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 StatesNice location, felt safe and within easy walking distance of metro, eateries and convenience store. Clean and very spacious room. Easy check in and out. Lockers for luggage storage were available and I used them both prior to check in and after check out. The air conditioning did break down for the last 2 days of my stay but fans were already available in the room, we received prompt communications on the status and staff were present during the day to hand out cold drinks. It was an unfortunate break down in a week of 80s-90s temps but I felt it was well managed

The kitchen, location was pretty decent, didn’t have far to walk to certain things.

United StatesThe temperature was consistently freezing. It seemed the thermostat was broken. Even when I set the temperature to 90°F and put on the "Heat On" setting, the fan blasted cold air, whether on low, medium, or high. I had to set the thermostat to "Off" and settle for cool DC weather. I froze at all times in the room for my entire 4-day stay. As nice as the room was, I dreaded going back to it bc it was colder inside than out. In the bathroom, there is shampoo, conditioner and body wash, but it seemed someone had broken the shampoo pump and, since the bottle is fixed to the wall, it couldn't be removed to unscrew the top, so it couldn't be used. Regarding the luggage storage space, it is very dirty and unsavory with old garbage laying around in it, as well as weird building pieces, like maintenance used it to store old parts and forgot about them. Looks like no one has ever remodeled or cleaned it, which is disappointing for how much is being charged for this hotel. This storage space (and lobby) is a stark contrast to the pristine room. Be aware, too, that there are 4 steep, narrow steps immediately in front of the storage door, so if you can't lift your luggage, you can't use this locked space. I would have told someone about the thermostat, etc, but there is no reception desk or greeting staff to ask for help. This is not apparent on the website or booking - it would be better to know in advance that there will be no one to ask for help, instead of wondering the whole time how to get help when you're so busy on your trip.
Amazing location, approx. 5-min walk to Farragut North metro, 7-min walk to Farragut West metro (easy paved walk with suitcase coming on blue line from Reagan Airport) and to Dupont Circle, 10-min walk to the White House, food store 1 min around the corner, and loads of restaurants and cafes to walk to in 0-10 mins. Room was exceptionally clean and tastefully modern; kitchenette stocked with all basic cook and dining wares, toaster, kettle, dishsoap, etc. Regarding the TV, not a bad thing but would have been good to know that it is only Roku without regular programming, and you rely mainly on your own streaming subscriptions to sign in with, like Netflix, Hulu, etc. Great water pressure in shower - no problem for thick hair!

SwitzerlandDigital Check-in process was not so easy, did not work, had to email and call but staff was friendly and rather efficient. Also we had to enter the code several times in the key pad at entrance and at the lift before it worked I advise strongly: 1) Take your time before arrival to do the check in (don't do it last minute, and for non US resident with mobile phone roaming costs: make sure you have wifi or data package to be able to check in and call the staff in case of issue) 2) Download the Sonder Quincy app and set up the Mobile Key App before arrival: the keypad was not working well. Noise: A problem with the room is that it had a plain door that joined with a neighboring room. The door had no sealing and no soundproofing. We could perfectly hear our neighbor's phone conversations. After she spoke loudly for a while and it was late, we decided to ask her to be more silent. She complied. We, too, had to be careful to be silent. There was also occasional noise from the corridor but we were lucky to stay at an end. Overall door soundproofing should be improved. But no noise from outside.
Spacious room, large bed, Location 20'-30'-40' on foot from Washington DC Museum zone, very close to metro station West Faregut which is on Silver line, direct line to/from Dulles airport), Kitchen well equipped (with kettle, toaster, sugar, salt, pepper, kitchen towel, sponge, dishwasher soap, enough plates and mugs, good basic cooking tools, etc...) Clean, After 1st entry digital check in and physical keypad problems (see below), entrance was easy with the Mobile Key App Rather efficient digital/phone staff support Good value for money because of location and comfort Washington DC luggage storage offers both alternative: - a large room at the entrance lobby to use with building code (keep it as Mobile key App is not available anymore after check out) - several lockers at the entrance lobby too to use with own code (Note: Sonder also gives you discount on some external luggage storage company but it is closed... on Sundays...) In general, I was anxious because of some of the Booking negative reviews, some proved to be wrong (Luggage storage and kitchen equipment better than expected) and some proved to be right (Check in process, see my advise below, and incidental noise from inside) There is no staff but a lot of info in the Silver / Quincy App (which is where the Mobile Key is): like where to get additional towels in the building etc... Also in the morning there is the cleaning staff (don't forget to tip her/him :-)) you can ask.
