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 AmericaIt was not an issue for us personally but I would not recommend this property to anyone who is handicapped i.e. wheelchair, walker, cane etc. the stairs to the rooms are very steep! But this was my only qualm!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! This hotel was outstanding we walked to get breakfast and coffee every morning! It’s in a very clean safe neighborhood! We would stay here again 100% Our room offered everything! A kitchen, coffee maker, hair dryer, refrigerator it had it all! We even had a pretty view of the bridge! I just loved it.

Loved the location, it was out of the town and near to the historic sights. The street the hotel is located on has lots of lovely independent shops and nice coffee places. Really couldn't have asked for a better location.

United States of AmericaVery steep steps to get to room. If you have a lot of luggage - good luck.
We LOVE this concept! The room was really cool (redone old building in Old Town Philadelphia). We were able to walk to all the nearby tourist sights. We love the neighborhood (I spent more on shopping than on the room). The room is clean and has a TON of amenities (we like the liquor cart - even though we didn't use it). Although the room is AirBnb-ish, the ability to order food and groceries through the iPad was cool. We highly recommend this stay to anyone coming to Philadelphia not wanting a chain and wanting to be in the local neighborhoods.

United States of AmericaA small ask would be for some sort of mirror in the bedroom. The only mirrors were in the bathroom.
The room is gorgeous and had everything we needed. The little touches, like he old books, delicious tea and fabulous tea kettle made it even more special. It was also the perfect location for walking to all of the sights in Philadelphia. We walked....and walked.....and walked.

United States of AmericaThere were some very minor repairs needed and the bigger bluetooth speaker wasn't connecting (and there are no bedside lamps) - minor things - but just to be aware.
This is the 3rd time i've stayed here - love Lokal and the staff are SUPER helpful and responsive. The 4th floor walk up is not for everyone, but the space is absolutely beautiful (Ben) and worth the walk - very tranquil at the backside of the building.

United States of AmericaMost of the locals; instead of polite smiles or acknowledging gestures to visitors that are there to admire and experience, they look like you are impeding on their turf and disregard common politeness.
The room was excellent with a self check in and process that was very comfortable. Information regarding the Lokal facility and the area was easily obtained and support was given instantly at request. Top Notch
