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 AmericaSome of the appliances and things in the room were dated. Loose door handles, missing top lock (completely unscrewed), closet door kept jamming due to either rust or dirt, the bathtub was probably the worst. It had this weird stain in it as if someone had thrown up in it, imagine how horrified I was when I scratched it off with a Clorox wipe. WHAT REALLY BOTHERED ME, was the staff. The manager working 5/18/2024, was a sweetheart. Very understanding and patient. However, the other folks running the desk were completely unprofessional. As I sat in the lobby awaiting to check in, I overheard from across the room clear as day, an employee asking her coworkers if they had read a recent review the hotel received by an unhappy visitor. Not only was this woman’s language offensive, her tone and demeanor behind what she was saying was completely inappropriate. I understand you get tough customers but there is a time and place to express your “work frustration” and it’s definitely not on the floor with people who can hear how you talk about your patrons. I didn’t catch her name, but she had a couple tattoos and prescription glasses. She wasn’t very welcoming either. This hotel needs a serious customer service training course and a proper work etiquette refresher.
I loved the location, very convenient lots of food and shopping around and a beautiful view of the city also right by the freeway that takes you to SF

United States of AmericaNo frills, very standard room, not the room I booked. I booked a king room and ended up with a standard double over looking parkinglot. The room was clean but because it’s an older hotel gave the bathroom specifically the shower was dated and dingy.
Rooms were clean and comfortable . Staff friendly and inviting. Convenient area next to eateries and shopping.

United States of AmericaFront desk clerks should always check a reservation to make sure that a customer always gets what they paid for, without having to ask for the prepaid services. Waiters should always remember that they aren't entitled to a tip & when they bill items to someone's room, they need to not bill something that the customer has already paid for.
Breakfast was good. I paid extra at my booking for breakfast. I was given coupons to cover breakfast, but only after I asked for them to honor my prepayment. I took my coupons to get breakfast & the waiter told me the coupons only covered the meal, not the tip. Feeling pressured, I told him to bill a $5.50 tip to my room. He proceeded to bill our breakfasts & tip to my room. Which I had to straighten out at my check out.

United States of AmericaThe AC did not work. It took over 2 hours to have it evaluated. The front desk person made it clear they were booked and it was unlikely they could move us. I had to stay in the lobby to make sure they kept their word to make sure it was checked by the electrician and a new room was found. Our family was visiting for a funeral, it was a very hot weekend. It finally was resolved by the electrician. Would have been helpful if the front desk staff would have communicated with us and been committed to make sure our stay was pleasant. The staff was very off putting and made it clear it was our problem and not theirs. Would not stay again, sorry
The location was convenient and the parking was included and on site. The room we were eventually moved to was excellent. The view was wonderful.

United States of AmericaWe checked in late and were not able to order any food and there wasn't a vending machine either. Having some food option, however small, would be great for those coming in late, tired and hungry.
This was a last minute booking and we were able to get a really nice room with a bay view. The room clean, stylish and comfortable. Nice all the way around.

United States of AmericaBeware - mandatory extra cost per night for services that most other places provide for free - such as wifi, self parking etc. Breakfast if you include into your room rate is only for the "sonesta breakfast" - not for other things on the menu that might even be cheaper. Strange setup.
The rooms were clean and spacious, beds were comfortable, coffee in the room. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Overall although I listed some cons, I would stay here again with eyes wide open.
