How guest reviews work
Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

I thought it was a closer walk to UD campus and Amtrak station.
Staff, especially Jody, were excellent. Best HVAC system I've encountered--didn't wake up multiple times in night because of noise. they accommodated my requests, no pushback. Nice to see they have special program for UDEL parents.

It was more expensive then I would like but the convenience of being so close to the campus where my daughter goes made up for it a bit.
The staff was really helpful and the kitchen was open late and I was even able to find something for my son who has celiac disease so that was a bonus.

Can’t think of a thing. Not sure we were that happy about paying for hot water to make a cup of tea, but the Starbucks machine made excellent coffee in the morning.
The server at breakfast was A M A Z I N G…so helpful, kind and energetic. She put a smile on our faces each morning. We also had great service by the bartender in the evenings.

Bagged breakfast was a granola bar, a sealed muffin and a bottle of water, nothing special or filling. The shower valve in rm 206 was loose and hard to control the temperature. The pool and hot tub were closed… The price was not cheap, so the breakfast and shower should not be… and disappointing that the pool was also out of service.
Nice lobby area, useful little market, room clean, nicely furnished, beds were comfortable, right on UD campus, near downtown Newark!

We specifically booked here as they listed an indoor pool which was sadly closed (and apparently about to be renovated into a large gym). My daughter was devastated as she had been looking forward to swimming all day - super let down.
Super convenient location to UD campus. Breakfast was ordering from a counter, super yummy along with my Starbucks Chai Latte. Beds were comfy, room was clean.

Wi-fi was spotty and sometimes non-existent. While I could connect to their network, their network or at least the repeater near me had no internet connection. I talked to the front desk and was connected to their conference wifi which does not work above the first floor. They didn't want to reboot the modem.
I was working at the University of Delaware, so the location was perfect. They made sure I had a quiet room which I'd requested.

They charged me for an extra night after I told them on check in that I would be checking out before the date they had down. I was told on check on they would charge me for it regardless of whether or not I stayed in the room. When I complained following my stay the manager claimed they charged me extra because I checked out late contradicting the information I was told on check in and outright lying to me on foot of my complaint.
