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 StatesKinda feels more like a motel - windows face the corridor and open air atrium that looks down into the parking lot. We didn’t want to open our blinds to expose our room to anyone walking by, so there was pretty much no natural light and no view. Elevator is slow and the buttons don’t light up, so that was kind of confusing. Our shower didn’t drain properly at first (usually a result of a longtime plumbing issues) but the staff came and addressed this within a day. $45 per day valet parking is a rip off, and it took quite a while for my car to be retrieved. One guy worked the valet desk and the other guy was running back and forth to get cars, and there was always a queue of people waiting for their cars. Also there was no water fill machine - small thing that would be pretty easy to install and a nice (and pretty basic) amenity to have.
Great location - the main strip of little Italy as well as the waterfront are within walking distance, and there are good transit options nearby. Staff was attentive - not necessarily very warm and welcoming, but very quick to address any issues and accommodate when we had a plumbing issue.

United StatesIt’s worn down and a bit tired. Especially the bathroom. Also an odd layout and slow elevators, and stairs were a maze to access. Oh and the pool is about 6 feet long, but the roof lounge area is very nice.

United StatesOnce I reached my floor, the layout of the hotel felt more like cheap apartment blocks, a bit like tenement houses. There was a mild feeling that I could get jumped walking down their dark walkways to my apartment once you left the elevator. The fact that the building wasn't inclosed was a bit of a surprise. The front exterior is more of a facade making you think you’re entering a building. I didn’t care for the one, occasionally two bar(s) of cell coverage I was able to get in my room. I was also informed by the maid when I woke up after the first night that the hotel still had my room listed as ‘vacant’, which explained why I didn’t receive the wakeup car I had requested the night before. While there was body wash and shampoo container pumps provided in the showers, the body wash container barely had enough for one shower. This place was more like a hotel with motel like features and ammenties.
The best part was the convenience of everything around the hotel. Plenty of restaurants and points of interest with in walking distance, including a short walk either south towards Downtown or west towards the harbor. The bed was comfortable, at least on the first night.

United StatesThe level of noise from traffic off the freeway and housekeepers rolling their carts was an unwelcome wake up call all three mornings. Housekeeping came on my last day? What happened to room refresher daily?
Location and price point were great. Room was clean but needed a deep cleaning, long hair in the bathroom, floor was sticky in some spots.

United KingdomThe hand soap and shower gel dispensers were empty. The car park is overpriced given that one can park free of charge on the street nearby. The lift was unfeasibly slow, almost glacial.
The bar is excellent but it closes too early….

United StatesParking on site was $45. Also, booking on a third party booking website was not worth while in this case. The price on the hotel website was the same and included breakfast, which we didn’t get.

United StatesThere were issues in the bathroom; the mirror hung crooked, and there was rust on all the fixtures. The towels were thin, and there was rust on the mini fridge that was breaking on the floor. The first two nights, we struggled with a police incident next door and a hot water issue with our shower. The facility was a little rundown and not our normal standard of stay.
Clayton, the manager, is the best! He genuinely cares about customer experience. Clayton was very accommodating and had us return at a discounted price and stay in the suite!
