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 StatesThe elevator was dirty and outdated - at least change the chrome or try to polish it. It was all scratched up. The hallways were dirty. There was trash falling out of the trash bins and on the floor. We told front desk and they said they didn't have cleaning crew at 7pm...what? The vents had huge dust balls and clogged up. We asked for the vent to be cleaned because my spouse has asthma, they offered us wipes or move us to another room. The ac didn't work. It was a 90 degree day with a warm room. The windows were extremely dirty meaning there was film on them and you could see that whoever had stayed had drawn on the windows. We had to ask for another room. They moved us next door to a smaller room at the Hilton which was very nice, nonetheless. However, I was charged twice for both hotels rather than the one night. Now, I'm left with dealing with the extra charge to be removed.
PPL w/dogs and smoking at entrance. The hotel interior was dirty. No parking on premise - far away. The rooms and hallways were dirty. There were ppl being housed there and it seemed more like an apt bldg rather than a hotel.

United StatesWhat’s not to like? I’ve stayed in hotels and Airbnb’s around the world and I give this one my highest recommendation.
Let me tell you all about how good my experience was staying at this hotel ☺️ Not only was I a visitor from Chicago, but upon checking in, Tony (I believe was the hotel’s manager) accommodated me by allowing a late check in (2am to be exact) after my flight was delayed from leaving Chicago. Not only did she place a hold on the room so that it wouldn’t be sold, but she was so graceful and nice to talk to following checkout that morning. I would highly recommend visiting this hotel and working with Tony. The staff is very friendly, the rooms were very clean and spacious, and overall customer service was a 10/10. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to all my Chicago friends and family. Thanks again Tony!! This property was beyond my expectations! Great location, a view of the lake right outside your window, clean, updated, all facilities in tact and working, and THE STAFF (every staff member was more than helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate us).

United StatesAlthough this has nothing to do with the staff at the Homewood suites who was simply excellent, It would not take much for the Hilton facility immediately next door to the Homewood Suites to have a sign pointing to the Homewood suites. Upon arrival after 1 am and upon seeing the sign with the address that read Hilton and Homewood Suites, we unloaded my elderly parents only to be told that the Homewood Suites was next door. Had the existing sign with a self parking arrow pointing toward the director on the Homewood suites simply had "Homewood Suites" under that arrow, this inconvenience would not have occurred. Clearly we are not the first customers to mention this. Please note, upon turning onto the hotel street (Stout I think), the sign reads Hilton and Homewood Suites making one assume the properties were connected. Thank you.
Staff was very professional and courteous. They went out of their way to remember the guests names and needs. Breakfast was well stocked and tasty. The parking in and out privileges were a bonus and the rate was reasonable for a major City.

United StatesNo ice in the ice machine. The people in the room next to me were yelling, arguing, and fussing. Children were screaming too. That was not pleasant on my last day there as I was reflecting on my time there.
The atmosphere, the check-in experience, the cleanliness of the room, as well as the view were AMAZING! The amenities really added a special feel as well. I would definitely come here again for personal and business where necessary.

United StatesUnfortunately there was only 1 working elevator when I visited and when I tried to use the working elevator after 4pm I would have to wait anywhere from 10-15 minutes and usually would just take the stairs.
I really enjoyed the suite style rooms and the option to park in the parking lot for $13 a night. Street parking was not always available so this was extremely convenient.

United StatesOur first room on Thursday night was 508. It was very warm, there were no glasses or dishes in the kitchen. No wastebasket. Toilet was dirty. Door lock battery went dead on the door. We were out Thursday night and didn't get back until late, so nothing could be done until Friday. The maintenance man was super great and quick to respond. He deserves kudos as he got us moved to a better room 704. The manager was not as concerned about our stay and less concerned about making things "right." We should have not have been charged for Thursday night and I still expect that to occur.
The second room was good and the responsiveness of the maintenance man was great.

United StatesThis is just a personal preference but the lighting in the bathroom was very dim. I prefer brighter lights. Also, there needs to be more hooks/hanging bars to put towels/wash clothes on in the bathroom. One hook isn’t enough. That being said, it was still a great hotel.
I love it’s proximity to local colleges and highways. It’s conveniently located near City Ave so I was able to easily find restaurants and things to do in the area.
