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 AmericaLocation was perfect for attending event at Jones Hall (across the street). Within walking distance of several options for dinner after the performance. Once we turned the car over to the valet, we did not need it again until we checked out. Excellent room and services.

United States of AmericaThe restaurant/dining in the hotel is definitely an afterthought but it definitely wouldn’t keep us from staying again! And soon!!
The location is amazing. Just enough off Main Street to keep it a bit quieter and more quaint but close enough to the action to walk most places nearby!

United States of AmericaThere appeared to be only one bartender and barback, although the bar was pretty full when I was there. Good bartender but service was a little slow due to the volume.
The location was perfect--right in the middle of the theater district. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was spotless and bright with windows on two sides. The complimentary breakfast was delicious.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while in Houston for a concert. We had a corner suite which was really comfortable. Great bed and pillows. Free water and snacks were a nice touch. Buffet breakfast was decent, and we treated ourselves to the restaurant a la carte option on the last morning, which was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast was just ok. Some of the items served could be improved (very runny eggs), but overall it was nice to have it included.
The location (theatre district) was excellent. Surprisingly quiet for being downtown! The service was exceptional, from the delightfully kind valet attendants to the attentive and knowledgeable bartenders, David and Bob. David even recommended some great local spots, which were amazing and just what we wanted to experience for our trip.

CanadaParking is absurd. We parked across the road in the alley parkade for $15 a night, almost 4x less. On the day of our check out housekeeping woke us up ringing the bell at 7:10am. Not sure why they would clean our room if we were departing that day, and that’s much to early to begin cleaning rooms.
Great location, rooms were lovely. Having breakfast included was a big plus.
