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 AmericaVery poor lighting over the mirror in the bathroom. Too dim to put on makeup. No hook for towels near the shower. No safety bars in the shower. No light in the closet; poor bedroom lighting near that mirror as well. Would it hurt to indicate which of 5 grey doors from the parking lot side is the lobby door? Paying close to $100. for parking seemed like a gouge.
The location was close to home while renovations were underway at our house and near restaurants we like as well as the river for walking, so excellent for us Having that little nook to pull up to by the lobby was great b/c Calumet St. is busy. The apt. had everything we needed except for what's listed below. A nice surprise; we thought the bldg was only condos. All staff people were friendly yet professional and helpful.

United States of AmericaThe only down side that I can say is the location and streets can be a little confusing for a non local and someone traveling to that part of Philadelphia for the first time. I wish I had a little more time to explore more of the amenities that were available there.
I liked the room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really clean! The staff were also very helpful and engaging!

United States of AmericaI really only have a few nits. The first is that the blinds aren't blackout, so if you are sensitive to light waking you up, you will wake up early. It was unclear what to do upon check-in; street signage would have been nice (or even something on the door/window where you check in). The room was a little loud to the outside.
The apartment was nice and felt modern. The staff was very good, proactive, and attentive. I liked that parking was gated and felt super safe.

United States of AmericaRoost is really, really new. So the only thing that was a little bit challenging was initially finding the place, and then being able to provide a good pick-up/drop-off location to our ride-share drivers when we ventured downtown Saturday night. As we were first driving there, my phone app was showing the location on the wrong side of Kelly Drive (essentially right next to Falls Bridge) but since I'm originally from Philly I quickly realized that made no sense. The building sits on the east side of Kelly, with the lobby entrance actually on the tiny stretch of Calumet Street that runs between Kelly Drive and Ridge Avenue. Having found our way there, we still weren't sure because the signage on the building says something else... eventually I just pulled up in front of the building and walked to the door, where there was a small printed sign in the window that said Welcome to Roost. Yay, we found it. The front desk clerk (who was super friendly and helpful) explained that management knew about the issue and was working to get new and better signage installed. So hopefully this is just some growing pains for a new place that will resolve with time. If you do decide to stay there (and I highly recommend the hotel overall) and want to use an Uber/Lyft to get around, you might consider using Calumet or the gas station across the street as your location because Kelly Drive is a fairly terrifying road to have your driver stop and pull over to let you in or out, especially at night. If you drive to the hotel, as we did, they have secure garage parking available for a reasonable rate (unlike in center city where most of the hotels gouge you for an extra $50-$75 a day for parking).
We choose Roost because we wanted to be reasonably close to Center City but not spend our entire weekend amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. And we ended up having a really terrific stay. The hotel is basically brand new, and everything from the main lobby to our apartment-style room and the friendly, attentive staff was great. The room was sleek, modern, beautifully appointed and squeaky-clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we might go shopping to find the exact same pillows for our home because we both loved them. The room had two brand new, large flat screen TVs (one in the bedroom and one out in the main space, adjacent to the kitchen, with DirecTV). We didn't get around to using the kitchen but I wished we had... all new quality appliances including a large refrigerator, glass cooktop and dishwasher, plus everything you'd need to cook and eat, as well as a tea kettle and coffeemaker. Two types of coffee pods were provided, though I didn't see any creamer or sugar. We visited a nearby coffee shop in Manayunk for our breakfast anyway, so that wasn't a concern for us. The room also had a spacious bathroom with a beautiful glass shower. We spent most of our weekend exploring the city and surrounding areas, so we also didn't get to check out any of the other hotel facilities, but everything we saw looked great. I would definitely return and stay there again.

The location was perfect, Our children & grandchildren live within walking distance. Everything was new and spotless. The room is an apartment with a full kitchen which we hadn’t planned on so didn’t make use of but will in the future.

United States of AmericaSeveral Uber drivers could not find the property — very dangerous for a woman traveling alone. Both drop off from airport and several pickups they were all very confused. The customer (me) had to help the driver figure out the route. Again, DANGEROUS. The address of the property was incorrect, it is NOT Kelly Drive. It is Ridge Avenue. Plus, the signage is incorrect and has not bern changed as yet. This was a rushed opening, and I would NOT recommend this property until I have had another visit to assess. Safety for solo and female travelers should be paramount!!!!
Very modern, clean and NEW. But there were issues, see below.
