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 StatesParking was very expensive. There was 1 cup of coffee per person in the room, then we had to stand in line and purchase expensive coffee at the adjacent restaurant.
Loved the daily complimentary drink at the bar. Very elegant and unique decor. Great location and easy walk to restaurants, historic attractions and public transportation. The room was excellent. The work out room was good.

FinlandMy recent stay at The Godfrey Hotel in Boston was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I entered the sleek and modern lobby, I knew I was in for a treat. The rooms exuded contemporary elegance, with stylish decor and plush amenities that made me feel right at home. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the room, from the comfortable bedding to the state-of-the-art technology. The hotel's location in the heart of downtown Boston was ideal, offering easy access to top attractions, dining, and shopping destinations. Whether I was exploring the historic streets of Beacon Hill or indulging in some retail therapy on Newbury Street, everything was just a stone's throw away. The staff at The Godfrey Hotel were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every need. From check-in to check-out, they went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. Overall, The Godfrey Hotel in Boston exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, this luxurious oasis in the heart of the city is sure to impress.

CanadaThe mattress wasn't great, and should be replaced. Just a bit squishy on one side.
The room was lovely, comfortable, and quiet. I was upgraded when I arrived, at no additional charge, which was nice. Location was good, close to lots of activities and restaurants. Staff was kind and friendly.

Switzerlandfor one night - nothing to complain about
Only stayed one night in the hotel. location was great - walking distance to South Station (train). The room was spacious, the bathroom big, with everything you need. Everything seemed very clean - I felt well in the room. The free water and snacks in the room was a nice plus. Furthermore, I enjoyed the complimentary drink at the hotel bar. The staff at the door and at the reception was professional and very friendly. Nothing to complain about.

IrelandDelighted with our stay at the Godfrey. The location was perfect as a short trip from the airport and centrally located to shops, bars and restaurants. It was also in close proximity to Boston Commons and subway stations. The room we selected was extremely spacious and spotless. The complimentary bottles of water were a nice bonus and we used the coffee shop connected to the hotel for some quality refreshments to start each day. Staff were very friendly and happy to help if you needed anything. Would love to stay here again if we return to Boston.

United StatesCloset/armoir was in a narrow point in the room, outside the bathroom, so kind of a choke point when traveling with two. Not many hooks for hanging up towels, etc.
Very well put together - interesting decor, not overdone. Changing floor mats in elevator (Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening) a nice touch. High quality fixtures and well run overall.

United StatesIf there’s anything to criticize it would be that the view was of an old and rickety part of the building. Also just worth noting that the staff at the coffee place was nowhere near as friendly and attentive, sometimes even aloof and negligent.
The minibar amenities (water, snacks and coffee were included), the two complimentary cocktails for happy hour, the door staff was amazing!, the workout facility had lots of options and the sparkling flavored water station was the bomb, and the craft coffee connected to the lobby.
