Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesSomeone fell out of the window from the seventh floor and I’m not really sure why but it seemed like after paramedics came that they were safely taken to the hospital and were okay. This didn’t really affect our opinion of the hotel because the hotel and staff themselves were really great, but it made it uh…interesting experience.
The inside was nice and the bed was also very nice! Everything was clean and the free cookies tasted good. Lots of closet space.

IrelandThe staff member who helped with our bags was quiet rude and not engaged which meant on our final day when we left bags at the hotel after check out we felt a bit uncomfortable about leaving them there.
The location was great, the town room was perfect for two.

BrazilRoom little bit smaller than expected. Parking expensive and not at the property (1 block away). Other than that, everything was absolutely fine.
A classic in the heart of the city. Great staff, no exceptions: from A to Z, everyone were so kind and nice! location, right on Union Square. Super comfortable bed. Not a breakfast, but delicious cookies and tea by the morning at the bar area.

AustraliaBed was so soft that it was difficult to change positions. There was a lot of condensation on the window sill. It improved when l opened the window over night.
Excellent location - right in the middle of Union Square. Some lovely touches such as tea and coffee and muffins available 24 hrs a day. Very good value for money in this location.

United StatesEverything was really perfect. I'm not trying to fluff this review. All I know, is i entered the hotel 3 staff members were eager to help immediately. During my stay I needed the help of the front desk. They handled everything quickly AND with courtesy. So what can I say. It is what it is. This hotel deserves this review. Bottom line is, they earned it. Ohh.... ohh... I haven't even mentioned the room. Clean as a whistle. Spotless. Plenty of towels, which i love, and it was cleaned every day. Fresh towels. Fresh sheets. Bed made. Very few hotels do this nowadays. But the Chancellor Hotel does. I can go on but we'll leave it here. If you want an affordable yet beautiful hotel right at Union Square in the heart of San Francisco, book with confidence.
I couldn't believe how convenient the location was. Must importantly the price i paid was the best bargain I've had. First class hotel. I'll be back no doubt

United KingdomSadly two things can be true at the same time… whilst the location was great, the nearby protesters made it very hard to relax in peace. Difficult to fall asleep and / or annoying to be woken up by the thumping sounds of drums! I hope they’re gone soon because the hotel is brilliant.
Excellent location, staff, amenities, cookies and coffee.

IsraelNoise isolation in the room is not that good. Unfortunately there were some protests outside all day and all night which we could hear all the way to the room. However, the staff were nice and moved us to another room in another section of the hotel on the 2nd night.
Very close to the metro, transportation, restaurants and bars. Free cookies, tea and water at lobby, nice rooms. Friendly staff, was very helpful and assisted us in moving to another room due to an issue. Hotel staff made a nice gesture for our honeymoon which we liked a lot (thank you).

United StatesThe bar area is a little underwhelming but if expectations are managed it's fine. There is no coffee maker in the room, but there is one in the lobby. Again, once we understood that it was fine.
The location close to Union Square and several shops and restaurants is excellent. It is away from the more "challenging" areas of the city (South of Market) that we drove through on our way to the hotel. The room was small, but adequate, comfortable and very clean. Nice shower (water pressure.) The parking was very close by. The staff, from reception to the bartender to housekeeping, were very friendly (except one soft spoken receptionist upon check out). The value for the money is fantastic. We appreciated the 2 for 1 drink offer.
