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 StatesA few things seemed not totally up to par at first with this property, mostly addressed quickly by staff: no bath towels in bathroom when I arrived on a Saturday evening (and finally delivered by housekeeping after nearly an hour); no ice in ice machines on my floor or floor above (found on floor below); no pods provided for espresso machine in room (remedied next day, when a different machine was installed, with Starbucks Verona sachets). There also is no hot breakfast on “club floors,” as promised on Booking description of services for my room type. McKinley at front desk listened to my query about this and said, with surprise, that the club floor service had been discontinued several years ago. I requested this complaint be forwarded to general manager, which she agreed to do. This issue is a significant oversight by the hotel, Booking, or both. Something was promised with reservation but never available at property. Breakfast places aren’t abounding in this neighborhood, and the adjoining Bluestone Cafe is generally crowded with long lines and is expensive. So a lack of an available breakfast at or near the hotel is a drawback. However, the assets of this property and staff do compensate for the shortcomings. In today’s expensive hotel market, The Warwick is a very good value in the best part of Center City Philadelphia.
Historic Rittenhouse Square hotel with excellent location, very accommodating staff, and spacious, quiet, and comfortable rooms (and three working elevators, so never a wait). Although the furniture doesn’t quite comport with the 1920’s architecture of the building, everything was more than adequate with comfortable bed, a desk/table, a sitting area, and a very large bathroom. Housekeeping service daily and excellent. McKinley, among other front desk staff, was super helpful and friendly, as were all doormen, including Steve, who knows how to get a taxi fast.

United StatesThey cleaned our room and took some towels and could not replenish them - so the two of us had one towel between us for the last night of our stay. We were told about about a $17 location fee per night when we arrived but it came with a $10 per day gift shop credit.
The location was excellent. The room was small but comfortable. Very nice fitness center.

United StatesOur room had seen better days. The furniture was all pretty beat up. The mattress was uncomfortable with many spots where springs could be felt poking through. The HVAC in our room always made the room feel muggy. We ended up turning the air on to try to dry it out. The air never seemed to cool the room and gave off a musty smell when running. The "iPhone Docking nightstand" was a joke. Apple changed the connector to lighting in 2012... but not this alarm clock, it wasn't changing for any phone. Yes, it still had the 30-pin dock. The "city view" was also questionable.
The staff is what made this hotel. Everyone was extremely welcoming. Everyone offered to bend over backward to help. The location was also great. The hotel was very clean even with some dated furnishings.

United StatesWe were charged an additional half day parking because we were given incorrect info by desk. Told 4pm and garage said it was 3pm. I did not challenge because we were already late in leaving. This was the only down part of the visit. Oh- the American flag outside was in disrepair which I though was unacceptable and disrespectful - especially in Philadelphia!!
Staff was superlative. Very friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable. Location is also very good.

United StatesOne thing I didn’t like was the ice machines on most floors aren’t working. So the one on my floor was out of service and the floor that the receptionist referred me to was also out of service. I went to another third floor where I finally got some ice. The only other thing was, no one told me about the amenities, I had to keep asking or surprisingly finding out. For example, I received a thirty dollar credit for staying at the hotel which I could have used for room service, or snacks at the front desk. I found out the minute I was checking out.
I loved the aesthetic of the hotel in general. The entrance has seating all around where guests can wait, work or socialize. It was clean and one of the few dog friendly hotels in the area. Staff was always helpful and kind when answering questions. Maintenance was also friendly and constantly checked on my needs. I was on the sixth floor so I had a nice view of the buildings and that area is pretty lovely. Multiple restaurants in short distances and different lounges/theaters near by. Ten outta ten.
