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.).

AustriaGreat location in general and close to the airport. We enjoyed the room size and the comfy beds also the option of free parking. After we left I noticed that I must have forgotten my hoodie in the room. I contacted the hotel via WhatsApp and was quickly assisted by Diego Quesada. He located the missing item and arranged a taxi ( extra costs obviously) to get it to the airport. Thanks again for helping out and for your quick response, Diego!

I discovered the Studio Hotel on Booking.com and ended up staying here for only one night as Santa Ana was my last stop before heading to the airport the next day. My biggest regret is not spending more time here! This is a beautiful hotel. It is charming. The entire hotel is like a museum. The staff were super friendly and I loved my room very much. I didn't get a chance to use the restaurant, bar or pool, but I enjoyed walking the floors and spending countless minutes admiring the amazing art pieces. I enjoyed the convenience of the onsite parking garage and felt very comfortable. Santa Ana city center is a very short walk away, with many options for food and bars. I definitely have to come back!

Beautiful hotel with true style and a great team with a rooftop bar and pool. The artwork is amazing, it's clean, and has a great team. What more could you ask for?

United StatesWe were not as sleepy as usual because it was the start of our trip and we were excited, but the beeping from people going in and out of there room made it hard to sleep. When the keys are used to enter, it makes two beeps and seemed very loud.
I loved the art. It’s amazing because it’s like you’re in an art museum. There’s also a cool, giant tree with seating under it in the front. The breakfast was very good. It was nice to have the taxi from the airport.

United StatesWe didn’t find anything we didn’t like about the property other than a few staff members that gave us weird looks like we didn’t belong in their hotel. At breakfast, an older woman that seemed controlling kept staring at my teens and even corrected my 27 yr old daughter when she used the “wrong plate” to get her food. Granted the woman did ask her if she wanted to switch to a larger plate when I came up to my daughter to see what was happening. I’m assuming she thought my daughter was a teen? Who knows. We felt we couldn’t really enjoy breakfast because the woman seemed like she was making sure we were doing the right thing. She was like the “cafeteria police” haha!
This place looks like a museum. Beautiful hotel with gorgeous art work all around and smelled nice and clean too! The food was great! Beds super comfortable!
