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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesOur dinner. See above. Also the room air conditioner was difficult control so the room was on the hot and stuffy side.
Breakfast was very good. However, we were disappointed in our dinner entrees. My salmon was over cooked and bland. My wife's chicken dish lacked flavor and was not tender. I ordered a Manhattan and it was not good, not mixed properly and was pink. We skipped dinner there the following night and went out.

IndiaThe air conditioner which was housed inside a shaft in the room was very noisy!
Indeed it does have a historic feel about it. There are informative and interesting posters, art and pictures scattered about the hotel. Has lovely outdoor seating spaces to enjoy a drink or just sit and read. The front desk staff were very courteous.

United StatesThis is a historic hotel so the rooms are smaller than modern places. However the bathrooms are updated and very clean.
We loved our stay at this historic hotel in Berea! The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings was appreciated. There are many gathering areas on the main level filled with charming touches, like fresh flowers. The friendly staff made our stay!

United StatesIt was difficult to sleep. The a/c controls are not very good. The best I could figure was you could set a timer for 30 or 60 minutes, then it would stop running. So, I got up every 30 minutes, then every 60 minutes to turn it back on. I defaulted to ceiling fan and opening the window, but the ceiling fan roars (it's too loud to sleep and with the occasional car/truck rumbling by, it's not an option. Also while I think a duvet is fine in the cold weather, there's not an option for a sheet and a light blanket.
The location was perfect. I was there for a family event, but was able to visit and learn about Berea College and thought that was a bonus. The staff are excellent. Perfect on that account.

United StatesSpecific to my room, #328, here are the things that would have boosted my 4's to 5's. (1) A small work desk. (2) A chair. (Any chair, but preferably one to go with the desk. I had a Zoom meeting scheduled and had to use the ironing board for a desk as I sat on the bed. Not ideal, but it worked.) (3) A working bedside lamp. I never could get the one I had to work, even after the staff provided new lightbulbs and I switched out plugs as well, just in case. So it goes.
Loved the location, the staff, the historic ambiance. Extra special surprise was being referred to Papa Leno's for dinner after Boone's restaurant had closed. Papa Leno's Italian sandwich (cold) was excellent.
