Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaThe elevator is unique and while there are multiple signs asking patrons not to pull the inner gate open or closed, it seems people fail to comply so the elevator is occasionally down. The elevator is one of the unique items in the hotel tho.
We love San Francisco and like to spend our anniversary, Valentine's day, there when we can. One reason we chose the Cornell is our history of staying there in the 90's and early 2000. We were also anxious to have a Valentine's dinner in the Jeanne d'Arc castle-like restaurant in the basement. The hotel is central to most things we like to see. It is beautifully decorated. It is quaint. The restaurant puts out a delicious fresh breakfast that is included in the room charge. Our dinner at the restaurant was excellent. It was very romantic and the environment is cozy.

ItalyThe breakfast very poor. Very disappointing. No ham, no cheese, no bacon (actually one day there was bacon but that days there was no sausages). No vegetables, no beans, no tomatoes, no mushrooms. No espresso, no cappuccino, just long American coffee. That’s was very disappointing for a French inspired hotel.
Room was ok, bed a bit too soft.

United KingdomEverything was great!
The room was lovely, clean and bright. The bathroom was large and had a great shower. The towels were great. They were large and fluffy. There was a coffee maker, a large TV with Netflix for guests. There were plenty of USB ports next to the bed. The hotel is just off the main street, very near Union Square. This might be a little noisy for some people but we fell asleep very easily. We loved the elevator - very "Only Murders in the Building". The complimentary breakfast was basic but very filling - croissants, toast, scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes and orange juice. A great start to the day. There is also a microwave and fridge for guests to use. The staff were happy to let us leave our bags after we checked out, without charge. We explored more of the city and returned later for our luggage.

SpainPublic parking. They take 40 USD per night, but you have to leave the car open, and you leave the keys inside. At the same time they do not take any responsibility for missing belongings. Not sure if that's a common practice in SF, but I wouldn't use that parking again.

AustraliaSome of the younger staff were not well informed about travelling around San Francisco.
Lovely provincial style rooms - this hotel has a lot of character. The very best thing in my 2 night stay was the ability to accommodate a very early arrival from Australia. After a 12 hour flight, it was delightful to be given entry to a junior suite at 7.30am. The hotel is in a good location, with friendly staff. It is also good value for money.

United KingdomOur room was quite small, with no room to get in and out of bed on one side, but it was clean and comfortable despite that.
The hotel is a small family run hotel within walking distance of everything you need. The staff were pleasant and helpful and we loved the quaint old fashioned lift. As the hotel restuarant was closed for refurbishment a light breakfast of yogurt, pastries, fruit, juice, tea and coffee was provided free of charge in a small room near reception......a very nice touch that was much appreciated.

United KingdomOur bed sheets were covered - and I mean, covered - in long black human hair which we had to pick off by hand; there was also a tumble dryer sheet caught up in the sheet. We note that other people have previously left similar reviews, so they need to sort out their laundry. The room smelt musty and needed dusting all the corners.
The location of the hotel is great.
