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 Statesthere really is no breakfast. We bought food at the 711 across the street. In the eating area, I think there were 2 chairs, a bagel in the open. Maybe cereal in a container. I am not sure there was a drink or fruit. But nothing I wanted to eat. 711 offerings were much better. Parking is tight cause the lot is small, but it really was no problem.
Staff was friendly, helpful. Room was really big. Plenty of space. Enjoyed our time there.

ItalyThe location isn’t the best, it’s on the road, which is very trafficked. The surrounding is home to homeless and junkies. The hotel walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors. The fridge in the room is loud.
The room has been cleaned every single day and fresh towels have been provided. Even if you don’t book breakfast, there’s always a hot cup of coffee available and some sweets. The bus stop to Berkeley downtown is right in front of the building, and the BART station only a few minutes away.

United StatesRoom was very small and there was no public place to sit with co-worker. Room was not nearly as nice as photo, and co-worker's room was worse. Breakfast room was terribly cramped. I suggest one sleeping room be converted to a "lobby" to make the hotel more conducive to business travelers working with UC Berkeley. The University recommended the hotel. I also suggest that people staying for a week be assigned to the nicer rooms.
Staff was helpful; room was very clean; parking was critical for us and not available at other hotels in the area.

United StatesOffice was often unmanned, so staff not available at times. Air conditioner was close to the bed. For me, a little uncomfortable with air blowing right on me. But, that’s how the room is set up, so don’t see how they could change it.
Nice location. Clean room. Easy access to the University, shops and restaurants. Close to an area of the city that I had family members.
