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 StatesEntry area and part of the lobby area was under construction for updates. It wasn’t an inconvenience, just not expected. Wonderful room and well equipped with the exception of the shower head . It was dismal.
The hotel was beautiful and had a wonderful parking garage. Many restaurants within walking distance.

United StatesOur room was very comfortable, but we thought the in-room 'kitchenette' was overkill. Also, it would have been nice to have a nightstand on both sides of the bed. A King bed would have been nice too.
Great location in Old Town Wichita! It's close to quite a few restaurants, brewpubs and bars, most of which were unfortunately closed on Monday when we stayed there. This part of Wichita was really a pleasant surprise having never been there before and also having no serious expectations. It was very quiet during our stay - eerily so, given the downtown location. The hotel itself was formerly a factory and featured a lot of interesting memorabilia from those days. The free parking right next door was excellent. We appreciated the cleanliness of the city as well.

The beauty of the lobby entranced me. The French coffee in the room? C'est bon! Bath products received A+....Loved the way the washcloths were folded which added to the decor. Also, safety after 8:00....I had to be buzzed in by staff.

United StatesWhen booking, there was no indication that the hotel was remodeling 2 of its 4 floors. There was no noise to worry about, but the dumpster in the front of the hotel and the cardboard-wrapped elevators took away from enjoying the facility. The rooms on the 4th floor which are the ones available appear to have been recently renovated, however, the carpet in the hallway is way past its prime. In addition, there were no lamps by the bed in our particular room, and the AC was very loud throughout the night.
The hotel's location is quite convenient to a number of bars and restaurants. The 4th floor room was comfortable and had a great view of a courtyard across the street.

United StatesThe bed was super uncomfortable and every time you used the sink or toilet the pipes rattled terribly. Also there was no counter in the bathroom so no where to put any of your stuff.
The atmosphere was neat.

United StatesThere was hardly anyone staying in the hotel, but for some reason, they put us in a room just about as far away from the elevator as possible. They put us on the 3rd floor with a crappy view of an alley. OK, one night, we can live with that. However - the 4th floor and other parts of the hotel are under renovation. We were woken up in the morning around 8 am to extremely loud construction noises. It sounded like they were literally drilling and hammering on the ceiling of our room. The bed seemed too small to be a queen, and wasn't very comfortable.
The location was perfect for us, within walking distance to old towne bars and restaurants. The staff was friendly, and the property was beautiful. The room was very nice, with old fashioned decor. The bathroom was huge, and the toiletries smelled good.

United StatesStaff was not the least bit friendly!
The breakfast was a joke. They changed $15 for a skimpy buffet that other hotels give at no charge. Needless to say nobody was eating it. The staff was not very friendly. They were cold and impersonal. Would not stay there again. We need a room for tomorrow in the same city, but will stay at another hotel.
