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...).

Czech RepublicFront desk staff was really rude/ignoring, pretty much the entire stay except for the very last day, when we probably met the manager? (based on his outstanding friendliness compared to everyone else at front desk - he was like 110% and everyone else was barely 20%; he jumped out to help with the luggages, wished us a pleasant trip). I wish everyone was like him - rating would be 10/10. Other people at front desk sometimes didn't even care to say hello... Unfortunately electronic communication both before and during our stay with front desk was an issue, we got an unlimited number of automated messages to check in online but nobody responded to our questions in return...
Location was good, room was reasonable and clean. Valet parking staff was particularly helpful and friendly.

United States of AmericaThe pullout door for the bathroom was pretty old. It was heavy and inconvenient to have to pull it out and back in, each time we wanted privacy for the bathroom. Very noisy too. They should update those bathroom doors. They stated parking for a fee but the parking lot was full when we checked in. Very inconvenient to have to search for parking elsewhere. Also, a lot homeless as soon as you step out of hotel. Made it a bit weary to walk in the area. Also, the lady at front desk charged my credit card twice and I didn't notice until 3 days after I checked out. I now must wait up to 30 days for refund.
It was a nice and clean room. Coffee maker in the room and also an espresso machine in the lobby. Very comfortable bed.

United States of AmericaJust returned from San Diego where I stayed at the Bristol Hotel before leaving on a cruise. It's close to the airport and the cruise port so I recommend it for those 2 reasons. It's also close to many restaurants and a CVS to pick up things you need like drinking water. My room was very clean and had everything I needed. I had an issue with noisy neighbors and called the front desk and they acted promptly. Nine young people piled out of the room! No surprise about the noise! The woman at the front desk (Sandra) was the real highlight. My friend became ill & we needed the room cleaned when it was convenient for her. Sandra made sure all went well with that. She was compassionate and kind and very helpful in many ways. I would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomThe only bad thing was that the toilet paper was a tad on the thin side. The parking was pricey but to be fair all the hotels around the area seemed to charge the same...captive market I guess.
Hotel was in a great location with the bars and restaurants of Gaslamp district and trolley stop only a couple of mins walk away. The room was well equipped with a coffee machine, fridge, safe and large TV, even the windows opened which is a rarity in hotels these days. The beds were so comfy, you literally just melted into it which was bliss after a days sightseeing.

United States of AmericaNo vending machines no food on property besides a few bags of chips and some popcorn. Housekeeping only came if you requested it. Went to “happy hour” and they had no cocktail list no wine list. They barely had any alcohol. The bartender Bob was awesome but he is working with very, very little.
Amazing location.

Room was great value for the price, the "city view" was not great but for an overnight stay it was perfect. Property was very nice with full amenities and valet parking option was very useful. Location was spectacular, in the heart of downtown and right in front of public transit.

United States of AmericaNot much of a view in our room and the small raised area where the bathroom floor meets the bedroom floor is a tripping hazard. We put a white towel over it to remind us to step up when we got up in the night. They might want to paint it or fill in the gap between floor levels.
We liked the retro decoration of the room. It was very colorful and cheerful as well as practical. Even through the hotel did not provide meals, there were casual places nearby to have a simple meal. It was also a short taxi ride to our cruise terminal so convenient.

United States of AmericaThe only downside is that it's a thin blanket so it's a little colder than we'd prefer. And we would like to add a table for a coffee machine in the room. We used it on the floor since we didn't have a place near electricity.
My husband and I spent one night at your hotel and really enjoyed it. The room was spacious and very cozy. We used valet parking and everything else was great.

United States of AmericaThere were no glasses in the room. This was really irritating. There were just 2 little paper cups for the mini coffee maker. No cups or glasses for the bathroom or to use with the ice bucket or to have something other than reusing a small paper coffee cup. Weird. Would also have liked pen and notepad in the room.
Lovely hotel. Bed was not too soft to sleep on. Accent pillow that was firmer than the other pillows was a God send. Staff was exceptional! Great location. Nice decor. Reasonable rates.
