Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

No kettle in the room, just a coffee percolator. This might be an American thing though.
Friendly staff. Plenty of parking at $5 a day. 1.4 mile walk from East Falls Church Metro. Falls Church is a beautiful area. Went to eat at Hot and Juicy Crawfish, a short walk away. Very tasty and excellent value.

No breakfast, but coffee service available. Rooms were comfortable and it was nice to have a kitchen available if you wanted to cook meals. Hotels in that area are all expensive and price was ok for a suite hotel. Grocery store around the corner was convenient and location in Falls Church was good and provided easy access to major routes. Staff was great and hotel was peaceful

The fold out couch bed wasn't what we expected. It wasn't bad, just not what we expected. There wasn't a sheet provided for it either, only a blanket and pillow. We didn't have enough towels and washcloths in the room upon arrival. It was a small inconvenience though, and when I went down to the front desk they were very accommodating.
We liked the space that we had with the suite. It was very roomy. The full kitchen was so nice to have too! It also included all the dishes and utensils we needed. Everything was very clean.

You have to pay for the parking, $5/day. If you arrive late at night, you might not find an available spot for your car. We were lucky to find the last one available one night.
We travelled by car so the location was great, I loved the neighborhood, quiet and safe, the building looked so American (sorry, tourists here). The room, studio actually, was very big (we even had a kitchenette), the bathroom was nice, spatious room, big TV. The bed was very comfy. 20-25mins by car till Washington DC. The staff was very kind and helpful. It has parking. We enjoyed our stay. *We recommend Cafe Kindred for breakfast, 5mins by car, 10mins walk.

I was charged twice for the room and still hasn't been resolved. I was told the GM would deal with the issue, but still no resolution on their part. Also, on the second day of my stay my key card wasn't working. It was a bit annoying having to go back to the front desk to get the key card to work. The air freshener in the hotel was too overpowering.
The bed was comfortable, room was clean and location was optimal.

I didn't notice that there was a $5/day extra charge for parking - not a big deal, but perhaps the listing could show this more prominently. Also noticed that the walls were on the thin side - I could hear some noise from other rooms, and definitely from the parking lot.
This place had everything I needed - a very comfortable bed, a small kitchenette, adequate size bathroom and storage, easy parking ($5/day). Everything worked and appeared clean. Overall, I was delighted with my room for a 5-day stay. I feel like this property offers good value, and the people working there are polite and helpful.

Some guests were a little on the rowdy side;I was staying over the new year's holiday, so that's likely why.
Property is well located within falls church. A short bus ride to the metro. Rooms were spacious and the entire property was surprisingly clean, given that it's a long stay hotel that equips reach room/ suite with full kitchens. There aren't any frills like breakfast, but i think the reasonable price and fully equipped kitchens make it a competitive option for anyone seeking a longer stay option. I very much enjoyed my stay of 6 nights.
