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 StatesIt would be nice to have a pool for the teen but we are fine without.
We always stay at the Mark Spencer when we visit Portland and we are never disappointed! Love the hotel, the staff, the awesome location. We park our car and walk everywhere.

United StatesI was surprised to hear about parking charge of $32.00 per day. that was not indicated anywhere. When booking this room through Booking.com it indicated that they had a privet parking. That increased the room charge by $32 per day. I don't like surprises. That should be mentioned before booking.
everything was good. The service and the room

United StatesI think that the only downside about this property is that their parking garage is kind of small. It is a one car width garage most of the way down, and is very intimidating to maneuver through (at least in my opinion, and as someone who was driving a compact car at the time).
This is the 2nd time I've stayed with this hotel and I'll will for sure be going back. The location is in a really good spot, plenty of things to do in the area or stops to take local transit, and there are options for breakfast both in the lobby or in your room. Both times I've stayed here I have been treated very nicely, and offered room upgrades at no additional cost.

GermanyOne street next to the hotel seemed to be a spot of substance dealers and/or users (visible from the room), but the blocks around the hotel were overall safe and the roads relatively quiet.
Great hotel in the center of Portland, in walking distance to many sites of interest and public transportation. Stylish and spacious room with a kitchenette. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff.

United StatesWe were kind of depending on the pull-out couch as one of our beds and it was totally unusable. Totally sloped in the middle so we had no choice but to sleep on the couch not pulled out.
Great area, right downtown near all of the restaurants and shops. Beautiful hotel with old charm but updated at the same time. Would stay here again just won’t use the pull out couch.

United StatesThe location is right in downtown, so we did see some folks using drugs close to the entrance. But that has nothing to do with the hotel itself.
Loved how quiet our room was! We were so cozy.

United KingdomWhen booking our extra night an additional deposit was taken. Despite the first deposit being received within days, we are still awaiting the second deposit. There could have been more places to hang damp towels.
We were very happy with our stay at The Mark Spencer Hotel. The room was large and the kitchen provided everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the addition of the robes was lovely. We found the use of their laundry facilities really helpful. The reception staff were very friendly and helped us with a good rate when booking an addtional night. The location was also ideal.

United StatesNo ADA access. So you have to drag your luggage up two small flights of stairs before you reach check in. Elevators are TINY and slow. The hotel is very old so there's that My heat didn't really work. The AC was nice however. No niche in the shower for my products No premium channels or PBS on the TV (not really a negative just a personal thing I have)
Great location, a block from Powells Real mini casement window that opened up, no screen tho. Has a coin laundry in the basement, no coins? Download the app they have on the washer. It's $2 for each Very well sound proofed. Can't hear anything unless the window is open and that's street noise. Mini fridge in room. Great water pressure, although it's a rain showerhead
