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...).

CanadaThere is no room service or swimming pool. There might have been a sign about there being food available in the bar, but we asked as we didn't see one. Housekeeping was a bit "hit and miss" as they did not clean every day. Is this standard for here? There was no note about this.
The bed was very comfortable. The washroom was huge. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch. The bar/pub serves food as well, but with only high top tables & stools, at the bar or seated on a sofa, so very casual. The food was very good. There are no other amenities.

United StatesThe bed and facilities were good but the AC was quite loud so it was tough to maintain quiet and keep the room cool at the same time. The facilities also felt a bit older / outdated, which contributed to its charm but also it felt a bit worn. It would also be nice to have breakfast included or a cheaper option. I also would love a water machine or a way to refill water without so many plastic water bottles (which were offered free of charge).
The staff was great, the location was very nice (right off Michigan Avenue and easy lake access for runs, walks, beach, etc), and the value was pretty good. I stayed here for a wedding at The Drake and it was the perfect spot. Regardless, for the location and price, I felt all aspects were reasonable and good and the service was great.

AustraliaI want to particularly commend Hans at the front desk, he was very kind and when I asked if I could have a look at the crystal ballroom which I understand is well known, he helped me to do so as it was a quiet time, and he asked the engineer to turn on the lights. It is service like this which will make a big impact on customers, thank you v much Hans!

United StatesPremises could use an update. Common areas and rooms are clean, however room windows are dingy. Shower in the middle of the shower is very awkward. Also the shower area is slippery and has no hand bars to hold on to, it felt dangerous Restaurant closes too early. No signs to indicate that the bar area serves food. Nightside front desk staff not as friendly as the morning’s.
Location is excellent. Having a restaurant on the premises is very useful. Food is good. Restaurant staff is excellent. Rooms and beds are comfortable. Housekeeping and maintenance are edficient, nice and polite. Doorman David is very nice and friendly. Gabino on the front desk is very nice and helpful. A very nice property with an old world charm.

United StatesThree things. I checked in online and was told I just needed to pick up keys at front desk. However I had to go through whole check in process again in person and it took at least 10 minutes to check in. Very slow especially after waiting for 10 minutes for the guest checking in ahead of us. Then there is the resort fee that includes "complimentary" WiFi. Not really complimentary considering this hotel has very limited facilities. Finally, the room was very warm but the fan would not turn on. Maintenance came up and told us the AC had not yet started for the season and the fan would not work unless we cranked up the heat. The solution for any ventilation in the room was to open the very heavy window and put a block of wood under it to keep it open a few inches. Not ideal due to street noise.
Bed was comfortable and location of hotel excellent.
