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 AmericaI had an injury that required me to stay in room one day. They are updating rooms so a bit of construction noise (not at NIGHT), but I am sure this is not a common occurrence. It is nice they want to make there place up to date.

IsraelUnfortunately had to remind the staff few times to clean the room and change the sheets. The room had a ceiling fan, but not the air-conditioner.
The staff was very helpful and nice. And the hotel itself was clean. The location is excellent, close to Balboa Park, and a walking range from downtown.

ItalyThe room was not so comfortable, plus walls are really subtle and we could ear any kind of noise coming from the next room. Our room did not correspond to the pictures. However, we were compensated with a reimbursement about it, so it was not a big deal and we are overall satisfied.
Location was perfect, very close to downtown, and personnel was extremely nice, helpful and polite.

United States of AmericaI wish there was an option to make the shower door private to have others access the restroom at the same time. I was unsatisfied that there were no outlets in the bathroom. It was surprising that our key card stopped working and we were locked out at night. Luckily, I had taken a photo of the emergency number in the front desk, which is was saved us because there was no one up front and no numbers posted to client view. A long mirror and A/C or fan would've be appreciated.
I liked that there was an extra bed up in the ceiling, but hoped that this could have been properly communicated when booking the room as there was a bit of a cost difference between a similarly advertised room. I appreciated the tv, the dishes & utensils provided, mini-fridge, microwave, and shelves. I love the modernized look! Overall, I would return.

United States of AmericaThere wasn't anyone on site to answer questions. The airplanes flying over before landing at the nearby airport were a bit of a distraction in the evening. We stripped the bed as asked and discovered on of the pillows had old, dried blood on it.

United States of AmericaOur queen room was small and just adequate: bed, a chair, no manual AC control except for a ceiling fan, no sink in the bath/shower room, a sink but no soap or towel in kitchenette, the window faced a wall. the junior suite was more pleasant with a balcony, a full bed and a full Murphy bed, but some noise from landing planes was a bother.
the location is their main positive. It's an easy walk to Balboa Park's museums, and well as within a mile to the Midway and Little Italy. kitchenette with fridge, Microwave, Keurig, a couple of plates. the bed was very comfortable. the room was very quiet facing away from the street.
