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 AmericaObvious 1950s remodel. Outside needs repair and rehab, and a coat of paint. Downstairs street-side windows looked like they haven't been cleaned in many years.
Interesting historical building. I didn't get to use the spring baths, but will return to try. Breakfast was good, staff was very helpful.

United States of AmericaMy massage was cancelled at last minute. No biggie. Also although hotel sparsely populated I was put in room #2 directly above café down stairs. This ment that room was not very quiet, and I worried about making too much noise which might bother diners. Consider, when possible not using this room for this reason.
Nice old fashioned place with cool pool and great baths.

United States of AmericaThe beds weren't very comfortable but they worked for what I needed and for the value of the hotel.
Loved the location, staff was very friendly. It was was very easy to have a pet as all the doors have their own exit so it was easy to take bathroom breaks with my puppy.

United States of AmericaThe building was in such disrepair it was insulting. I honestly wonder if it has been painted in literally 30 years, and the wallpaper in my room (#204) is peeling. I can't believe you wouldn't have been aware of that.
The price was good, the staff was great, but the restaurant was the best thing of all. The staff was wonderful and the food was MOUTH-WATERING.

United States of AmericaIf there was something not to like, i didnt find it
The location was perfect for someone seeking peace and quiet. The pool is the best pool i have ever swam in. Its fed by a mineral spring, and it was so mineral-ey, that i floated easier in it, and i could feel it detoxifying me. Theres also an attached bar where the locals hang out, so if one wanted to socialize, it aint hard to do. Its like a resort for people who dont like resorts, at least thats how i saw it. My room felt spacious. I received an honest-to-god key when i checked in, and had to lock the door myself, talk about old school charm, away from the card scanners and wi-fi. For someone like me who loves rustic old school stuff, i was in heaven. O did i mention that all the locals think its haunted?!? The history there, and all that happened in it is palpable. Im going back anytime im within a hundred miles of Original Springs, and may even make special trips there just to chill out for a bit.

United States of AmericaThis is a lovely hotel that just needs a little love. It's currently for sale and needs someone to come in and do some maintenance and updates. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time...enjoyed walking around town, and visiting the CBI grocery store next door, but best of all was the wrap-around porch. Spent all evening hanging out and watching a storm roll in.

United States of AmericaThere was nothing I didn't like about this place.
The hotel is super cute. All the staff we dealt with was friendly and welcoming. It's an old hotel, but it's kept up really well and it has a lot of character. I would 100% recommend, and would stay here again if I am in the area.

United States of AmericaOnly downfall was around 1:00/2:00 in the morning, the other people staying on the 3rd floor were loud in the hallway and stomping around without a care in the world it seemed.
We booked the Original Springs because my son wanted to stay in a haunted hotel. Everything seems to be original in the hotel, the beds were nice and comfy. AC unit kept the room very cold also. There was a ton of dust and stuff under the beds but other than that it was clean so that was not a problem. The staff was very nice when we checked in. My son and I did wander down the halls around 11:30ish but I made sure we were quiet to be respectful of others.

United States of AmericaIn Room 2 the floor sloped inward. We looked at Suite 205/206, which was renovated more recently and has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and level floors.
For the mildly adventurous, this faded glory of a spa offers excellent services despite its creaky old building. We felt like we were time traveling. The building seemed structurally sound and clean. Not everything worked, but we were comfortably put up in a room with quality bed linens and mattress placed on well-worn period furnishings. The walls are too thin for 21st-century couples or business travelers, but it is a great place to bring a family for an unforgettable stay. The lobby seemed like the kind of place Agatha Christie would strike up conversations around the morning coffee. Most importantly, on arrival we were able to book spa services for the next morning at a fraction of big-city prices. The big pool downstairs is available for swimming after morning aerobics classes, and we’re glad we added on spa services the next morning. The owners are looking to retire, so if you’re passing through the area, this is the year to enjoy what remains of the last mineral springs in Illinois!
