How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The building had an unpleasant smell, carpets looked dirty and elevator was old enough and slow to scare anyone.

Verified reviewGood location, very convenient to get to know historic places, try good restaurants and also experience the night life in San Diego.
The pixtures don't do any justice to the actual place. The building is old and has a very particular smell between humidity and dirt. It doesn’t look like there’s a lot of maintenance work to keep everything in good conditions so you get the impression that your bedroom, the halls and everything else is just not taken care of. The walls are very thin on top of that and you hear everything going on at the bars downstairs.

Verified reviewthe rooms were spacious, larger than i'd imagine. i didn't expect them to be so, and didn't really need all that space but still, it was nice. and the location, near the Convention Center, was convenient.
was this supposed to be an air b&b with breakfast? i didn't get one. in fact, i received no amenities at all. not even a glass for any of the three sinks. i had to go to a room that was unmaintained and looked like a sloppily maintained closet. and several of the electrical outlets didn't work. and all the windows were filthy. i was on the fourth floor but still, the pleasant view was spoiled because i had to look through dirt and grime. there's more, but it's too unpleasant to think about it.

Verified reviewThe staff went above and beyond with their hospitable greetings, checking in for what I may need and parking knowledge.
I didn't like the lack of parking spaces designated for the hotel guests

Verified reviewThe hotel was old but very well maintained and clean. The staff was nice and friendly. The location is perfect. I would love to stay there again when I have another chance to visit San Diego.
There is another hotel called the Keating Hotel at 815 F St, San Diego, and Google map tried to direct me to that one several times. So a clear guidance of distinguish would be helpful.

Verified reviewFabulous mannerism, great courtesy and prompt response of the Keatings people to my suggestions over there
They could add a few basic amenities like a few ready mix tea sachets, tooth paste/brush and also see the possibility of working out to provide breakfast, of course at some cost

Verified reviewThe location is unbeatable for the price being right in downtown! The staff was very nice and helpful as well and the bed was comfy.
Like many of the other reviews have said it is LOUD! The property does provide earplugs but be prepared to still hear police sirens at 3 am right outside. The TV remote also worked 10% of the time and there is only 1 microwave in the building to share and no icemaker to note. There also was no cleaning staff that comes by and picks up garbage or does the towels like in other hotels you’ll need to ask for more towels.
