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.).

The room was small but very clean and new. It overlooked a main road but the windows were sound proof. The blackout blinds were good and I appreciated the coffee provided

ChileThis is maybe the most nitpicky comment I’ve ever made, but the hotel used some weirdly big pillows which were slightly uncomfortable.
The hotel is modern, clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was fully equipped with everything that I needed, and amenities were perfect. I was very pleasantly surprised!

This is a simple but great and comfortable hotel. The best by far in terms of value for price in Berkeley that I have seen so far. They will even loan you bicycles. I plan to always stay here in the future when I am in town.

TaiwanThe location is a bit distant from downtown. Might feel unsafe walking on the street, but it's acceptable for Berkeley standard:)
Similar to apartments in Berkeley. Clean and comfy. It is a really good option if you need a short stay around Berkeley.

United StatesThe parking situation isn’t ideal as the meters have a 4 hour max.
Beautiful hotel with a contemporary decor and all of the personal touches that you love. Bed is super comfortable, large, fully equipped bathroom and the mini fridge is a great addition to keep my wine chilled. There’s also a terrific Korean restaurant about a 5 minute walk away with killer bibimbop.

United StatesI didn't investigate parking ahead of time and we lucked into a meter just out front that was free (6p Sat until Mon 9a). The property offers valet for $29 but the lack of parking may affect our decision to return unless we plan carefully. Street noise on University was a bit louder than expected.
A wonderful selection of free and low-priced drinks, an evening social hour, and a convenient central location. The bathrooms (shower, sink, lights, layout, and amenities were great. A convenient fridge and blackout curtains, windows open a bit for fresh air. There's a 7-11 across the street. it's small hotel so nothing is far.
