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.).

CanadaThe hotel was very loud- the people above my room stomped around a lot-not sure what they were doing. I could also hear the cleaning staff and anyone else in the hallway. Rooms could be better soundproofed.
Staff were awesome, room was small but lovely. Bed was comfy and location was great.

United KingdomWould have liked better in room amenities, the espresso machine is good, but some tea would have been nice, however I asked at reception and got some teabags. A magnifying mirror in the bathroom would also be handy.
Excellent location, lovely staff, great room with very comfortable bed. Enjoyed the food in the restaurant, also very nice wine.

United StatesThe location is what makes this hotel exceptional. You couldn't be closer to the entrance of the walking trail along the Charles River Esplanade or closer to the Red Line T stop! And right outside the door is Beacon Hill, which is so incredible charming. Also loved the later checkout (standard checkout is 12pm). There's also a restaurant in the lobby with a beautiful courtyard. I sat out there and read with a glass of wine one night and it was lovely!

BrazilThere was no option for milk or hot chocolate for breakfast. Just coffee or tea, which a lot of people like, but not everyone.
The location was great, the hotel was wonderfully scented and beautifully decorated. The rooms were very comfortable, with excellent beds and bathrooms. The reception staff, without exception, were very kind and helpful.

United KingdomThere was very little we didn’t like, except for the food smell that greeted us everytime we entered the reception, this was due to the integration of the restaurant into the main lobby/reception/ground floor of the hotel. Maybe a better extraction system could be installed?
This is a beautiful stylish boutique hotel in Beacon Hill, Charles Street. Beautiful location and it felt very special following its expandation and renovation of the previous John Jefferies House. It was very comfortable and the attention to detail in the rooms, was very nice. There is an outside courtyard, whilst it was small, it was a bit of a haven in the city!

United StatesMy husband and I each had a glass of wine at the bar. We both chose wines from the Loire Valley. I didn't think either the red or white met the expectations of that region of France.
The room was very clean and quiet. The lobby smelled wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The toiletries were really nice. The location was perfect for this trip.
