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 StatesHallway smelled like urine. Other customers were complaining while we were checking in of keys not being correct and a little girl accidentally walked in on a different couple having sex. Also complaining of uncleanliness in rooms. Our specific room was all right. Our television did not work, however.
It was a king size bed

United StatesThat's the thing. There was no breakfast. I was told the juice machine broke and there was really no breakfast whatsoever which is part of what we paid for as part of the room. So we wake up thinking we could get a bite and go about our day and nothing. We had to go waste time to go out and find breakfast before getting on with a busy day. Very dissappointing. Also there was a woman drunk and yelling off the balcony above us for about an hour at 3 am. I don't see how the staff could not have known. They were yelling at other people in the parking lot as well.

United StatesTrash in the hallways, trash at the entrances. On-line I reserved a King size bed, after checking in, the bed was a Queen for my wife and I. We were so tired, I didn't get it changed just went to bed. This place is in dire need of good management skills. I can take a place maybe a little run down over time. But cleanliness is a must, and this place wasn't clean. Wanted to leave after arriving, wont stay there again.
Slept good.

United StatesThe room wasn't very clean. The carpets were dirty (walking on them barefoot left grey stains on the bathtub when you get into it and it looked as if it hadn't been properly vacuumed (let alone shampooed) for years. There was a strong and unpleasant chemical odor when I moved in; the room had just been attended to -- bed made, surfaces wiped down -- and the front desk clerk claimed it was air freshener. If so, it was industrial strength and I felt it in my throat. I kept the fan vent in the bathroom going at full blast, and it had dissipated by evening. I was also told the room cleaner had sprayed it on the carpet, which does nothing to clean the carpet but presumably masks other odors. Better by far to vacuum the carpet and shampoo it when business is at a low ebb. The toilet was a little loose (not tightly secured) and the toilet seat wasn't securely fastened either. The TV remote didn't work (not that I cared about that). The point is a lack of attention to details.
The clerk at the front desk was welcoming and pleasant, and did her best to oblige. It was cheap (and you get what you pay for).

United StatesThere was a luggie on the wall there was hair all over the bathroom sink and the bathroom wasn't clean because there was a qtip in the shower frame the shower was dirty and no hot water then the water pressure was horrible. The water would come out normal then I would have no water except a trickle for a while then it would do it all over again. I take a 15-20 min shower and it took me 45 mins - an hour. I was late to the venue to get ready for the wedding I was in. The best part of the hotel was the desk receptionist was very nice. Someone had dogs barking in the hotel.
It was close to the venue

United StatesI have guilt writing this part of the review but it might spare someone in the future. Frankly, the hotel itself has seen better days. The room I had gave a new, literal meaning to drop ceiling. I was afraid a rat would parachute from the stained and misaligned ceiling tiles. Sounds like a joke, but I slept with the light on as a result. The smell in the bathroom was…I’ll just say: constant. It reminded me of a distant memory visiting a loved-one in an 80s nursing home. I had to hold my breath to use that room. The carpet turned my slippers soles black. The pool wasn’t filled in summer but featured in photos. Pretty pricy for what it delivered.
Best thing about this place = the staff. Super friendly and helpful. The wifi works. It’s in a good central location, close to the turnpike.

They did provide breakfast of packaged pastries. The location was good and there were several nice restaurants very close to the hotel. The check in person was very friendly and informative. The room was basically clean and they did provide shampoo and lotion.
