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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesThere was a lot of noise from people out in the lobby to outside of the hotel that lasted from 10 pm to 12 am. It was hard to sleep with all the ruckus.
The hotel was in a great location and clean.

United StatesThe parking rate per night seemed a bit extreme for the location without a valet.
Check-in went well; the atrium and breakfast area- wished for longer or earlier hours as I kept missing it .

United StatesThe pool deck is not level and, therefore, has a lot of green algae in many areas. It was also a bit dirty with clumps of hair and lint on the floor. And used towels were piled up on a chair. In contrast to the rest of the clean and beautiful hotel areas, this pool area stands out as needing a little TLC. The hotel parking is spendy, but I guess that's normal for SF? The hotel room, which is large and spacious, had ZERO towel bars to hang towels. There was one small robe hook next to the shower. So our family (of 5 people) had towels and swimsuits draped EVERYWHERE!
Love the room layout and space for our family of 5, the room was clean and comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food and drinks provided for the evening reception and breakfast were great! Love the pool design, with windows providing so much natural light.

United StatesThere is nothing specified that there is a parking fee and the parking fee is STEEP ($34.21 to be exact and wait that's not all they also tax you for parking for an additional $4.79 for a whopping total of $39 PER DAY)! We are not in Downtown SF so I don't understand why it is that expensive! The parking is too close to each other so obviously this is maximizing profit so more cars can park. There is also a CONFERECE CENTER TAX which I was not even part off. The front desk NEVER answers the phone the 3x I have called and when I went down they are not busy at all. I will be looking for other hotels for sure on my next return to SSF.
I like how accessible it is from the airport and major freeway i80. It is also close to downtown SSF and a few minutes drive to SF. Back to the hotel, the suite is nice and spacious and I love the California theme and the updated rooms. I love the complimentary happy hour drinks.

United StatesI was not a fan of the fact that the temperature cannot be adjusted. The rooms were subjected to the hotel temperature as a whole. Guests would have to request a portable heater which looked very old and outdated. It was difficult to relax worrying if the old portable heater would malfunction and cause a fire.
The staff was exceptional.

United StatesWe did run into issues with the AC on our first night. Apparently, during our stay, the hotel had AC issues with the corner units. We called the front desk and they immediately set us up with another room.
We had a great stay. The room was perfect for our family. Breakfast was fabulous! The front desk team was very welcoming, warm, and attentive.

United StatesParking was about $40 for one night. It wasn't covered it was just a parking lot. I get it, San Francisco. . .you pay for parking. But there was no one out here besides the people that stayed at the hotel. Paying for parking was a bit ridiculous.
Wow. Great place to stay. Close enough it's just a short distance drive to the Giants Stadium, but far enough out there isn't all the traffic, noise, and (unfortunately) filth that the inner city brings. We felt safe with our kids and our car here. Beds, towels, linens were all clean and comfortable. The soaps were good quality. The pool is indoor and clean. Everything was clean, actually! The servers at the restraunt were so kind and attentive. Breakfast had a large selection of cold and hot food, and even a make to order food bar! For free!!!

United StatesI had a bit of trouble with the airport shuttle. We waited more than the 30 minutes promised for the shuttle and ended up on a shuttle going to the *other* San Fran Airport Embassy Suites. Yes, user error, but maybe the signage could be better. Also, it should be a free shuttle.
Location was great, about 10 minutes from the airport. We were able to walk into South San Francisco for dinner. But also the property had a restaurant if we preferred to stay in. Easy check in. The room was spacious and the front desk staff was friendly.

United StatesThe parking really sucks. I couldn’t find parking, parking was super super tight, they blocked the parking to where it was hard to exit back out if you went down the isle and couldn’t find a parking, you literally had to back up to come out. One of the worst embassy parking issue I have ever encountered. Not enough parking space.
