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 bathroom did not have towels. We had to call for some to be brought up to us. Parking - I had to pay $10 for parking (not disclosed) but not too expensive Room was a little small and people across the way were inconsiderate to others during late hours. Not the hotel's fault, but a lot of homeless people hanging out in front of the hotel. Not a good feeling to come in late in the evening.
No deposit needed. Great front desk service and they accommodated an early check-in for an additional fee which they did disclose. The hotel was centrally located for all our planned events.

Was last minute stay, so was amazed of the value of the room to book for a friday night till Saturday morning. This location is near our music venue destinations in down town San Diego and has plenty of restaurants in walking distance.

United States of AmericaParking in the rear lot made heading downtown more difficult because of all the one-way streets. Hall carpeting was quite stained and our room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke until we left the windows open.
The location was only a 10-minute walk from the trolley, Little Italy and had easy access from downtown. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and we appreciated windows that fully opened. Staff were very friendly. On-site parking was really convenient. Price was more reasonable than other nearby lodging.

AustraliaWe have never stayed somewhere that charges $20 for an early check-in, and to get there 1 hour early to find out this was the case was a bit disappointing. Everywhere that we have ever stayed has either let us check in early due to the room being ready, or not check in early as the room wasn't ready.. This room was literally ready and waiting for us, and it feels to be a bit of a kick in the face to have to pay an extra $20, to get in 1 hour early considering this hotel is already over-priced for what you get. Staff were also a bit unhelpful, and the place had advertised $6 parking on the booking.com ad, however they then charged me $10 for this.. when I questioned that I was told that they were nothing to do with booking.com and that it is $10. I then checked their website to find that it was also advertised as $6 on there.. I know it is only $4, but I was annoyed that they had scammed me and lied to me about it just being an error on booking.com. When I questioned a different staff member about this issue, he refunded me the $4 as he understood my query.
Location was good, close to waterfront park. Shower pressure was good, bed was comfy enough. Though we didn't use them, it is good to have washing facilities available.

Friendly staff, convenient location but not in the main tourist areas. We needed somewhere for parking and it was ideal. There are a couple of decent bars nearby if you only want a short walk. The staff and friendly and helpful. There is a lot of homelessness in the area.
