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 StatesLack of room price availability/transparency; hotel source itself would not match Booking.com, Expedia, Priceline or similar service quotes; each service offered different rates; persons in same party paid from $400 to $175 per night for same type rooms and amenities. This situation may have depended on when reservations were made. Three elevators insufficient for hotel this size when it is nearly full - though in fairness had to wait only about 30% of time for another car and stay was during Spring Break.
Outstanding staff from reception to bar in terms of immediate service and hospitable attitude. Room accessibility & amenities; bathroom water temp & lighting, included breakfast variety. Of our group of about 30 people, all but 2 were pleased with this hotel.

United StatesThe front desk staff was hit or miss, we had problems at check in. Our room was hot, musty & smelly. The AC hadn't been turned on.The associate was completely unsympathetic and flatly declared there was no other room. Fortunately the maintenance man was so efficient and got the unit working . The smell faded but never went away. Several front desk people were helpful with the,shuttle etc others were totally disinterested . One elevator never worked during our 3 day stay.
The breakfast was very good and the,staff hard working and efficient. The hotel is conveniently located to Busch Gardens and the shuttle to the park eliminates the expense and hassle of parking. Matt, the driver, is excellent & works,with you to coordinate drop off & pick up. The pool area was nice and bigger than the pictures. The suite rooms are big and good for families. The microwave & fridge are a bonus. I've stayed here before & will stay again.

United StatesThe phones didn’t work so we couldn’t use room service and when we called with our cell phones to the lobby it kept on disconnecting. Then the next day our ac and some power went out, we couldn’t call. We were checking out within the next few hours so I mentioned it when I checked out. Seemed like the front desk person was a little frustrated from other “complaints “.
Staff and breakfast was amazing!

United StatesI didn’t like that the price was not the same as quoted on Bookings. They also charged $12 a night for parking in a suburban parking lot that they owned which wasn’t that nice. They also charged a $1 a night fee for the USF campus . Overall. the price was too expensive.
The property was older but attractive with a little wear and tear but the suites were comfortable.

United StatesWhen 4 people are in a room please give 4 sets of towels! Hotels tend not to do that automatically. Also our kids slept in the front room (fold-out couch) but we had to run the fan all night b/c there was so much noise from the central atrium; better sound control at the room door would help!
Spacious, attractive hotel w/ a huge central courtyard w/ attractive plants and fountains. Friendly staff, ample parking, big hot and cold breakfast buffet. Room was large too w/ good views. Big fitness room. Close to Busch Gardens.
