Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThere's no one in the house if you need assistance. We needed to store our luggage somewhere before changing rooms and it was hard to get a reply. The rooms and bathrooms are not deep cleaned between stays.
We stayed 2 nights in 2 different rooms, they were both spacious with bathrooms inside, the house looked nice, the kitchen could be used. Entering the house and rooms was easy with the codes. The neighborhood was quite and pretty centric.

Nice location. Rooms are not small and mattress is comfortable enough. Kitchen is equipped with basics allowing for some small cooking if you so desire. For what I paid it was nice.

I stayed for 2 nights with my wife. Place was spotless! We had one main table, which we used mainly to eat, and a desk perfect for the laptop. Nice and clean bathroom. Great location! We could find parking a few blocks from the apartment.

United States of AmericaThis is an old town house that was nicely renovated, but there is not too much of sound isolation between rooms. Also, our room had a big gap between the door and the floor, so you could hear what is going on in the hallway and around. Reducing sound leaks will be beneficial for comfortable stay.
Free parking closed by. Just pay attention to parking hour restrictions. Room is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is spotless.

United States of AmericaThey need to put in some new curtains and blinds that keep out the light. Nothing closes completely and the room lights up at the crack of dawn. I don’t like that there are no individual per room temperature controls. It wasn’t a problem but I imagine it could be for some who require different heat or cold than the general public. It’s central to the entire place.
I was pleasantly surprised that the property lived up to its excellent reviews. Easy to access. The room was large very well decorated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. It’s like a cross between a boutique hotel, a BnB, and an Airbnb with a full well appointed community kitchen on the first floor. The location is excellent for any activity in the Philadelphia area. The cost value is marvelous. And you don’t have to pay for parking. Plenty of street parking and we came in after 2 AM. I will be back on future visits to Philadelphia.

United States of AmericaThere was a lovely kitchen, but I saw absolutely no breakfast. I suppose I could've cooked something if I had anything, but I did not have anything and there was nothing available that I saw. Wasn't expecting that. Ran out of hot water in the morning shower. Parking was not as easy as expected - much of the area was 2 hr only. The temperature in the building was set and unchangeable, but could've been a touch warmer. The place was sparse and not too cozy.
Info about getting in was smooth and clear. The place was amazingly clean and crisp. Spacious.

United States of Americathere are some sketchy Neighborhoods close by. The room was nice and clean, but can tell they do not keep it up as much as maybe is needed. The blinds on the window were broken. The bathroom faucet was loose. In general a very nice place though, and just needs a little up keep.
Nice building and location is in a convenient location

Location not too far from centre. Beautiful rooms, especially the ones with terrace. Instructions and communication via Booking App is timely.

GermanyWhen we entered the house with the code we were given, the alarm went on and we didn’t know how to turn it off. We pressed a number and after 5 minutes it started a again. We pressed a different number because there was no phone number to contact the hosts, as we were communicating with messages and the response from the host wasn’t fast enough to help us with this issue. Although the room was clean enough as I said, the bathroom was equipped with the bare minimum. Like, we got very small and worn out towels and just one per person. (there were no extras really). Unfortunately, the internet was not working properly. The first night we couldn’t fall asleep, because there was a very disturbing alarm going on from the street (which wasn’t really the hosts fault) but after we contacted them that night that we would like to change the room since we were the only guests in three floors house with many rooms in it, and there was a complete radio silence from the hosts. The second night we woke up around 4 because there was shouting and screaming right on our street and the police was chasing some people. So, it does gave us the chills that maybe the neighborhood was a bit sketchy.
The place was clean, the location was pretty central so we could walk to most of the places, there was a free street parking one of two blocks away.
