Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

RomaniaI loooved my stay at Stanford Court! Staff was extremely friendly and they even upgraded me to a suite on the last floor. Everything was perfect, I've never stayed in a room this beautiful, spacious, quiet, and clean before. Nothing was missing from the room, they had an iron and a hair dryer. Overall, an amazing stay at the Stanford Court.

PanamaI have no comments for this section
The location was lovely and close to the Ferry Building, China Town, North Beach, and the cable car. We loved the challenge of Nob Hill and fully knew we would be conquering the Hill daily. The staff at Stanford was exceptional. Every single person with whom we came in contact with was friendly and helpful. The room was perfect. Comfortable and clean and we also had a great view.

United States of AmericaIt is located in a very hilly part of San Francisco (which is a lot of the city) and to get anywhere you had to walk up or down a very steep hill.
This is a beautiful building in a great location. The interiors feel modernized in a very nice way - the decor was interesting and playful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and I heard no street noise at all. We were a stone’s throw from the cable car stop. The staff was very helpful and accommodating - we wanted 3 rooms near each other and they were able to move us around. I was there for a conference and I was able to walk to Moscone center (though I had to take a Lyft to get back because of the hills). Check in was very easy and they use text and an app, but also have actual key cards.

United States of AmericaBed wasn’t the most comfortable and squeaked with any movement. Biggest gripe would be the elevators. They were slow and terrifying once inside. Loud and would shake and bounce.
Staff was incredible!! Very kind and accommodating. Housekeeping always greeted us in the halls. Property had a lot to offer for amenities and the location was very safe. Located right between the 3 cable cars which was fun! Would highly recommend an interior room as the traffic of the city and cable cars can be loud all night. The hills were no joke like other reviews have stated so don’t underestimate them but don’t let them deter you from staying here! Rooms were very spacious!

United States of AmericaElevators are slow which isn't a real problem, only a minor inconvenience at the busiest times.
The location is great - close enough to walk to North End, Chinatown, Market Street but also accessible to many bus lines and the cable cars. We actually walked from the hotel all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge and across! Our room was clean and spacious with a huge bathroom and a small fridge for drinks. We appreciated the windows opening to get a bit of fresh air. The city view was beautiful, the fitness center was well-appointed, and the staff were friendly and helpful at checkin and held our bags at checkout so we could do a last bit of sightseeing.

FranceThe fact the water bottles are available only upon request and at the reception and the fact that if we want to recycle the water bottles and fill them with the water fountain that is also only available in the reception, not only it’s not convenient but also it’s almost not possible to do so, as the plastic bottles are not sturdy enough to take several daily use. After one use they were almost smashed . Maybe put one water fountain on each floor next to the lift ? And provide refillable glass bottles ( like at the Claremont Hotel and Spa by Fairmont in Berkeley, CA) .
The architecture of the building, the location, the views offered by some of the rooms. The helpful and kind staff and the clientele. The nice service at the restaurant which is also offering simple but good food.
