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.).

BrazilMy checkout experience could have been better. I had the app downloaded so I just left and tried to check out on it, but it kept giving me an error at the payment screen. I had to actually double back to the hotel to complete the process.
The room is a great size, small but perfectly functional for one person. There's a place to put anything you need. The bed is exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast is also pretty good, though a little expensive. The location is very convenient too. Overall, I loved my stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling alone!

CanadaI wish they offered ice buckets , or let their customers know about the microwave being in the common area. We thought there wasn’t a microwave so we had to throw away a lot of left overs.
Loved everything about this place. The staff and the modernity of the place made us feel right at home!

Check in the rooms was a breeze and the rooms were cozy and comfy. Enjoyed the functional toilets. Location is as good as it gets in SF. There are lots of F&B outlets about the hotel. Appreciate the security guards manning the main doorway.

United KingdomIt was well up to Citizen M standards, designer comfort and very trendy. Good breakfast buffet included. Staff friendly and approachable. Central location next to Union Square and 2 min walk from the cable car and Powell Station (BART to airport). The room was very comfortable and clean. And surprisingly quiet for such a city center location.

United StatesThey really hype their pillows, but my girlfriend and I found them a bit uncomfortable and had to ask for softer, flatter ones. Fortunately, they had what we needed.
I had never stayed at a citizenM hotel before. They have an entire approach that I just loved. The rooms are admittedly small, a little like being on a cruise ship. Yet they are masterfully designed, and have a high-tech overview (everything can be controlled by an iPad in the room) that gives it a wonderful vibe. I could not believe how economical our trip was. Such a great price for an amazing location. And oh! The lounge on the third floor was absolutely charming and very low-key the entire time.

United KingdomFirst off the staff were exceptional - every single one - and couldn't do enough to help, smile.and be friendly jumping from reception, to the bar to being full on baristas. Even the security guys on the lower floor were always attentive and friendly. Funky hotel, minutes away from the BART, cable car terminus and Union Square. And don't miss the "secret" rooftop bar. So impressed we will use the Citizen M brand next time we are in London.

United KingdomGreat staff, downtown LA with a great view. Pizza served at the bar in minutes and cool vibe throughout the lounge. Fitness suite was ideal for me - running machine and Peloton bike with video link and strong wind machine with a view of the street on the top floor. The room was compact but well designed with Ipad climate control provided. Real high tec feel to the place.

CanadaNothing much to complain except for street noises but that's unavoidable and not the hotel's fault.
The location was the best! 2mins away from Powell Station, which is the hub for Muni, BART & cable car. Highly suggest you get the day-passes, which by Powell Station. If you are from Asia, you won't complain that the room is small as we are used to being in small apartments. Love how you are in control of all appliances in the room with just one iPad, even my mom knows how to use it. Chromecast was the best entertainment, you are not stuck with the boring TV channels and not to mention the shower lights, so fun to change it every night!!! Staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful, even just for chatting they're all for it. We bought take-out and ate at the lounge, was GREAT! The decors are fun, bar is available. I would definitely stay here again if I come to San Fran again <3

United StatesSan Francisco has some rougher areas (affordable housing and drug crisis, very sad) so we're aware that it's not a hotel's fault if even the 'touristy' areas have rough edges. Citizen M did a great job of providing security that didn't feel militarized and unpleasant for that aspect. The overall facilities were so impressive. Style and substance. Huge, colorful murals, bookshelves with interesting coffee table books, shelves with funky sculptures; it's a feast for the senses. But the staff was helpful and kind, rooms were super efficient (we knew they were small but they were very well appointed!) and the LIGHTING SCHEME WAS EVERYTHING! My husband and I said we probably got the best night's sleep of our lives! Clean as anything, had all amenities you could want, can stream your own shows, comfortable beds. We will DEFINITELY only be using Citizen M whenever we're back in the Bay!
