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 location wasn't the most ideal and several Uber drivers would drop my ride for pickup or dropoff because of it. I didn't have much of a problem and had no issues in this area. I brought my own toiletries, but did wish that there were some present. I wish there were hand towels in the bathroom as I constantly forgot having to carry my towel with me Everytime I needed to just wash my hands. I predominately had a nice time here but I don't think I would come back though, as a lot of my business took place downtown and getting Uber rides to and from was both difficult and expensive.
This was everything I expected. I really just needed a place to rest my head during my work trip. There were a lot of negative reviews discussing issues with the stay and property that I can understand, but I was given very clear information from our hosts and didn't have any issues with their rules. They give you the access code ahead of time which was very helpful since I didn't arrive till almost 3 am. I felt a lot safer during my trip when I found out the other two shared rooms were also women. I was very lucky with that. Despite the negative feedback for cameras in common area I felt my stuff was secure and safe because of it. This was a good place to stay during my first trip to chicago. It's very conveniently closed to multiple bus lines and they were very easy to use!

Good location - the number 3 bus is less than a 5 mins walk, which goes straight into central Chicago. It was really useful to have access to a shared kitchen, fridge, cutlery & crockery. Good communication from the owners & easy access to the property at check-in.

IrelandNot being greeted on arrival by host. Was difficult to get into the property as had to text passport details for code to get into property. As I had an international phone could not text the host so had to wait outside the property till other guest with US phone could contact the owners for code to get in
Loved how comfortable and stylish the place was.

RussiaThere is no reception desk available, all communication happens via sms or email. They do not return the deposit which they took at the first day, so that is why I do not recommend this place.

United KingdomAccess: Initial access was very difficult, with an entry based on receiving access codes by text promised 15 mins before check in time, which for me did not arrive until later in the day.. I had to chase for it by texting, however its disconcerting to get automated replies promising a response in 24 hours if you are stood outside with your bags. During my stay I met a few other guests who could not get in or had issues with door locks once in. I recommend having plenty of charge on your phone and make sure you can use a US mobile network. Ants: Although the place was clean there were little ants walking around the living room and kitchen, that may be usual in summer in houses in Chicago and they were little, but they may bother some people.
Nice bathroom (I had a private one).

United States of AmericaLike a lot of people said, it was very frustrating to get a hold of the owners when we got there. Said we would Have a code 15 minutes before 3 pm and didn't Recieve anything until I had to send multiple texts saying I'm going to cancel the reservation and call my bank to block the charges. Got in the room about 335ish.

GermanyWe stood a really long time waiting to be let into the property. You knew we were coming but still forced us to add an additional deposit while standing at the door in the cold. We do not think it is appropriate to place a camera in public places - we did not consent to that before booking.

United States of AmericaIt advertised free parking when that really meant there was available street parking. There was always enough space, but it felt disingenuous. Also, the bathroom was very clean and newly redone, but the shower door wasn't well installed and wouldn't stay closed, so I had to shower with the door open. The water pressure was also quite low. Also, the communication via text, while functional, was not very smooth. Also, make sure to read the fine print. I missed the directions of the check-in procedure and messed it up the first time (even though it was really simple). It was stated on the booking.com page, but was not high up.
Overall it was very clean and efficiently run. The directions were easy to follow and the check in process was simple. The room was clean and very well kept. There was lots of available street parking. I was really impressed with how well kept the place was and how good the service was.

United KingdomYou couldn't accommodate us in the place we booked and only moved us about 1hr before check in time. If you had a problem with the booking you should have contacted us. Unfortunately the other guests in at the same time weren't very tidy - dirty dishes in the sink, personal items left in lounge, products in the shower. Promised coffee and tea making facilities but there were no tea bags
