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 StatesEverything was great—no complaints— just be aware that it‘s at least a half hour walk to historic sites. Also I suggest providing a couple kitchen towels and washcloths, as it is hard to wash dishes with paper towels. It is expensive but similar to the cost of nearby hotels and with more amenities.
Great to have kitchenette with Keurig coffee maker in room; comfortable bed; very quiet, residential street; good continental breakfast with coffee and tea machine accessible all day; very friendly and helpful staff, personal atmosphere; good location for shopping and conferences, airport bus and public transport

the room was exactly what i needed for my trip and was so comfortable. the kitchen was well-stocked and i appreciated the full-sized fridge/freezer. the workout room was also very nice and convenient.

United StatesOur only suggestions: a few screw holes in the walls where fixtures had been removed need repair and the full size refrigerator was quite loud.
We enjoyed our stay at the Inn at St. Botolph very much. The location is fantastic - walking distance to the MFA and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the surrounding area is lovely! The Inn itself is very good. We were very comfortable and the complimentary breakfast was abundant and did the trick and the coffee, made with a self-serve espresso machine with frother was terrific! The bed and linens were excellent and we slept very well in this beautiful and quiet neighborhood! Also, the shower had great water pressure and an oversized shower head - really nice! In addition, Tom our concierge, was very helpful and gracious and allowed us to store our bags after check out while we went out for the day before heading home to NYC.

United StatesNeeded some handyman work. A screw fell out of the shower handle. The bathroom door did not latch closed and needed to be held. Some of the staff were superb (Thomas). Some of the staff needed some training to give local food recommendations.
Loved the location! The entire South end was very walkable and nearby restaurants were fantastic. (We went to The Salty Pig—delicious!). I loved the lobby with coffee and water always available. Kitchenettes in the rooms made it ideal for longer stays. Aesthetically beautiful, comfortable, unique. Not your average place!

United StatesPillows were a little too stiff and big for my comfort. I also found the TV remote a little confusing, but it most likely is my lack of technical knowledge and not the remote. 🙂
Breakfast was pretty good. Beds were comfy, but the pillows were a little too big for my comfort. The kitchenette was very well equipped, with more than enough room to move around comfortably. And while we did hear the rescue alarms and some screaming teenagers from the street a couple of times, it was pretty quiet and we heard no one in the hallways or other rooms. The hotel was secure and was close to a subway station and within walking distance of Fenway Park. I would and will stay here again!!!

BrazilI believe they are understaffed or perhaps this is the model for an “Inn”. The lounge is small and the complimentary breakfast misses a “what to/how to”. Again perhaps it follows the model of an “Inn”.
