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 didn’t like that breakfast only went until 9am on the weekend. We got in very late the night before so were unable to make it to breakfast. The reason I booked this hotel over another one was because it had breakfast, so I was very disappointed.
We had a very large room.

United States of AmericaI know this is a small thing for some people but the coffee machine was not great. Basically instant coffee with powdered creamer. The hot breakfast was available but not very good. Would be nice to have a nicer coffee machine that's available 24 -7 with hot tea as well. There was a couple cleanliness issues. There was a dirty mattress laying in the hallway when we stepped off the elevator and there was some mold in the stairway at the back entry. Even with this said we would definitely stay here again. The staff was great. It's obvious an effort was being made.
It's a very good value for the price. The one bedroom suite with a separate living room was a nice set up for us. The pool and hot tub are great and there is an adjacent patio which is a nice place to sit in the evening. Breakfast was included.

United States of AmericaI did not have a complimentary breakfast at all. The first morning, I was there. And the vending machine robbed me of at least $5 when trying to get. Help for that. There was nobody to locate to refund me in my money. So I was out the $5 due to their vending machines as well.
The price, the cleanliness And location.

FinlandWe’ve stayed here several times when we’ve come to Ames, and no real complaints except that in the span of ten years that we’ve stayed there, there seems to be no upgrades/updates to the furnishings. Also, the bed was not very comfortable
The location is good and it’s nice to have the separate bedroom and living room areas.
