Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Elevator wasn’t working. Our 1st room smelled really bad of cleansers covering up pet smells. Front desk was very good with switching us to another room. Room was OK but you can hear everything next door. The room rate was really high during the weekend we were there.

The elevator was not working. The hotel needs some more attention to detail and it would be a higher rated hotel. Like the noisy fans, cleaning corners, nothing to major.
Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and it's practically on Univ of Buffalo's campus.

The stench of weed that permeated the halls and elevator. I thought it was supposed to be a non-smoking facility. It didn't come in to our room so I didn't complain about it but it was really gross. It smelled like a skunk sprayed. During our (Monday) morning breakfast, the lady working inexplicably started mopping the floor whilst us and other guests were trying to prepare food and enjoy our meal. Like, there wasn't a spill or anything and it was 8:30, the breakfast didn't end for another hour. It felt like we were being rushed out. And whatever was used the wash the floor made it really sticky and everyone's shoes were sticking and making noises. I understand a food area needs to be kept clean constantly but maybe you could wait to do a final task like floor washing till the guests have finished their meal and the breakfast room is closed.
Room was perfect. Super clean and completely suited our needs. Front desk staff was polite and helpful. Check-in and out was a breeze. The complimentary breakfast was great, it was everything we wanted and the coffee was delicious. Parking lot was clean and easy to maneuver and we could see our car from our room.

When we walked onto the floor we were staying n the heavy smell of pot hit us immediately off the elevator. Luckily we were only dropping our suitcase off and heading back out. This is a no smoking facility. I would hope that extends to marijuana and vapes

For the price you pay per night ($300+!!) this hotel was underwhelming. The first room they placed us in smelled terribly of cigarette smoke. They then placed us in another room which was much better, but early morning hours we smelled cigarette smoke coming from somewhere. For a non smoking hotel and paying $300 a night this was a disappointment. I have never been disappointed with a Hampton Inn, so next time through the area I will stick with what I know is good.
This hotel was ok for what was needed, a place to sleep overnight close to Niagar Falls. It was also a quiet hotel which is always appreciated.
