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.).

it feels very provisto but at the same time it’s a hotel so it feels safe and quiet and there are shampoos and stuff. no self cleanup needed.

AustraliaThere are only two lockers large enough to fit suitcases and they were already being used when we arrived. We had to leave our luggage unattended for hours until check in at 4pm. It would be good to put some extra lockers in. The toilet was also exceptionally loud and there was a bit of mould in the shower.
The property is well equipped and beautiful. Location is great.

SONDER is in a lively part of Philly and highly recommended if you wish to discover the touristy sites as well as backstreets and nice restaurants etc.

Australiathere are not many lights in the room except a few lamps and only 1 window with blinds too thick too fully open. this meant the room was dark in majority of the main common areas all day and made the room feel abit gloomy. The shower also had some mould spots not cleaned prior to our arrival.
location was great!! contactless check in/out was convenient.

NetherlandsWe have struggled with the coffee machine and with casting a movie on the tv using the chrome cast that comes with the apartment.
This summer we travelled the US-east coast and stayed in 3 sonder apartments: Philadelphia, Washington and Orlando. First 2: only my wife and myself, while our grown-up daughters joined us in Orlando. We are very enthusiastic about all sonder apartments: they offer great value for money, are modern and/or well maintained, clean, on good locations and provided with comfortable beds. On top of that, their customer service (direct contact, phone, chat) is of excellent quality when we approached them for unusual check-in/out possibilities and they contacted us on lost items even before we found out that we left something. For future trips I will definitely check sonder first for places to stay. Philly: nice, historical building; located above good restaurant; vibrant area; city bikes just across the street; liberty bell within walking distance.

United KingdomNothing everything is perfect but you need at least to handle app in your phone as the property is very technical in the process of checking in and getting access to the property.
Everything I want to see in Philly was very accessible because of this hotel, from tourist destinations, bus and trains are just a few distance away including food outlet/restaurant and shopping. You will also be able to see the city architectures very near in this site.

Czech RepublicThe AC was very loud (but we were thankful for it), also there was a gap in the door to the room, so we could very clearly hear what other people were saying in the room opposite from us.
The size of the room was above normal, nice and clean, in a great location.

United StatesThe AC didn’t work well in my room - I’m perpetually cold at night, but I woke up a few times overheating. I noticed that even though I had set the AC to 70° it never went below 73° at night and I found it up to 75°. There’s also clearly staff members or hotel guests smoking within the property, which made the shared spaces stink at certain times of day. Given the great location in Center City, you can expect the street to be a bit noisy. Perhaps better insulation would help keep noise out and make the room temperature more comfortable.
The property was located within walking distance of many great restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and attractions, as well as public transportation. The room felt spacious and was beautifully renovated in a way that kept some original charm of the building.

CanadaNot really bad aspect, more like a personal opinion, not a huge fan of not having a reception, It feels warmer when you arrive and visit a new city! Still, the stay was great, just another type of accommodation!
The location is perfect! The fully remote instructions are easy to get, and you feel independent very quickly. The room was really clean and comfy!
