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 response from lost and found was poor - basically, "we'll do our best," followed by no word at all, even after several queries.
We have visited this hotel many times over the years. When it switched from being a Marriott to Embassy Suites, we were afraid that it might be a change for the worse, but they have kept all the good things and improved on a few. For example, there is a group of friendly and dedicated ladies on the breakfast crew from the Marriott days - and they are still there, now some 12 - 14 years, I think. The front desk staff are helpful and professional. The rooms are clean, spacious and quiet, the internet works well, and everything works as it should.

It would have been nice to have a walk in shower. But otherwise it was perfect!
This our third time here in less than a year. I love everything about the property. It is well kept, convenient to hospital where my daughter was a patient. The property is very well managed. All the personnel is wonderful too. They have been so nice to me, and remembered me from previous stays, while daughter was in hospital. It meant a lot to me. EVERYONE was SO nice!

The bathtub was very small and low, I was not able to enjoy it; the shower handle was fixed to the wall and I couldn't move it around while showering.
Room was very big and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. I quite enjoyed the complimentary wine glass and snacks.

This place is huge! (notable since I have trouble walking very far) The parking deck was a long way from my room, but with the 3rd floor walkway, I could stay out of the weather to navigate from my room to my car. the light on the desk was very dim and I'm glad I didn't have to work much on this trip - it gave me a headache trying to finish my tasks. The only other downside is the cover on the ironing board in my suite would not stay on/was very thin, and it made it very difficult to get my clothes in good order before my event. It took extra patience to figure out how to keep the cover from moving every time I moved my clothes.
The suite was well-appointed - USB ports on every lamp, lots of drawers, access to the bathroom from the bedroom and the lounge area. Even though the (very noisy) ice machine was right outside the door, I didn't hear it at all when I was inside my suite - amazing! Staff were incredibly helpful and kind - offering to assist me with luggage or lending an extra hand when I was carrying things to my room. None of them had to offer that assistance, yet they all did. As a solo handicap traveler, I was grateful for this helping attitude - it takes a lot out of me when I travel, so sometimes a little assistance feels really wonderful to receive! Kudos the all the staff members I met at the front desk, the servers and staff at the buffet and throughout the property!

A minor quibble I have with all hotels (high to low end) - the pillows! I would love a firmer pillow!! Also I was upset the hot tub was broken, but those things happen!

I did not like that. The pool seemed quite dirty, the hot tub was not working, and the outside pool, although was closed was very dirty.
I loved that the property gives two complementary drinks per guest during happy hour for free and you can get 2 alcoholic drinks.

Location isn't horrible, but you'll need to really plan transportation if you're heading into DC. The train station is kind of far from the hotel.
The amenities were great, incredible breakfast, nice pool, gym, etc. Very clean. Overall great hotel experience.
