Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesI just wish there was like a back door on the opposite side of the building for luggage purposes. But obviously that can’t be fixed the hotel was wonderful.
The hotel was so cute and welcoming. The attendant at the front desk was very informative and welcoming. I loved the extra touch of complimentary sherry in the lobby. I loved the location of the hotel.

United StatesI wish I would have requested a room looking over Columbus St., but maybe our backside room was quieter.
Love the Beat decor. Beautiful B&W photos of icons from that Era. Love the colors, the old-school tile bathroom and the afternoon sherry offering is perfect to revive after a day of travel. Location was perfect for us as we wanted to be able to walk around the restaurants and haunts of North Beach. The Parking garage a 1/2 block away on Vallejo felt safe as it is right across from the cop shop. This is my go-to for any upcoming stays in SF.

United KingdomIt's located on a busy street and as the rooms don't have AC, we had to have windows opened - so if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs (especially if you end up with a room facing the road). The shower was a bit too small.
Great location near Chinatown, with plenty of great places to eat. The staff was very helpful, keen to offer advice on places to visit etc. The bed was very comfy.

The room was small but comfortable and nicely decorated, fantastic location for the wharf and places to eat and drink. Loved getting sherry as an afternoon aperitif!

AustraliaIt wasn't a problem for us but one should be aware that there is no elevator so getting up the stairs with heavy luggage could be a challenge.
If you want to explore Little Italy then the location is ideal. It's "beat" theme also blends in well with the neighbourhood. We really appreciated that someone was available at 2:30am to let us in when we arrived. We were concerned that street noise might be a problem so we asked for a quiet room... and indeed it was perfectly quiet.

AustraliaI absolutely loved Hotel Boheme! It's such a great location near great breakfast, lunch, and dinner locations. We bused almost everywhere! The room, I thought, was a decent size. I have seen some negative comments about the size of the rooms, but I thought ours was modest, with a large armoire and a table and chairs and decent ensuite. Good water pressure! I loved the history of this hotel. I loved its style. It sent me dreaming of the 50s. My absolute FAVOURITE most niche and cute little freebie was the complementary glass of sherry. It is such a fitting extra that really makes you feel part of the story of San Francisco and Hotel Boheme. I'll be back!!!
