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 StatesThe building is a 1 star motel. I didn't realize that it would be such a dive on the outside. The area did not feel super-safe but it turned out to be ok for Berkeley which is pretty awful town.
The staff was accommodating with a last-minute change and somewhat helpful with suitcase storage and early access to the room. The room was a good size with new fridge and microwave. 2 Double beds.

United StatesThe curtains were not thick enough to block out the light in the complex, and kind of falling off the curtain rods. The bathroom was not as clean as I would like liked.
Easy to get to and the cheapest option close to work. I checked in relatively late, and the staff was understanding.

United StatesFound hairs in my bed and in the towels. The room was not very clean overall. There was not enough parking so I had to park on the street. When I was checking out, a couple was screaming at each other in a domestic altercation. The female was claiming she did not want to leave with the man because he would hurt her again. There was also a ton of noise due to ongoing construction on the building. Construction workers working on a project began banging early in the morning.
I liked the fact that it had a mini fridge and a microwave.

NetherlandsThe main issue was that the walls were very thin and the rooms seemed connected via vents. I had noisy neighbors whose loud conversation and sex I could hear in detail. Some neighbors also habitually smoked weed, which I could smell in my room. The other problem was that the wifi was somewhat intermittent - although I only noticed this when I tried to facetime on the wifi.
The family in charge of the property was nice and helpful. Extending my stay was no problem (although this might change dependent on the time of your visit) and they were courteous throughout my stay. Cleaning staff visited the room every day. The room itself was very clean - I had no complaints on this point. I thought the price was fair and did not feel like I had traded away an acceptable stay in return for saving money.

Convenient location to other goals for this trip. Bathroom, while tiny, was spotless with apparently new fixtures. Great TV with Dish subscription.

United StatesCurtains were ripped and falling apart with a spider living in the grommet.. There was no clock. No telephone. Very run down old IKEA bedside table that looked like it came from the trash. Dirty folding table counter and two very old stained chairs. Nothing on the walls. Bathroom and floors had been renovated.
The manager on staff was kind and compassionate. Sheets seemed clean.

United StatesThe room was not very clean. The beds were super uncomfortable. There was hardly any parking. When we got back to the hotel the only spot available was between a terribly parked car that looked like it hadn’t been moved in a long time, and a pole. There was no way my car was going fit and there was no where safe nearby the park. Luckily someone was leaving just as we were trying to figure out what to do at 11:30 at night, so we got their spot. The guy who worked there didn’t have any helpful options for me. Around midnight as we were trying to go to sleep there was a couple fighting extremely loudly either under us or next to us. I was woken up by them fighting again at 2 am. All night the room smelled horribly like cigarette smoke and weed. In order to sleep, I just had to have the window, which has no screen, open all night.
The location was only about 10 mins from UC Berkeley which was nice. Everything we needed to was very close by.

United StatesDefinitely not a frilly facility. If you are expecting a wealth of parking room, you'll be surprised. We walked and took transit everywhere, so if that's your game, you'll be just fine.
Great for a thrifty stay in the east bay area. Looks like it has been refurbished within the last five years. Close to a rental car center if you need one, and an easy walk to the nearby BART station.
