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 StatesDidn't like how the prices were really elevated during graduation weekend which is natural; these were extreme! Also no complimentary coffee! I can definitely see paying for a specialty coffee, but not filtered. Parking is alittle pricey, but in the city, spaces are limited. The room toilet ran all night even after fixing the float. Also why couldn''t the bathroom fan and light switch be separate? The fan and light came in when the switch was on. Bed mattress was way toooo soft for most sleepers!!!
Location, Location, Location---easy walk to VCU campus graduation! Unique features like the roof top bar! What a view of Richmond especially in the evening and night! Cute theme decor to match the hotel name! Game room was a hit with our young adults--shuffleboard, pool table, and large screen TV

United StatesI don’t have any “dislikes”. I would recommend reminding the housekeeping staff to dust the headboards as they were quite dusty.
The staff was wonderful. Kenya, our front desk agent helped sort out our check in as it wasn’t showing in their system from Booking.com. Thankfully, there were available rooms. The valet staff was the most efficient and courteous that I have encountered in quite awhile.

United StatesThe room coffee was not very good which I half expected because there was a coffee shop in the lounge. However, the coffee shop coffee was much worse. The breakfast buffet was $20 for fewer options than even Holiday Inn.
It was very clean and the lounge was comfortable. I loved the two rooms within a room family style suite vs what most hotels do which is just a shared door between two standard rooms. The kids even had their own bathroom. Even the bunk beds were comfortable. There was a wedding party staying at the hotel who were a bit rowdy in the lounge but we never heard another guest from our room.

King suite with 2 bathrooms was lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The location (for a wedding at the Jefferson) was perfect for us.
