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):
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.
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.).

United StatesMusic from lobby was a bit too loud for sleeping. Would prefer brighter lighting in the bathroom.
Complimentary Breakfast was much better than expected. It beat the usual industry standard by a long shot! The Bistro breakfast sandwiches were healthy and delicious. Other meals were also gourmet quality.

United StatesThe only complaint I have is that i had to make the pull out bed up there were no sheets on it or anything. Other than that I really don't have anything else to complain about.
Loved the room! It was so clean and the breakfast we had from the bistro was delish.

United StatesAs a guest, I was told to park within the designated guest parking marked with orange cones. The rest of the hotel parking lot they sell out for Stadium Events. I parked where designated. I had a guest parking pass on my dash. I talked to the male parking attendant with him asking to confirm I was a guest as I was leaving my car. While at Kinnick the hotel called three times(very loud inside the stadium). I finally answer the call and I am told I need to come move my car or they will tow it. I can't leave the event at Kinnick as I will not be let back in. I share that with the Courtyard employee. She said she will try to make sure they don't tow my car, but couldn't confirm that they wouldn't tow it. THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS AT THE EVENT I WAS WORRIED THAT I WAS GOING TO COME BACK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT BE THERE. There were at least 3 other cars parked similarly. I parked behind the orange cones as they stated. This should never have happened. The male parking attendant had the opportunity when he confirmed I was a guest to ask me to park perpendicular(to get more cars parked for the event) vs parallel as the parking lines indicated. There were other cars parked parallel when we parked. It really made what was supposed to be a fun, carefree day, not so much.
Great location for Kinnick Stadium.

United StatesIncluded-by-booking.com "continental breakfast" required us to stop at front desk for tickets each day, was not described on any in-room documents. We regretted our first-day choices, opted for the $10 credit towards fuller breakfast menu our second day.
Location across from UI medical center was ideal for us. Room layout and features were great. On-site Bistro was convenient.

United StatesReserved a King room far in advance and got stuck in a wheelchair ready room. I don’t mind it for the most part but the shower was a problem. I could not comfortably take a shower without a large amount of water draining out so had to make curbing out of towels.
Smells wonderful! Just makes you happy and comfortable to enter. Well taken care of and nicely decorated.
