Mexico are thin, you can hear the neighbors talking. Luckily my neighbors are quiet.
Change bed sheets everyday, very clean. The staff are friendly. Easy walking distance to Zócalo.
