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 StatesHad to wait until 7:30am for breakfast room to open, an earlier opening would be appreciated.
The breakfast and location were adequate.The TV in the room should have the volume off and in close caption mode.

AustraliaAll was good
Breakfast was great, nothing out of this world but the same as I would of had if I was home It was close to all transport and an easy walk to the main area, the walk back a little uphill but that is San Francisco. Really great having a laundromat only a few metres from the Hotel.

HungaryLovely hotel with a historical interior, and unique rooms with wall paintings from various artists, in addition to the excellent equipment. A very cozy, homy place to stay with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. A nice continental breakfast was also offered. It feels as if a family was running the hotel and you were renting one of their rooms in an old, amicable house. On Bush street, it is just a few corners form Union Square, a Cable Car stop, and basically any form of transportation to go around in the city. It also boasts free parking if your car fits, but we haven't tried that. A little café and laundry room is also just around the corner. Definitely recommended!

ItalyIt is expensive, but which good hotel is not, in SF? Breakfast is not good, but for me this is a minor detail.
I come regularly to this hotel when I visit SF. It has all I ask from a hotel: clean, quiet and pleasant room, comfortable bed, friendly staff. It is located in the city center, and the surroundings are safe and nice. WiFi works well.

United StatesThe location is a bit tricky. Also, sometimes it smelled of something weird. The heating system could be improved but overall it's very good.
This is a good budget place to live. Facilities are very good. They even provided space to stay after checking out. Extremely well behaved people and staff. Breakfast was also on time.

CanadaWould have liked a tea kettle in the room. The old-fashioned elevator can be a little tricky when your hands are full but I figured it out.
Room was clean and comfortable, had a microwave and mini-fridge which I always appreciate, but no hot water kettle. It also had crockery but no cleaning supplies (sponge, dishwashing soap). Rooms were also cleaned daily. Location was convenient to my conference at the Hilton nearby, just be aware of where you are walking as it's right next to the Tenderloin. The continental breakfast was also decent, I actually found it had more protein available than the Hilton! There is also a handy mini-market next door that had quality goods. I also had some issues with my foreign credit card, the concierge was more than accommodating while I sorted it out.

The rooms were large, very clean and very comfortable. Lots of nice homey touches (soft patterned sheets and beautiful quilts). Nice people at the desk. Complimentary breakfast (very basic, but good).

India1. A coffee-maker in the room would have been convenient. 2. Breakfast menu was same each day, and focused on functionality more than variety or palatability.
This is a nice hotel that is pleasant for a short stay. We especially enjoyed the following: 1. Quiet room that did not overlook the Main Street (Bush Street). 2. Fairly spacious room. 3. Two separate walk-in closets within the room. These were very useful for storing luggage etc. 4. Microwave with some basic crockery and cutlery. 5. Stable wifi connection. 6. Functional breakfast included in the price. 7. Sense of history within the hotel. 8. Friendly staff at checkin and reception. 9. Smooth checkin process. 10. Nice chest of drawers within the room.
