Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

CanadaDespite staying on a higher floor, we still couldn't escape the loud street noise below.
The room was spacious and stylish, with tall ceilings, large windows displaying views of the Harold Washington Library, and bespoke wallpaper which detailed the history of the hotel building and Printer's Row. We really appreciated that the room had a microwave in addition to a mini-fridge, both hidden away in a cabinet, so that we could re-heat any leftovers. An umbrella was also offered in the closet to borrow or purchase; this came in handy on a rainy November day! The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the bathroom was well appointed. We liked that the hotel was a little removed from the hustle and bustle of The Loop, but still within easy walking distance to many major sites. We wouldn't hesitate to return to Hotel Blake!

United StatesDirt/mold? on the border of the sink and countertop, in a place where it is usually not visible from above. It seems, they wash the sink only in visible places. There is only one shower head, fixed on top. There is no shower on the hose, and it is really necessary, especially in the accessible rooms.
The hotel fully corresponds to the description on the website, good location, very friendly and helpful staff (especially the evening shift).

United StatesThe location is great for a first visit to Chicago since it is within walking distance to the main attractions and is located close to the blue line that goes to the airport - Chicago O'Hare. The neighborhood was very safe, the room was large and beds were exceptionally comfy. The bathroom was also modern and big. Staff were always helpful. This is a great value for downtown Chicago. We also enjoyed having the ability to store our luggage after checkout, which was free and convenient.

United StatesOur bed was a little too firm but that is just a preference thing I think. I would have liked a little softer of a bed. Also, our room was hot and they turn their boiler off so there is no turning the temp down to make cooler. They had to come crack open our 9th floor window with a piece of wood to cool down our room. Interesting option… but it cooked down our room just fine.
Very unique! Loved the ambience of the whole inside. The books and quotes all over the walls and in the room were very neat.

United StatesEverything was amazing at Hotel Blake! The front desk and Showtime were the best parts to the hotel; one of the ladies working the front desk was even nice enough to take my birthday pictures! The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfy; I loved the bathroom especially the shower. There is a cafe connected to the hotel that also offers some great breakfast! The hotel was also pretty close to Downtown Chicago; it was walkable in comfy shoes. I would definitely stay here again for a Chicago trip.

SingaporeThere was no view whatsoever - we looked directly out at a huge wall of the next building. It was hard to tell what the weather condition was outside because we could see absolutely nothing except the wall!
Probably one of the prettiest hotel rooms that I've stayed in! Really loved the interior decor. The beds were very comfortable and plush, the room was spacious and the bathroom was lovely, albeit dim as the only light source was the mirror. Staff was friendly in a casual way, which felt nice. Location-wise, a short walk to the metro station, and within walking distance to Target. Generally, it felt safe in the daytime, though I wouldn't recommend coming back too late if you're walking or taking public transport.
