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 AmericaThe fragrance in the lobby.
The location was perfect, we could walk to everything we wanted to see. The outside patio was pleasant to sit in as was the lobby. The staff throughout the hotel was friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable, loved the canopy bed. Sometimes the fragrance in the lobby was overpowering would have preferred less.

FranceThe noise made by the air conditionners in the rooms and in the court yard is not negligeable. A point for improvements...
I recommend this place because of its excellent location, less than of 1 Km of most of the places to visit or go in Charleston. I love the "wine and cheese" concept around 5pm, although a bit early and short (1h) for guests that go dining at european hours, like 8pm.... Very helpful and kind personnel : southern kindness.

United States of AmericaPoorly utilized space in rooms. Bathroom huge, with nothing in it, no shelves, storage and few hooks for clothes. Dressing area needs more mirrors & places to put things. Huge wingback chairs take up space you have to navigate around. Who wants to sit by the bathroom? One whole wall by the front would be better for a sitting area with smaller chairs. Armoire is fine, no robes. AC unit had a mind of its own. No parking on premises with a $40 per night fee for valet, $25 per night to walk and get your own car. Stop using that strong lilac room spray in the lobby. Unappealing especially with food.
The garden is beautiful, lots of places to sit, nice evening wine and cheese event. Close to everything downtown. Staff very friendly. Housekeeping did a beautiful job each day on our room. Went above and beyond.

AustraliaWhen exiting elevators no signs to show which rooms are left or right. Very high bed, so has stairs to get up to it, cool, but need to use it everytime you get in and out of bed. Woodern corridor to rooms at an angle and creek. Wish more room in wardrobe.
Bathed in southern charm. Jewel's welcome was friendly and perfectly helpful. Large spacious room. Lovely spacious bathroom. Had cookie and hot chocolate in reception before bedtime, great to meet fellow guests. Location is center of downtown. Parking is close, just 3 blocks away.

United States of AmericaThe bed was slightly uncomfortable and the heating system was loud.
Loved the courtyard with the fountain and the hot tub. The location was perfect to walk to all the places we wanted to see. Although the furniture could use updating we loved the charm of the 4 poster bed and antique furniture in the bedroom but the fact that the bathroom was modern and new. Breakfast was offered every morning (the berries and Greek yogurt were delicious),Wine and appetizers were offered every evening and cookies and milk every night! Coffee and tea was always available in the lobby and cold water was available in the courtyard.

United KingdomVery expensive for what you got. Room is situated like a motel with its door opening to an external walkway. Room was very basic with zero extras that you would expect when paying such a high price. No coffee/tea. No water. Heating very basic, no extra blankets so very cool in room.
Great location Pleasant buffet style breakfast in reception area

United States of AmericaCloser car parking More inside seating and convenient bathrooms to Lobby Bed was attractive, ample soap, towels that were soft and plenty of them, nice warm shower! Darren, Marlene, and Rodney are five star employees!!
We enjoyed the breakfasts. It was nice that they were provided. The last day the server apparently forgot to put the one hot item out. We were leaving that morning so that was disappointing. The woman serving on that Thursday was the only unpleasant staff member. She was very unapproachable. Not friendly. She was very different from Darren, Marlene, and Rodney who were so kind, pleasant, and helpful. Plus there was another black gentleman who worked hard and was pleasant. We loved the wine time and Rodney was excellent in every way! Cookies were good, too! The bldg was well cared for.

United States of AmericaBreakfast was limited, especially for someone with lactose intolerance. Lobby had a strong smell. Staff were not overly friendly. While we were told we would be called when our room was ready, we didn't receive one. Our luggage was initially taken to the wrong room. No enforcement of quiet hours; loud talking outside well after 9PM. No vent in bathroom so humidity was high and hard to air out.
Location was fantastic! Could walk everywhere. Parking was reasonable and only a few blocks away. Very nice courtyard area to have a drink.

United States of AmericaBed was a little squeaky, but I like the historical charm of it. I had to move the extra pillows because I do like to unpack my bag while at a local.
The room was what I wanted being in a historical city. We sat in the courtyard and had wine and listened to the music. I wish I would have known about the hot tub. The location is excellent. We did not have a car and walked almost everywhere we needed to go.
