Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaWe found some dirty plates in the dishwasher left by previous guest. The pool was kinda meh to be honest, a jacuzzi would've been nice ...
We found plenty of parking spots outside the hotel where you have the meters. The meters run 8 AM to 8 PM so I recommend that if you don't plan on spending too much time inside the hotel. The room offered a lot more than we expected. The Suite with King Bed had an expandable couch that could turn into a comfy bed, toaster, utensils, plates, pans, an electric stove, iron, even dish washer etc ... The price was quite affordable.

United States of AmericaNothing. It was fabulous.
Breakfast was extensive and delicious! Rooms were clean and comfortable. I'm not used to my hotel rooms having a stovetop and full fridge, very cool. Not that far a walk from the main Seaport drag.

IrelandNoise insulation in the hotel is not perfect (walls seem okay, but the doors let through sound), but it's always a challenge in an affordable hotel that might not have the most experienced hotel guests. Having a sign by the elevators asking people to be quite in the corridors during sleeping hours... maybe even dimming the lights a little at night in the corridors, might help. It's fundamentally a guest management issue.
Great experience. Busy hotel, still with that new car smell. It has hard-working staff, excellent facilities for the price and was great value.

United States of AmericaThe property backs on a DHS facility. And parking was outside behind the hotel. They should have EV chargers available there.
Creative eco friendly atmosphere everywhere. They were even growing lettuce & other greens with compostable bags for guests to collect them in. Breakfasts were delicious & varied, indoor pool was great, staff was warm and helpful! The bed was a real joy to sleep in!

United Kingdom"2022/2023 Breakfast cooked by chef to your specification. 2023/24 Precooked placed under heated lamps after apparent health inspection found no sink for chef to wash hands. Unable to install sink due to cost. Portable hand wash system available at low cost brought in during COVID could have used one of those. Lame excuse for not cooking breakfast in front of customer.
Nice apartment large fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher. Room was adequate for what we needed. Kept clean daily by cleaner. Pool open this year and a good sized gym.

United States of AmericaWe didn't love the location - a little further away from the city than we expected. We disliked being charged $54 to park for less than 24 hours. The breakfast was just okay. There were some egg sandwiches that looked really good but... they had corn beef hash on them. Yuck!
The room was clean and well equipped. It was interesting having essentially a full kitchen in the room - we didn't really need it but it was nice to have. The staff was lovely and we really enjoying staying there.

United States of AmericaThe housekeeping cleaned my room but when I looked under the sheets the crumbs from my ‘breakfast in bed’ were still there. Also, the housekeeping doesn’t tidy your room, e.g. folding away the blanket on the couch or putting back the iron stand.

United States of AmericaThere weren't very many amenities in the room, i.e. bath robe, shower cap. Also the location is a bit out of the city; pretty much had to take a Lyft to get anywhere.
The facility was clean, the staff was exceptional and it had great amenities! Espresso coffee machine was amazing and a decent continental breakfast. The bed was comfortable. And the room size was prefect. There is a full kitchen in each room! Free bikes to use, which was great fun! Hotel with a pool was great, loved that amenity. Great stay!
