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 AmericaPersistent repeated difficulties with room thermostat, which malfunctioned every two or three hours. Fixing it required maintenance staff to go onto the roof to reset, but there was no maintenance staff overnight or on weekends. Fortunately, the weather cooperated, so it was not a major problem with temperature between 65 and 75. Mattress was really soft and within 1 foot of the edge one felt like one was about to slide off. As is often the case, cleaning etc was only every other day and pretty minimal. Breakfast ends at 9:30.
Excellent price and location and helpful and friendly staff. Free coffee morning noon and night. Decent breakfast for the price (self-cook waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, dry cereal, etc.) Big fridge and stove top. TV swiveled to face either couch or bed.

FranceBreakfast limited in choice and quality (coffee was really bad). Having to ask everyday for rooms to be served is a nuisance, furthermore when not getting them served even having asked (several times). Whilst in the booking form parking is announced as free, the hotel charges parking per day (US$ 12). The price for the room in Duke university move-in days is outrageous.
Very comfortable rooms, quiet and with plenty of space. All looking new and in good shape. Having kitchen amenities is very convenient, especially the fridge. Location was very convenient, close to Duke university and to downtown Durham.

The rooms had everything we could need, kitchenette, great beds, efficient use of space. The facility also offered breakfast which was more than adequate, and there is a gym and pool that we did not make use of. The staff was great!

United States of AmericaSome shaky characters in the neighborhood but hotel can't control that. Shower floor extremely slippery, should put some kind of non-skid material. Bathroom has no exhaust fan. With limited Housekeeping services due to Covid - please stock room with additional towels without guests having to ask, though they are available if requested. Facilities/Maintenance can work on some details to keep everything in working order to maintain the grounds and rooms that add to the overall feel and value to the guest experience.
We have stayed here over the past few years while our son attended Duke and it is always a great stay. Outstanding location, next to East Campus, walkable to downtown restaurants - and for a late night treat - cross the street to Insomnia Cookies - amazing! Hotel is a good value, includes complimentary breakfast, on-site laundry, good-size room, kitchenette, small fitness center, ample parking, friendly staff. There are fancier (and pricier) options nearby, but for value - you can't go wrong staying here,

United States of AmericaAcross the street from a very busy train line with many trains blasting their horns late at night and very early in the morning. In addition there are some local bars across the street with many loud patrons walking around. There are also many very loud motorcycles and cars revving their engines from 11-1 on Friday and Saturday night. Also there was a gun shot murder on the street near the food truck lot directly across the street around midnight. College student parents should be concerned that this all happens a block from East Campus and their kids walk by this type of environment.
Comfortable room with nice amenities

There is no duvet cover just a duvet and a flat sheet in place of a proper duvet cover The breakfast finishes some time at or before 9.30 so I never made it on time for that No kettle to make tea in the room
