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...).

The breakfast was awesome -- the best I've had at any hotel. And in the evenings the hotel provided a beer get together with local beers. The staff was very accommodating, and van transportation was provided to where our cruise ship was docked.

AustraliaI loved my stay here and the room and bathroom were spotless and well appointed. Location was great for closeness to the Fjord cruises as well as restaurants in walking distance. Shuttle service excellent for travelling further into town as well as the pick up for the coach back to Anchorage.

United States of AmericaThough a new hotel it has a lot of interior noise and the floors in the bedrooms sound like an elephant is walking across them (even for a small person). For the price we were expecting something a little higher end, but this is very nice and clean and served our needs well.
Friendly staff, breakfast that featured vegan sausage on order, craft brewery pop-up in the evening. Location is terrific in general, but especially if you're taking a small boat excursion, as the small boat harbor is right across the street.

United States of AmericaThe hotel is pristine and modern. The bed was outstandingly comfortable! The site said there was not wifi, but we had wifi and it worked fine. We had a situation the morning of our cruise, where we realized we should have been in Whittier, not Seward. The hotel manager actually called her husband to see if his rental car was free! It was not, but she helped us get a taxi to Whittier almost immediately. Seward was a fabulous town and the hotel is within walking distance to everything. The free breakfast was also good.

Great location for cruises! They tagged our bags right at the front desk to hold and transfer to the ship for us and they showed up on time at our rooms. We all walked to the cruise ship from the hotel, shopping, eating, and sightseeing along the way. It is perfect no matter what your show time is for your cruise. And the attached large restaurant area was perfect for our included breakfast and an area to play games at other times. Our room was basic but clean, nicely decorated, with everything we needed (no bathtub, only shower). They gave us an hour later for check in but we ended up not needing it since they could hold AND TRANSFER our bags…perfect for someone who wants to do an excursion. We were lucky they had this service because I had a hard time finding a taxi to take us to the ship…calling all taxi services on their provided list the night before. They also referred us to Red Eye Rides for transport from the airport to their hotel…the ONLY transport I found to get from the airport to Seward late in the afternoon the day before.
