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 KingdomThe $100 deposit on top of full payment was a surprise. It was not communicated beforehand. Also it was not refunded straightaway on checkout. The receptionist mentioned that it could be anytime fro 3-30days which was not appropriate.
Easy access to city centre and BART station.

United States of AmericaCurtains could really use some upgrade. The ones in our room shows its age and are torn beyond repair. The a/c system is very noisy and making a lot of sounds during our stay even at night. Seriously needs fixing or upgrade.
It’s old charm look, location and close proximity to a lot of eateries. The hotel is old but amenities included are very adequate.

United KingdomOn arrival it took the staff member on the front desk a lot longer than expected to check us all in (a group of 14) and provide us all with room keys. The hotel knew what time we were arriving so this could of been done before arrival to prevent a longer wait than expected in the foyer. Another member of staff arrived and promptly sorted all the room keys which was appreciated. Apart from that our stay was great.
The hotel was in a great location just off Union Square and in great walking distance to a lot of restaurants, shops & Powell St public transport. Had a nice bar connected to the Hotel too. The rooms were kept clean and wifi was good. We also got a later check out to 1pm which we were very grateful for.

AustraliaThe room and bathroom are basic and small so as long as you aren't spending much time in the hotel, you'll be fine.
The location of Pickwick hotel is excellent. It's a $10 and 30min train ride from the airport, making it easy to access when lugging luggage around as it is half a block away from the train station. It is close to the main cable car stop for both lines, next to a mall and a nice straight walk down to Pier 1. The staff were super friendly also.

United States of AmericaThe pillows were not great; they were a bit too low for my liking.
I stayed for a conference, choosing a hotel conveniently located near the convention center where the event took place. Numerous restaurant options were available in the vicinity. The hotel was also not far from the Golden Gate (~20 min by car) and other tourist attractions.
