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 StatesBreakfast could have been better, but this style of breakfast is expected in a hotel. The eggs were rubbery and the biscuits were hard. It's still a notch above just a continental breakfast!
Very clean! and pleasant smell. A very good first impression! I loved the esthetics of the hotel lobby as soon as I came in. It had a very sleek retro-look! Rooms were clean and quiet. Beds were extremely comfortable!

United StatesThe breakfast was fantastic. A nice variety of food and allowed us to eat and get on with our day. Kelly who was working the breakfast area was fantastic. She was very attentive to keeping everything filled and was a super nice person. She was always smiling and wanted you to have a fantastic experience. Kelly is someone I would hire in a second and I have hired a lot of people in the business world. I hope she is valued at Sleep Inn. I even heard a guest say to her "why are you so nice"?

United StatesPrice wasn't honored, and although I was promised it would be fixed before my final billing, it never was. I still need to comb through my credit card statements to make sure we weren't charged by both Booking, and the hotel directly. As we've been extremely busy with a tumultuous move, I've not had the opportunity to do so yet. But they did charge me about $12 extra power night, and as mentioned, they did not fix it on the final statement. The last night we stayed was unanticipated, and because it ran into a weekend, we were charged MUCH more for that one! The beds were not very comfortable, in all honesty, and we could feel metal springs that were harsh, but the pillows were okay. There weren't enough towels for 3 people to shower, even though the room was rated for 4, as there were Two queen beds. I requested more, and extra bath mats as well, but only received a couple more towels. Water pressure was anemic, at best, and not refreshing, even as we were sweaty and exhausted. One of the reasons we started in a hotel was because the air conditioner was down in the house we were moving out of, and we really needed it to be good. I secondary would have been better just showing over there! And at one point, we did just that. I do wish there been an actual blanket, not just the comforter and sheet. The sheets were cheap microfiber, and they were both hot sleeping and not very breathable. Yet they didn't quite provide enough by themselves, and the comforters ended up folded beside the beds for the whole stay. The air conditioner fought to keep up, it seemed. It "worked" but not particularly efficiently
It was a good location for my needs. I stayed for several nights with my two teenagers as we worked on moving out of a home around the corner from Mills Civic. They did accommodate us at approx 1:am-- our requirements for a room with two beds, as one of the teens is a son, the other a daughter who slept with me, but my reservation made earlier in the evening through Booking.com, was "lost" and the price wasn't honored. I'm not entirely sure that was truthful, Since Booking shows my stay. Breakfast was decent the couple times we ate it. The room was alright. It was fairly clean.
