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.).

RussiaThe breakfast is good but the variety is not big for a four star Hilton buffet As many noticed the A/C is too loud Some rooms have no view blurred windows The water in the shower jumps from cold to hot The light system in the room is weirdly arranged, you can’t switch on the lights separately, only altogether
Good quality for the price, nice location, nice lobby, nice pool with a view, clean, hospitable

United StatesIt isn't in a dangerous part of town, but there isn't much to do nearby. Expect to take a taxi to eat and drink out. Parking is included, but hard to find. You have to access it at the back of the building and start finding a spot at about the fourth floor. From the fourth floor, you then have to take an elevator to check in at a desk on the 18th floor. It's a nice hotel, just that the check-in process needs to be a little clearer.
Large clean room, large clean bed, bathroom had a good walk-in shower, very good breakfast buffet with hot and cold items, reasonably priced bar drinks, 24 hour convenience store on the ground floor that also does a sort of room service. Given breakfast was included, I found the price of the room very reasonable.

United StatesNo A/C within the hallways and some elevators. Parking lot entrance was blocked with traffic cones instead of some sort of automated gate A/C within the room wasn't configured to provide maximum comfort The mini fridge wasn't cooling enough. Only 1 nightstand in the room is not enough. No bedside lighting available.
Not crowded, and ample rooms. Prompt response to room maintenance issues Staff were always willing to accommodate guest's requests

EcuadorBreakfast buffet could have a little more variety in this price class. Still very good though. The listing said airport transport service was included, however it wasn't.
Really great location between the Guayaquil river promenade and the garden on one side and the Panama street restaurants on the other. I liked the rooftop pool and the view from the hotel is absolutely spectacular.

United StatesThis would only affect a small amount of people but there was not much I could eat at breakfast as a vegan. Would be nice if potatoes, avocado, granola, oatmeal, or some other non animal based options were included.
Really nice hotel. Modern rooms, large bathroom, included airport transfers and buffet breakfast. The location is perfect, right next to Malecon. Rooftop is the star- with bar, and infinity pool…excellent place to hang out.

EcuadorPerhaps someone could check the rooms to verify everything is in place thus there is no need to call for a few things tht are needed. Might be a good idea to offer some kind of reward to people that stay for several days or weeks most of the good hotels do.
The location is excellent, price very reasonable We stayed at the hotel for several weeks. Location is ideal near to everything and great views.
