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 StatesThe only things I wish were better was the lock system on the room door. Each and every time we had to enter the code it took multiple times before the door would open. Some times we were there for several minutes trying to get in. The main door didn't give us any issues. Also, the tv was fixed to the wall. It would have been nice if it swiveled out to be able to watch it from the bed or a different angle within the room The elevator had a really strong unpleasant smell. Whatever fragrance they used in there was not to our liking and it was pretty intense.
Overall good visit. The location was great and close to everything we wanted to do. Everything was very clean from the hallways to the room. The staff communicated promptly with our check in details and to see if we needed anything for our stay. I loved the no onsite staff check in. We were able to just arrive enter our code and head to our room.

United Statestemperature was difficult to control.. our stay was in the winter months & we could not raise the temperature. due to the time we returned to our room, nobody was able to assist us until morning.
convenient location, self check in/out. very cute spot conveniently located but tucked away next to headhouse square & tla. there is a safe & affordable parking garage located right next door. the room had everything we needed for our short stay & was modern with a had a good aesthetic. the mattress & pillows were comfortable. the location was very quiet & safe.

CanadaNot having a physical concierge was good and bad at the same time. Check-in was very quick, no waiting around as access was given ahead of time. Communication via text was quickly responded too if anything came up. The room was not made as promised, but it was a Sunday and maybe just fell through the crack. A text prompt the next day quickly addressed the issue. The area in which the hotel is located is lovely and full of live during the day, but not so nice at night and the entrance is in the side street and pretty dark. As the code pad is not illuminated it is not that easy to plug in the access code to the building in the middle of the night, so a little sketchy, but all went well.
This is was not so much a hotel, but rather a home away from home, with eclectic, non-intrusive, individualistic design that as a guest makes you feel like a human. Definitely a nice landing pad after a long flight and to come back to after a long day in meetings/conference. The generous space and minimalist and functional, but not spartan, decorations and amenities provided a sense of calm. The place was spotless. Bed extremely comfortable.

United StatesTemp control was a little difficult to understand at first. Saturday night at 2-4 am there was a very loud street cleanup crew, 3 leaf blowers, something I've never seen before but ear plugs were provided. Would have liked some sort of security presence on Saturday night so close to South Street.
I liked everything about the room. Clean, comfortable, smelled nice, lights had dimmers, microwave, convenient cafe downstairs. Great snacks and amenities, Criterion Collection Roku channel.
