Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndiaSpace is less than what appears in the photographs. We were staying for 14 days but cleaning service is not offered at all - there should at least once a week cleaning service.

United States of AmericaThe only negative experience during our stay was that the essentials cabinet had nothing in it but a few tea bags and earplugs. I had to message the company to ask for more towels and toilet paper. However, they delivered additional towels & toilet paper directly to our room by the time we returned home that day. I also had not realized there was apparently no air conditioning. When we arrived, it was cold, and we were using the heat, but by the time we left, if had turned warm, and a/c would have been helpful. Thankfully it wasn’t miserably hot and we were able to sleep.
It was very clean and contained everything we needed for our stay, including dishes, kitchen towels, extra trash bags, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, etc. The bed was comfortable and the property felt safe and secure.

BrazilI didn't face any challenges that are relevant to report. Small questions or challenges were dealt with immediately in a sensitive and correct manner.
My family and I (wife and 9-year-old daughter) spent more than ten days at the Sonder the Sloan Philadelphia for business and pleasure and had a very good experience. The location is simply unbeatable for an agenda that involves the University City area, the infrastructure is another outstanding experience with very modern furniture and facilities and an equally very prepared service team. I would definitely recommend Sonder the Sloan and will stay again in the future.

United States of AmericaThe queen sized bed is pushed against the wall in a little closet-like room. I preferred to sleep with the sliding door open, otherwise I felt claustrophobic. The bed was comfortable and clean.
The apartment was extremely close to UPenn, dining options, and a grocery store. The staff responded to questions immediately using the Sonder app chat. The kitchen is terrific and the large work table/dining room table was the best.

United States of AmericaYou can get extra towels and etc. downstairs but sometimes there weren't (m)any available; random service interruptions like the gym being closed or the trash cute not working - not really an issue for me but might be for people who don't like surprises; the washer-dryer combo takes FOREVER and didn't dry clothes well but I appreciated having it in the room nonetheless
Right around the corner from the subway and bus stops, making it exceptionally easy to get around the city; late-night places to eat within walking distance; the room itself was beautiful and had everything I needed (basic kitchen supplies, washer/dryer); no one bothered me during my week-long stay

SingaporeWalls were thin. Can hear people walking about upstairs. The 20m walk from 40th Street to the apartment can be a bit quiet.
Fully equipped with microwave, stove, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Supermarket nearby, lots of restaurants. Street cam and nearby police station on the next street added to feeling of safety.

United States of AmericaThe TV didn't work. Despite three calls to the offsite mgmt, it still didn't work when our week ended. They asked for permission to enter our room in case we weren't there when they came to service the TV. We said absolutely! The next time we complained, we were told that someone had come to fix the TV, but no one was home.
The room was great. Lots of appliances. roomy.
