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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesAmazing price for staying in Berkeley. If you wake up early you will be able to park your car for free on site - there are only a few parking spots. Five minutes from Berkeley campus - Go Bears !! The owner is super nice. The room was large and basic but perfect for sleeping. I will be back if I need lodging.

United StatesThe room's decor is dated and worn. There is no microwave, refrigerator or ice machine which would be helpful. One of the windows in the room could not be opened.
The room was very clean but needs updating. The location is near many restaurants and a movie theater. The rate is a good value. There is also limited free parking and an elevator. It's a few blocks away from the Saturday farmer's market.

GermanyThe sink outside the bathroom seems not very practical to me, but in the end it was not such a big issue.
The location of the hotel was very convenient to access the campus, and very close to the BART station. The lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful. I also found the available LAN cable in the room very useful.

United StatesSome issues with the furniture and things like the curtains having some damage. The other issue we had was it felt there were not many outlets for us to use.
The bed was nice and comfy. I also liked how large the bathroom was. The location was nice and it felt tucked away from everything.

United StatesWindows couldn't open. Air con did not really work but luckily the weather was great. Check in was a hassle since nobody was at the "lobby". We rang the bell several times and waited for a little bit before being checked in.
Great location for visiting kids attending Berkeley (we were there for their concerts). Very close to campus and to BART. Very convenient. It's like a motel. Very basic nothing fancy but good value.

United StatesI initially couldn't find the motel. I was up at the next block looking at 2005 (your address is 2001) and started walking West where the numbers should have went down to 2001, but they went up instead!
Everything was well laid out and professional.

United StatesIt took a while for the heater to start running after it beeped to turn on and it wasn't clear if it was working or not. Then it sounded like a helicopter for a while, before it warmed up and the sound became more normal. It was just very old. Everything in the room was old. It seemed like it had the original furniture, mattress, carpet, and colors on the wall from when it was first built, presumably in the 1970's.
The front desk person was very nice.
