How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The pool area was closed for renovations and there were paint or epoxy fumes that were pretty intense in some areas.
The property was updated, clean and comfortable. It was in a great location with easy access to many activities. The breakfast was standard, but there was plenty to choose from.

Breakfast could be better. I don’t eat eggs, just egg whites. The hot breakfast was scrambled eggs and pork sausages, which I don’t eat either. Healthier options are welcome; even if it’s just adding plant based sausages, veggie egg whites, and oatmeal.
I like the new look in the room and the lobby.

The gym area was very small, although it contained two elipticals and two bikes.
Breakfast was great and had the usual - eggs, meat of some kind, breads, cereal, juices, etc... Nice that breakfast went later than usual to 10am. Our double queen room was very spacious with lots of storage space (dresser, open closet, and shelves) including a sizeable mini fridge with a decent size freezer. The indoor pool area was actually one of the biggest and nicest I've seen. Big windows looking out onto a lawn, lots of tables surrounding, and a hot tub. I've noticed many hotels have closed their hot tubs during Covid and never opened them again, but this HoJo had it bubbling away-and it was bigger than normal. Very nice.

The shower could get an up date. The sauna didn’t had a shower on side. We had to go back into our the room. The breakfast was ok. There is room to improve.
We enjoyed our stay. The pool incl. hot tub was great. The spa area had a sauna too. The staff was always friendly, kind and helpful. Our room was clean. In only a few minutes you were in downtown Newport or the beach/water. We enjoyed to spend time in the lobby where they had a fire place. We slept heavenly in the comfy beds.

The dog friendly part of the hotel was a bit of a hike from the main hotel, but it wasn't that big of a deal.
The staff was super nice and even gave us a couple of dog treats when we checked in. There's an Applebee's attached so you don't have to walk outside during inclement weather. They had the usual self-serve hotel breakfast buffet. My son loved the waffles so much that I had to buy a waffle maker when we got home. :)

The hotel itself may look old from the outside but the room we were in was clean and updated. It is actually cleaner and updated than the most branded hotel i have checked in. I have been to different countries/places and it is the first time as far as i remember that the front desk called our room phone to check if we were doing ok..probably because we are not from the area. But it is a good gesture to make sure that the guests are comfortable. The price is affordable than the other hotels around the area.Location is convenient as well.
