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...).

United States of AmericaThe room we had were tight quarters. A shelf above the sink would have been so helpful for cosmetics. Will visit again with smaller luggage to carry up the stairs and request an updated bay window room.
Comfortable bed, loved the Back Bay location. Sophia was sweet and helpful. High-end mall and restaurants were walkable with close access to train rail lines to take you to other Boston areas. Legal Seafood had oyster happy hour. Atlantic Fish had wonderful asparagus crab, tuna tartare and clam chowder. Took train to James Hook for fab cold lobster roll with mayo and crab cakes.

United States of AmericaAlready said. Garage expensive, bed fine, bedding less so.
We needed a place to stay in Boston for a high-risk delivery of our grandchild. We needed to be able to stay for as long as needed and get easily to the hospital. The location was great for us. Charming building and neighborhood. The ease of using the lock box and getting questions answered by telephone was excellent. Studio was well thought out. Some appliances dd not work well. Bed was comfortable, but needed larger quilt. Parking was much more expensive than stated online, but close by and not hard to find.

Small but very welcoming and clean house. Central location, close to Copley Square and just steps away from the subway.

United States of AmericaThe unit we were in was incredibly small. Very little room to move around or even open your suitcase. It is very loud as the walls are thin and you can hear everyone clumping up and down the stairs or in the unit above.
This charming little brownstone is in a great location. Just a short walk to downtown and transit options. The apartment was very neat and the bed was comfortable.

United States of AmericaWe needed to pay extra for parking even though there were designated spots for each apartment so it isn't as though we were paying a premium for limited space.
The room was great and the location was very central to the green line so getting around was easy! The neighborhood felt very safe. The bed was very comfortable.

ItalyThe first basement apartment did not live up to expectations. We suggest other guest to check every time the apartment
Copley house includes a series of small apartments equipped with everything you would need (a small hob and fridge, cookwares, pans, iron and shower set) and located in a Perfect position very close to Back bay, subway stations (the closest are "Symphony" and "prudential"), supermarkets and malls. The first apartment we stayed in was located in basement and, therefore, was a bit dark; moreover, we found out a beetle during our second night. We contacted the customer service and immediately we were moved to a new brighter apartment, with a queen size bed, well cleaned.
