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.).

The halls were rundown carpet and smelled. The room didn't though so it was OK. But it makes the place feel cheap. If the rooms smelled I would not have stayed. Otherwise it's a nice place friendly staff. Great location.

Wish there was a train stop a little closer. Walking back at night was a journey but...thats Chicago! We ended up taking rideshare more often than planned so budget for that!
Beautiful hotel. Rooms were comfortable, but a little small. We didnt mind but maybe tight for more than 2 people. Cost was great for the area and we enjoyed our time.

The personnel were very kind, particularly at the breakfast time. We took this hotel as the first available option after a flight cancelation in Chicago. The person at the reception was so kind and also the person at breakfast time.

The view from the room we were given was literally into a wall and we had asked to be given one with a decent view. The bedrooms lack several comforts.
The location is unbeatable. The rooms are fine but I think for the price they could be MUCH better. The hotel is very nice, the room had hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, a desk and a chair, towels, coffee machine, TV... it's ok but it could be better.

We were disappointed in the parking situation. I thought I had read somewhere that if you scan a QR code at front desk you could get a discounted parking rate. When I looked for it before arriving I couldn't find it. I emailed the hotel and they didn't mention it. Rooms were pretty small as well.
Loved that the hotel is about 1 block from the beach and just around the corner from Michigan Ave.! Neat historic hotel (but showed wear and tear.) Door men were very friendly! Room was clean and quiet. Comfortable bed.

It's not so much that I didn't like but the room was smaller than I expected
I mostly like that the hotel was close to the beach and not too far from navy pier where I wanted to visit mainly. In general the location was excellent for me. All members of the staff were kind and friendly

Room 908 should be condemned. Damp, dirty and really bad smell of mould. Changed to a room on same floor on opposite side of hotel and it was perfect.
I was nervous about booking because of the mixed reviews but the price and location were perfect so I thought I'd go for it. I arrived quite late and when I checked in, the gentleman kindly upgraded me to a suite. Unfortunately the 'upgrade' was a downgrade, the room, 908 was dirty and had a terrible stale, mouldy smell that was so overpowering I eventually asked to change rooms to the normal King room I had booked. A completely different experience! Lovely, clean room with a comfy bed, no smell, clean windows and a very pleasant experience. Don't be afraid to ask to change rooms if you're given a dirty one!!!
