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 StatesThe room was very small for two people. The bed was pushed up against the window with no outlets on the window side of the bed. I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed in the night. There was one small chair for sitting and little or no room to move about. For one person it would be fine, but would not recommend this room for two people.
This hotel has a nice vibe, comfortable shared spaces. We did not eat there, but looked like there was a nice option for breakfast. Great location with easy access to Bart and light rail. Looks like it caters to 30-40 yr old crowd.

United StatesI liked it all! No complaints.
The CitizenM is the best value hotel chain I've ever stayed in. The staff is always friendly, rooms are clean and modern, and the entire hotel is artsy, quaint, clean and fun. The room layout and amenities have updated technology and, simply, make sense. I'll stay at CitizenM whenever I travel to a city that has one.

FinlandI travelled for a conference. To the Moscone Center it is less than 10 min walk. But San Francisco was not the same like it used to be few years ago. Lot's of vacant commercial spaces and so little charm like "in the old days". The stay was fantastic. For a single person travelling the room was big enough. I could have slept anyway in the big the and really comfy bed. I stayed in the 10/12th floor and it was super quiet and the night curtains made it super dim. Breakfast time is already at 6 am which for an European is nice. Quite basic American breakfast buffet but more than I needed indeed. What I liked was everything from check-in to check-out made so easy, no mess, no waiting and a nice person available to hellp me me with both. Quite young but prefessional staff. I was not scared of the surroundings although it is so sad to see the homeless and mentally sick people but they are around all around the city. SF is no any more a shopping city like it used to be. All the good stores have moved miles away. But the hotel worked for me really fine. The space would have been very limited for two people, I guess. Somebody wrote a negative comment about the elevators, but I had no issue with those.
