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...).

LOVE the DryBar soap/lotion/shampoo/conditioner!! The room was spacious, bathroom area was so high end & super nice. I would highly recommend staying here. I am single, traveling alone & felt VERY safe.

United States of AmericaThe shower temp kept fluctuating and they only have valet parking for 35$ a night
I love the decor. The pillows are really nice. The bed was comfortable too. The water kept going to cold while I was showering so that was annoying. Other than that I would stay again but they only have valet parking so if you don't want to pay to park your car then you will have to find your own parking and it will likely be somewhere a couple blocks away. Luckily though this hotel is close to enough to a lot of things that we walked.

United States of AmericaThe only issue is the rooms. The bathroom is basically open floor plan except for the toilet. So if you were hoping to take a shower with privacy, there is no such option. Also a lack of hooks and only 3 hangars leads me to believe the designer never actually stayed in the room with a partner.
Overall great location and cute hotel. The bartender is fantastic and friendly. Has great recommendations. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

United States of AmericaThe property is in a good location. The rooms are “compact” but comfortable. Modern. The walls are thin. We could hear the neighbors on either side, open and close their shades. The staff could have been more friendly. We specifically chose the hotel bc we were told you had EV chargers. Well, the apartment building next door has the charger and it barely brought our charge up to 50%, overnight. This was a little frustrating. Fortunately, one of the local Hannaford‘s has a charger that we could use. The bar area looked nice, but we did not have a chance to give it a try because it was pretty busy.

CanadaRoom decor is strange, opened the door to the room and felt like we were walking into an office. Room didnt have toilet paper, had to call the front desk and ask as there were no supplies in the room. Ocean view is a stretch, there is another building and industrial area in-front of the sliver of water you can see.
Great location, beds were super comfy, loved the high ceilings and the black out blinds worked great in the morning. Lots of natural light and windows during the day

United States of AmericaThe bathroom being mostly part of the open room was a bit awkward (the sink and shower area was divided off by a partial wall). A sliding door to the small toilet alcove is not something we're fans of anywhere, as it doesn't feel like it offers enough privacy. And, while the room had a cool, modern feel, the mostly bare floor and high ceiling did make it feel a bit echoy at times.
We loved our stay at Aloft. The common areas were clean, and comfortable. The room felt very clean, and modern. The decor was fun! The bed was SO comfortable. We loved that the tv was on a moveable mount, so it could be easy to view from all areas. The view of the water was nice, too! We spent some time playing pool in the lounge area, and ordered drinks at the bar. The drinks were fantastic, and we loved getting to relax at the hotel. The fact that the hotel is just on the edge of the main Old Port area made it convenient enough to walk to great shops and restaurants, but not so in the middle of everything we felt overwhelmed.
