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 AmericaI thought the room was too pricey (I suspect prices were much higher because of the eclipse). One of the TV's was not connected properly & the comforter on the bed had a stain. The fridge did not keep things very cold. The room should have had a microwave. Also the power saving light in the bathroom kept turning off while I was taking a shower.
Favorite things were staff & service during the Eclipse. The on site cafe was delicious & the location was perfect. Our room was mostly clean & the bed & pullout couch were comfortable.

United States of AmericaStaff is young and eager but not highly trained/experienced. Lots of details overlooked for the per night price. For example, linens for pullout never sent up as promised until we called hours later to check on. Housekeeping only provided fresh towels for 2 instead of 3 people and no wash clothes at all. 2 shampoo dispensers and no conditioner in shower. The room vents leaked marijuana smoke from other room into our room night and morning. Was really strong and unwanted smell. Food at Poindexter quite “average”. So many great breakfast and lunch places in area that wouldn’t bother eating at hotel. Would be nice if there was a bar (no liquor license).
Location and overall concept good. Room decor has a vintage charm and cozy feel.

United States of AmericaWe had some trouble turning off the HVAC system as the fan was loud and we couldn't turn it off.
I loved everything about my stay at the Graduate - location, amenities, comfort, cleanliness, general vibe, decor, food in the restaurant/cafe downstairs, all of it! Our room had a kitchenette with a massive dining table and retro refrigerator. You can't beat the location - it's close to EVERYTHING. I wish we were there for more than 1 day.

United States of AmericaNothing. Everything excellent.
The coffee at their coffee bar is excellent. Students are studying when you walk in so it's very quiet. This hotel was by far the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in, and I have stayed in many hotels. I felt safe and at home. The beds are cozy and gives you a grandmas house feel. I loved it. Check in was the fantastic.
