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...).

GermanyThe room needed cleaning. The couch was just permanently yucky, but the closet and dresser drawers and ceiling fan were simply not cleaned. The bathroom window didn't open more than an inch@
Everyone working there was so nice and helpful! The room was large, with a kitchen, and an excellent price for such a central, but quiet location

United States of AmericaNo fan in the shower/bathroom made the fire alarm go off when opening the door to get air. The key cards were not reliable.
The set up of the room made it a nice place to meet with the people we needed to - good sized table and chairs along with another small plush chair. The small kitchen was also a plus. The location was close to our business and the private secure entrance worked perfectly to meet with the client. This place is wheelchair accessible and that is what was needed.

United States of AmericaWe were not given basic human kindness or understanding to the situation we had been unavoidably put into, but instead were treated with irritation. We were keeping constant communication with the staff about checking out and packing up as quickly as physically possible considering the mistake that the booking site had made, and I was wholly willing to pay any and all late fees, while expressing our apologies and embarrassment for the miscommunication on part of the third party booking site. It took time to get everything packed (afterall, we are in the process of moving, so we have a large amount of luggage, and had been settled there for almost 2 weeks), but that didnt make a difference in us being sure the room was very clean when we left; we used our own small, cordless vacuum on the carpet, made sure that all surfaces and drawers were wiped down and cleaned out, stripped all bed sheets and pillow cases, leaving them piled neatly with our towels and robes, and also left no trash behind, taking it all out to the trash shoot ourselves. And all that was in addition to tipping $50 to the staff. The following week, we booked a 9 night stay at the sister property of the hotel i just described, five days in advance. However, at last minute, despite having 5 days notice, the hotel cancelled my 9 night reservation only a few hours before the check in time via an unacceptably basic email, lacking any explanation, leaving no time to find another place to stay, So despite my continued communication with the hotel about my reservation being mishandled by the other company, my desperate willingness to do whatever I could to fix the situation, leaving a clean room and paying a $30 charge and a $50 gratuity, this hotel cancelling my reservation is an unneccessary decision, but to do so last minute and leaving me out of a place to stay is just unethical and horrible common courtesy.
The bedding and robes and room was extremely comfortable. Everything was Great.... until the last day. Prior to that day we had been extending our reservation each night through a third party, due to the fact that we receive income on a daily basis , and therefore couldn't afford more than one night at a time, something we had confirmed with the hotel staff was not an issue. But after repeating the same process for the 4th or 5th time, we woke up on what ended up being our last morning there to find that the site wed been using had double booked us.

United States of AmericaStairwells were locked at unpredictable intervals. Wi-fi didn’t work very well. Kitchen was equipped, but barely- absolute minimum for basic cooking and eating for two people. Smell of smoke in room and windows didn’t open. All probably fine for a short term stay, but frustrating for our 11 day trip.
The property is in an excellent location downtown. Staff super friendly. Bed was comfortable and property felt very safe. Hot shower and plenty of toiletries. A/C worked well in room.

United States of AmericaOverall the service was great, the staff were great. My biggest complaint is that the building had a general smell of sewage inside. Maybe that’s just how downtown Portland is,I don’t know.
The breakfast was not complimentary so we did not get it. It was deceiving as it was not made clear in the reservation that it was an additional cost.

United KingdomShower pressure wasn't great but it did the job. Fridge a bit loud at night and blinds meant it got light in the room quite early in the morning. But for the price of the place, not a big deal for us.
This was a great stay for us. The area is very nice with lots of restaurants etc near by. Laundry available in the building and reasonably priced. Bed was comfortable, kitchen was good with enough equipment for cooking. Good sized room. Complementary shampoo etc was in wall mounted pumps rather than small bottles, we appreciated the environmentally conscious approach.

United KingdomSome of the utensils and crockery in the kitchen were not cleaned and still had bits of food etc on them. It could do with a little bit of updating but still a great stay and perfect for my trip.
It was a great location and perfect for my trip. I did not do any cooking but used the fridge, toaster and microwave to prepare breakfasts and lunches and ate out for dinner each day (to help keep costs down!). The room is a little tired and could do with modernising, but the apartment was perfect, clean and functional, and the bed was super comfortable for me. There was an AC, a separate chair for me to sit on and a small table. The shower and bathroom was fine. Hot water whenever I showered, although it could take some time to come through. The courtyard is very pretty as you come in, easy to use lift and you feel safe (locked gate and lift). You can also use the 'gym' in the attached hotel, although this is only a very small room with a few weights, a treadmill and a step/crosstrainer with some mats, but fine for a few days. To check in you go to the Marks Spencer Hotel around the corner, the staff were really nice and friendly. Also very nice restaurants all within 5 minutes walking!
