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 StatesI wish parking would have been easier but overall could find a spot within a block.
I am always telling my friends and family that all I want is a plane to sit on my head. That's exactly what I got here. Planes landing directly overhead, seeing the planes pass by out the window. A short walk around the block reveals the airport runway. If you go a little further you can see downtown and a long full approach of the planet coming in. The stairs were a challenge with my 50lbs suitcase but that's also on me 🤣

United StatesSome of the furniture did have a little wear and tear not too bad but we were a little scared of damaging items that needed some repair.
It’s located right next to little Italy everything was really close by. Less than a 20 minute drive everywhere you go!

United StatesThe *only* thing is that the building is *directly* under the flight path into the San Diego airport. It is no exaggeration to say that the planes were maybe 100 feet above the roof, every few minutes at the busiest time and the occasional planes flying over well after midnight. Packets of earplugs are right next to the bed, but if you are at all a light sleeper, this might not be the place for you. In this sense, I think it's a little overpriced, but I know SD is an expensive city.
Basic studio with all that you'd really need -- toiletries, iron and ironing board, fridge and microwave, dishware. I liked that the hosts left soft drinks and chocolate in the fridge to welcome me. Thoughtful setup, television had all of the major streaming apps ready to go. Good communication re accessing the unit via email. I really liked the residential neighborhood, but with good access on foot or by bus into the heart of downtown. Nice views of Mission Bay, and you can feel the sea breeze. That part was all good.

United StatesUnreliable internet. I told the host and they shrugged it off, and provided poor customer service. Then they ask me to give them a good rating. 😅 if I had known about the shortages before hand, I would have been able to accomodate it. It is 2025, internet is a basic necessity! The housekeeping also was unreliable. And the red pillows had a weird smell.

I like the property's location, but it might not be ideal if you're afraid of planes – they do fly pretty low overhead!

GermanyMy only minor complaint is that parking in the area can be a bit challenging at times, but the convenience and quality of the studio more than made up for it.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the "Special Studio in Center of San Diego" and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the seamless check-in process and the warm welcome from the host. The studio itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of San Diego, with easy access to all the major attractions, restaurants, and shops. Despite being in the city center, the studio was incredibly quiet and peaceful, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of my stay was the kitchen, which had everything I needed to prepare meals. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the high-quality linens and towels provided. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, making it easy to stay connected. The host was exceptionally attentive and responsive, ensuring that my stay was enjoyable and hassle-free. They provided great recommendations for local dining and activities, which made my trip even more memorable. Overall, my stay at the "Special Studio in Center of San Diego" was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch accommodation in San Diego. I can't wait to return!
