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 StatesHallways smelled like weed. The coffee maker in my room was broken.
On site parking that was included in the rate was very nice. The room was clean. I paid for a lake view and received a lake view. Staff was very friendly. The coffee maker in the lobby was nice.

United States1. The parking lot needs to be resurfaced and painted. Rough ride and hard to distinguish parking spots. 2. This is pretty far south of the loop, Mag Mile, Navy Pier and other tourist destinations in the city. I would recommend to tourists only if they are comfortable driving in the city. Plus, it is like three minutes off Lake Shore Drive
Super convenient location for my overnight business trip—beer festival at Museum of Science and Industry. Relatively cheap room that comes with free parking and breakfast, plus a view of the lake at sunrise! Even though I stayed on a Saturday night, the hotel itself was pretty quiet and we saw very few other guests during the stay. My impression is the hotel doesn’t have many rooms, which is great. The bed and pillows were surprisingly comfortable (no bed bugs, either, we always examine bedding with flashlights before use). Check-in and -out were a breeze. No problem getting a free parking spot, either.

United StatesRoom was large. Staff was always smiling and welcoming. Breakfast was refilled in a timely manner. There is a spot to charge electric vehicles. Very nice walking/jogging path across the street. My nephew slept on the pull out couch and there was a black bra left from a previous guest underneath the couch. :(

United StatesOur toilet was clogged. I got a plunger from the desk and fixed it my self. Because there was no maintenance available at the time! Also the surrounding of the building was a little scary and sketchy probably wouldn't of care about it if my daughter's weren't with me. Other than that everything was great. They did offer me a different room but we were on a rush!
Staff were amazing.

United StatesThat one of the rooms that was offered had an overwhelming smell that there was a fire. It was true, the room was renovated but had a fire as well as the floor was soaked with water from the air conditioning unit. I was moved to another room but finally did not get situated until after 1:30 am. I was still impressed with the staff! We all worked together until a happy median was reached.
The staff was amazing! I had recently had surgery and the staff at such a short notice accommodated my needs. The app showed an accommodation on the website that was not available upon our arrival and the property switched my room x4 until my needs were met. Thank you!

United StatesI didn’t like the people that was hanging around the outside of the hotel, I’m not sure why there were so many people and kids sitting outside throughout the day and night, like it was their home. Definitely made me uncomfortable when I arrived because I wasn’t sure if it right location due the hotel sign says Best Western and underneath it had Chicago Lakeshore hotel. It made me second guess myself but when I entered the hotel it was very nice. I didn’t like I had to put a $100 deposit down even though I paid in advance. They stated it was only a hold and it will be released after checkout (if no damage) I was unaware of this and didn’t it this on site and the guy at the front desk was clueless when it came to locating this deposit on website.
The breakfast was good (hot breakfast), the room was good and clean (just like the picture). I enjoyed the free parking (covered garage is small). Staff was friendly and polite.

Italythe breakfast had a very limited choice. The bed is not very comfortable. At the check in there were two persons (call them A and B) and one guest. I arrived and asked to the B because A was talking with the other guest. B told me they were making the check-in for the guest, so I had to wait. After some minutes the guest moved away, so I asked again to both of them, and they told me in a rude way that the first guest was still making the check-in. How could I know? Anyway A continued making check in and the B looked at her. After other minutes A went away, and B(alone) made me the check-in!!!!
