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.).

AustraliaThe property is really noisy as people comes and goes in all different times, 1am, 2am, 3am and as there is no isolation, it is really noisy, so you pretty much can't sleep without earplugs but if you are not bothered by it then you will be fine. Quite a lot of homeless people around so if you don't mind all of that, the property is great.
Property was quite great and spacious. The reception was extremely helpful and nice.

United StatesThis wasn't an issue for my stay generally speaking, but the first night I arrived, the guy(s?) across the hall from me were very, very loud and quite belligerent late into the night. Luckily, the location leaves multiple sets of earplugs in your room! Anyway, they were gone the next day, so it ceased to be an issue.
So much about this stay was great! I arrived outside of office hours, but the manager made it a point to be there for my arrival all the same. The room was lovely, spacious, and very clean. The bed was also incredibly comfortable. Supplying additional amenities (towels, soaps, toothbrush and paste, coffee, tea) was very considerate. Plus it's right by Balboa park, like not even a 10 minute walk, which is lovely!

United StatesThere were only 2 floors, but there was no elevator. The staff were more than willing to help me. It is close to the airport, and planes fly over. They provided ear plugs. I did not need them. I slept quite well.
This was a beautiful studio. It was clean and configurable. It was nicely decorated. It was close to downtown. I would definitely return.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike about this property, but just to make people aware of its proximity to all the attractions. This is a major and indeed beautiful US city so don’t expect everything on your doorstep.
The property was about 20 minutes walk from the many bars and restaurants in the renowned Gaslamp Quarter. The studio was very clean and fairly spacious and the amenities were of a good standard. Across the road is the beautiful Balboa Park, ideal for anyone with young children. There is some free parking space outside the property as well as across the street and should you need to, you can secure your vehicle in the basement of the complex for a reasonable daily rate. Parking needs to be considered before choosing a hotel closer to the many attractions and this was the main reason for choosing this hotel. You simply won’t get anything free within the Gaslamp area.

United States-- Great location: it's right across from the Balboa Park. -- Easy to find free street parking right outside the property. -- Smooth communication with the owner/staff: clear instruction for check-in/out was sent in advance, and they responded to message very quickly. -- Great staff and prompt service: we sent a message regarding 2 minor problems after checking in. Since we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, we really didn't expect quick response. But within 5 minutes, a gentleman showed up and quickly fixed the problems. Very courteous and professional staff.

United StatesMajor problems are the location and the service. Location: There is no easy public transportation to the airport, downtown, or the convention center if you are here for work. Nominally there is one bus going downtown but the most convenient stop in downtown is removed so that doesn't help. Also it is a hard to find location without any signs (sorry to say but looks like going out of business soon?) in a sketchy neighborhood. Service: you cannot store luggage and pick it up after 4pm (or indeed if you meet any other problem or need anything after 4pm), which is a major inconvenience. It seemed like an easy problem to solve (e.g. giving guests temporary access to a storage space etc.) but the staff did not seem to care. The only room condiments in the bathroom is one tiny bar soap and uses up quickly. You are left with nothing on day 2 if you don't bring your own.
Room is spacious
