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):
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.
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.).

United StatesSheets smelled like curry & sweat. Do you use detergent?!?!
The Friendly and accommodating staff make up for the lack of hygiene this hotel has. When I complained, it’s like they were expecting it. So they tossed in a few towels & water bottles. They helped make it better, but it’s just a gross hotel. It’s absolutely filthy, old, and was extremely uncomfortable. Dusty and my allergies were worse. Had a hard time sleeping… The toilet didn’t flush, it was horrible.

United StatesThe Manager was unprofessional none of the staffs seemed to be educated on a guest booking through a third party and kept stating their policy instead and tried to over charge and send the guest I booked for away and then tried to charge for a no show when he did indeed showed up.They also authorized the new amount without my authorization and did not speak to me first. A lot of unprofessional stuff went on and my rights felt broken.
It was nice a tidy.

UkraineThe room was very noisy since the window overlooks the highway, so I couldn't sleep well. Secondly, we were flooded and some of my stuff got wet. I didn't intend to complain first, but when I left I got shocked they charged me 100$ for damaged bedding. I had chosen the hotel because it was the host hotel of the Worlds Natural Bodybuilding Championship and I was taking part in it. I was tanned and stained the towels with my tan a bit, but such stains are easily removable while washing. I don't agree I damaged the bedding there. If the hotel agreed to be the host hotel of such an event, they should have been ready for athletes covered with tan. All of the above ruined my overall experience.

United KingdomThe noise of the traffic/trains etc was horrendous - kept us awake most nights - all night. They obviously know this is an issue as they have a white noise switch to try to supposedly help - I have no idea why all it does is make more noise!
The size of the room was OK however wardrobe space was ridiculously small

United StatesThere were so very loud guests who yelled and screamed in the hallways for hours. Drunken bellowing. Management was unable to quiet them so WE ended up having to switch rooms!! Very inconvenient. Also it was a cold night and it was annoying to have to switch rooms and wait for the new one to warm up.
Convenient to the highway but perhaps too much so. Noisy traffic could be heard everywhere in the hotel.

United StatesThe smell of the room was awful. I know the heat had been just turned on but it should have been aired out before allowing anyone to stay in the room.
The staff were very friendly and I appreciate that your staff took the parking fee off due to the smell. The room was very clean.

RomaniaUnfortunately, the noise from the Mass Turnpike, located directly beneath the hotel, was intense. Even though I knew about this from reviews, I didn’t expect it to be as disruptive as it was – even on the 8th floor, the traffic noise woke me up multiple times. Additionally, the bed and pillows were not very comfortable, and the AC wasn’t working properly, leaving the room quite cold during my first few nights. I also requested extra coffee pods, but only decaf was available. Overall, the hotel offers good value for its location and amenities, but the noise and comfort issues were significant drawbacks for me.
I recently stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is convenient – just a 20-25 minute bus ride to downtown Boston, with a bus stop nearby. The room was spacious, and the staff was friendly and helpful, especially at the lobby bar. Breakfast was decent, though quite expensive, and could definitely use a bit more variety.

United StatesI doubt that the hotel was fully booked and to allow a senior citizen couple in a room that was over the highway with exorbitant noise all night long is inexcusable
NOISE during the night was exhausting. the traffic on the highway below kept us up all night!! sounding like a train coming through the room in some cases. other times the trucks and noise was overwhelming. We were for my nephew's surgery. Couldn't deal with it
