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 AmericaOur second room was not ready until 5:30, 90 minutes later than we were supposed to be able to check in, for which we received no apology or recompense. Bed pillows were a disaster as they provided no support whatsoever, dramatically undermining our sleep. And room key did not work at Fitness Center wasting 15 minutes of my time.
Rooms were excellent. View of Potomac...well stocked bar/refrigerator...large spacious bathrooms with great showers and double sinks...efficiency of automated elevator system led to short waits...room lighting is excellent...Fitness Center: good quality machines and a good number of them....sauna....valet service ($58) expensive but invaluable and well run.

United KingdomVery minor thing but insufficient coffee pods and milk in the room and one big cup, one small cup in the room which was puzzling as to why there weren’t two of each? Also coffee flasks in the lobby were empty each time we went to use them.
Fabulous location and views of the Potomac from the rooms.

United States of AmericaOut of my control but the snow even though it was beautiful. For the amount of money for the stay parking should have been free. I was trying to schedule a spa or massage and was unable to book on line. Once we got there an attempt was made however the times weren't Is compatible to our stay.
The room was wonderful and at a good location overlooking the river. The restaurant was really nice. Nice and friendly staff all all around.

United KingdomThe lifts are in need of servicing and at times can be very loud, even in the rooms. The rooftop bar is closed over the winter period which we hadn't realised until we got up there. The price of the minibar/confectionary in the room was extortionate, made worse in that there are very limited options around for any such things.
Lovely historic hotel with a very good breakfast (albeit pricey). Well preserved exterior and reasonably modern interior. The view of the river is pleasant. Small details like the cup mats had information about the hotel and it's history which was a nice touch.

United States of AmericaThe bread was hard and there were not that many choices. Just sub par. They need to elevate it for the place and price they charge.
The breakfast was a complete disappointment. They need to provide a higher quality and variety. Had it not beed for an amazing staff member, it would have been really disastrous for me.

United States of AmericaFor such a high-end hotel, there are a few things I was surprised by. The carpets in the two rooms we rented were visibly worn and stretched. Also, the rooms do not offer modern amenities like blutooth speakers or streaming services.
It's a beautiful hotel and the staff is great. As a political history buff, it was also my wife's goal to stay there.
