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 StatesVending machines would not take cash, only credit cards. Sort of silly to charge your credit card $1.50 for a candy bar or soda. Dinner was not available second night of stay, no advance notice for closing bar & grill at Executive Inn next door.
Housekeeping very friendly and efficient. Great view of San Francisco skyline from 3rd floor room.

United StatesSmiles more greetings speaking, to customers, I noticed this with most the staff. I understand in today's times, the problems around the World Or in our own backyard we're you live even. Things are hard we still need to great others, with A Smile it could change a person day a simple hello Or good morning afternoon, good evening.
The Room was Outstanding with the prices. I spent 4 nights. I enjoyed myself. The room Gave me comfort like a mini-vacation. Very quiet around the facility. The facility also was well kept common ground. The breakfast buffet Was worth the money I spent 4nights. I would recommend this location to other friends and family.

United StatesThe moved the morning breakfast to their sister hotel next door. Obvious cost saving move. Not super convenient. They should, IMO, at least offer a scaled down version at this location, and if you want the larger options, you can walk next door. No servicing of the fitness room, even after I mentioned it at the front desk. No towels for three days in a row.
Quiet stay, comfortable bed and room. Not very busy over the Thanksgiving weekend. Overall a good value.

United StatesLots of security on the door wall and a safe in the room - which is a plus if it didn't scream be careful. The breakfast was very good. Revelry at 7:54 from across the water was unexpected, as was the smell of pot coming from the walkway below us.
It was nice to be on the water, but the area seemed to be recovering. The hotel was clean and new-looking. The pool is at another property and not open on Sunday. The restaurant was also not open on Sunday. Very convenient to the expressway.

United KingdomThe local area is a bit run down., a lot of homeless people and it didn’t feel safe to walk in the evening so either the bar restaurant or delivery dinner. Also the walk to the local bus stop or metro was worrying.
The room was large, comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a good selection for breakfast and a limited menu but good quality option for dinner in the next door building.

United StatesI couldn't stay longer!
Due to transportation issues, I was very early. Like 0900 early. But Miss Kayla was a life saver. As a courtesy she got me checked in at 0900! I could have cried honestly, as I had just arrived from Seattle via a 24 hour train ride. Rooms were clean and house keeping made sure I always had clean towels and linens. Bathroom was huge and I loved the shower as well as the soaking tub. Breakfast was good and I never left the day hungry. Gym was basic with some cardio equipment and some cable weights. Got the job done. Location toward the freeway didn't look the most aesthetic but the rooms facing the water were quiet and serene with a view of SF in the distance.
