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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The whole experience, room, dining and lobby, etc. was above average, in fact very good. But for the price I was expecting a little bit more, but still we enjoyed our stay very much. We would go back again.
The continental breakfast was good. Muffins, yogurt, fruit, coffee and juice. Nothing over the top, but quality of what was there was very good. Room was clean, not too big, definitely above average. Location was very good and in walking distance of a lot of restaurants.

$17 so my husband can have a bowl of cereal. It's now normal to expect wifi, cable, at least, with room rate.
Only thing I did not like is the mandatory $17 for breakfast, which I did not eat. All cold, nothing appealing, coffee was weak, went out and got my own java instead after trying both coffee blends.

Bathroom Shelve in room 305 was so dusty you could write your name in the dust. Some ort stuck on the side of the bathroom vanity near the toilet looked like blood or bodily fluid.😞
Clean smelling sheets. Room wasn’t too hot or cold. Didn’t hear traffic noise.

Staff cleaned the floors during breakfast. The cleaning smell was overpowering and rather unpleasant while trying to enjoy breakfast.
Breakfast was simple/basic but the granola was good. Tea was good. Staff were very friendly. Beds were comfortable. There was daily housekeeping. Location was great and the hotel building was beautiful and tastefully decorated. Free parking right outside the hotel overnite worked out perfectly (I had to move my car at 9 am but that was never a problem). There were lots of restaurants to choose from within walking distance. Mexican by the hotel had great soup and fast friendly service. The Peruvian place was so good we went there twice!

Parking procedure is a bit involved (using an offsite garage), though the guys were good about retrieving the car quickly. The breakfast choices are limited for a hotel as nice as this one is.
Staff was amazing without exception, and a great location.

Everything was great - no recommendations for improvement
Hotel E is a completely renovated property, the hotel building was the historic old courthouse situated on a very nice, tidy town square. It's clear that the owner invested a great deal in converting the property into a fine boutique hotel, completely modernized in that way that honors the history, preserving some historic touches but has the upscale modern aesthetic too. They invested in high end finishes in their renovation. The rooms, large enough while still compact, included a very spacious bathroom with a double wide shower. Each room has a very sizeable flat screen TV, beds were quite comfortable, and linens and window treatments were very good quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There are many restaurants a quick walk from the hotel (we enjoyed Ca Biana a few blocks away in an old Victorian house), the 6th Street Playhouse presents plays most Thur-Sun, and there's even a small Escape Room experience at the shopping mall right behind the hotel. The Luther Burbank House & Gardens in a 5-minute walk, Charles Schultz ("Peanuts" creator) Museum in 10 minutes by car, and Safari West is 17 minutes NE by car. The Armstrong Redwood preserve is 30 minutes by car, with a delightful stop for lunch at the Altamont General Store in Occidental and stroll through Sebastopol on the way back to Santa Rosa. We did all those activities in two and a half days without feeling rushed, and the Hotel E is the perfect home base for all. And do try Mo'z, a wonderful newly opened restaurant (open 8 a.m - 9 p.m.) in a renovated building just across the Old Courthouse Square from the hotel. The food was delicious and the owner, Mo, seemed so authentically delighted that we dined there and enjoyed our experience so much. All in all, even though I don't have future plans to visit Santa Rosa, I'd certainly welcome another opportunity to stay at Hotel E.

Night time city street noise proved bothersome. Double-pane windows would remedy this. Also, television channel selection was plentiful yet terrible. HDMI cables for connecting travelers’ computers would be an inexpensive fix, allowing guests to access their own premium offerings.
Clean and friendly. Ideally located.
