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 AmericaWe were in building 3 and got lost getting there more than once in the brief stay. It was frustrating, but probably could have been made easier for us. The rooms are dated. It looks like the lobby was upgraded, but not the rooms.
Loved the location on the marina. We had a view, but since we attended a wedding the first day, we didn't really get to enjoy it. Of course, the cookies were fantastic. We even gave one to our Uber driver when he talked about the cookies. The lobby is beautiful.

SingaporeThe directions to the hotel room weren’t enough, we couldn’t find our room and had to get help. In the bathroom, the hot and cold water directions were the opposite and took us some time to figure out without any clear indications
Was clean and right next to the dock so you could see ships and enjoy a beautiful morning stroll

Location of the hotel in Berkeley Marina is superb. Excellent value for money breakfast. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Option for daily or every other day service of the room. Common areas very inviting and relaxing with superb view.

United States of AmericaDated furniture and decor, the wood of bathroom door deteriorating. No exhaust fan in the bathroom (Isn't this against the law?) Penetrating odor in the hotel (due to cleaning agents?) Patio door eeds to be better cleaned. (Didn't get a chance to use pool or hot tub).
We liked the room with a view of the Marina best. Ample opportunity to walk to birding area on one side and Cesar Chavez Park on the other. Quiet. Nice size room. Attentive staff. Restaurant was quite good.

United States of AmericaThere was no furniture on the balconies (except for the marina view rooms), no microwave in room as stated in the ad, and parking was very highly priced. The hardware on the front door for protection was very cheap and could easily be broken off by anyone trying to get into the room.
The location on the marina, having an outside dining option, and the staff were all wonderful. The rooms were very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast add-on option was a great value!

United States of AmericaOur room was on the 2nd floor, we wanted to let some fresh air in; but our balcony sliding door wouldn’t open. The air conditioning was adjustable from wall; but the unit was very loud. Also, exiting the parking, we needed the room key; but the room key would never work on the exit. The room key did work entering the parking again though. Other than those few issues; the stay was nice; the hotel was clean.
Nice views; not too much traffic.

United States of AmericaThe carpets and walls were a bit shabby and the tv selection was lame. I was disappointed as a breakfast was advertised as included in the price but this was a fallacy. It is only included if you have some over-the-top gold plated membership. The parking was also kind of steep at $35 per day. We were located dab smack right next to the elevator, which was disruptive for a quiet night of sleep. Also there were $5 little plastic water bottles in the room for sale with a tag on them which said “Stay hydrated” which I thought was rather comical.
The view from the room included the marina and SF in the distance which was lovely. The walk around the marina was pleasant. Our tiny balcony overlooking the marina was a lovely spot to enjoy an almond croissant from Berkeley Bowl for breakfast-see note about breakfast below. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom toilette products were nice.

United States of AmericaThey leave two small bottles of water in your room with a 5 dollar price tag on each one and note that says, “stay hydrated.” Then I received an email in the morning saying they had charged me for the water even though we hadn’t touched them. They refunded the money but still! I’m glad we weren’t I’m the Mojave desert! It should be illegal to charge $5 for a less than 1$ bottle of water - ever!
Great bed and great view.

United States of AmericaNo complaints on this place from us. Concerning the location, if you do not have a car, use Uber/Lyft, or do not like to walk, this may not be the place for you. Walking distance into downtown Berkeley was about 3 miles.
We had a great experience at this hotel. We were upgraded to a bay view room with a balcony and enjoyed the view of the marina. We used the pool everyday and found the fitness area nice and clean. The location is close to a few parks and trails .

BrazilThe location is in a marina, isolated from shops, restaurants and other means of transport. It is far from downtown Berkeley and San Francisco. If you don't have a car, you spend a lot on taxis or Uber.
