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.).

BrazilThe beds could be more comfortable, I found the mattress to be old and not enough support. Also, there were days where the housekeeping was not up to standard, even though they did leave everything clean, they forgot lights on and towels out of place in bathroom 2 days out of 5.
The staff is very welcoming and nice and ready to help.

United KingdomNo Tea and coffee in the room (we were given kettle on night 3 which we were grateful for). Going down in morning to lobby for hot drink was annoying and there was no hot water for tea on one occasion and no normal tea bags. We are so used to European hotels providing this in the room. View was a building site. Found TV quite complicated to use and it felt like too many things carried an extra cost.
Room was very comfortable - quiet, airy, great size, good quality bedding. Slept very well and we enjoyed being in it! Lifts were fantastic, never had to wait very long. Liked the atmosphere - although lobby quite dark. Staff friendly and helpful. Walked there from station and found our way round easily.

The location of the hotel is perfect when visiting Boston. Lots of dining options and things to do are very close. The history of the hotel makes it very charming and comfortable. The lobby bar is one of my favorite places to get a cocktail in Boston. Very nice staff.

I came back to The Lenox because I had a fantastic experience when I stayed there in 2019. The experience is unchanged: it's a beautiful place, super location, but most importantly: a fantastic team. I don't know how they do it: every staff member you meet is genuinely interested, friendly and helpful. A super dedicated team that is trying their utmost to make you feel at home.

Three nights in Boston and our accommodation at the Lenox hotel was perfect for us. Everything we wanted was within walking distance including restaurants, shops, parks, places of interest including the harbour. Even our car hire from Hertz was only a 5 minute walk to the Westin Copley hotel.

IrelandOne small thing but it wasn't a problem, no kettle or tea and coffee in the room. There was plenty of complementry tea and coffee available in the lobby which was great but awkward to travel the lift with hot beverages.
The staff were extremely courteous and friendly. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the decor was fantastic, it felt as though we were back in time with all the modern comforts.
