How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

These were minor issues for me but the rooms are poorly insulated for noise: bring ear plugs. The TV had bad reception and only a few channels available.
Friendly staff and my room was clean and included everything I needed. I enjoyed my stay overall.

You do hear noise from Grant Street...but I asked for a room overlooking Grant so this was not a bid deal for me.
The room was exactly what I requested at the end of the hall with two windows.

As expected fron photos, the room was okay but did not feel that safe: windows and doors are rather thin with gaps. Could not controll heater, at some point it started working and it was warm. Without heater and thin single-glass windows it is cold.
Not much to praise or complain. Staff was kind, and room was cleaned every two days. Shower is warm and clean. Location next to China town gate was quite good!

There is no Air conditioning. It was so hot and stuffy in the rooms even when it was breezy outside. We asked for an extra fan and how to open the windows. They did provide an extra fan and explained how to open the windows. The bed was pretty tough and the elevator felt a little iffy. It was very small. It could comfortably fit 3 people. It was fine for the short time we stayed in an expensive city. AfterWe arrived we almost looked for another place to stay because of the lack of Air Conditioning. That really was the most uncomfortable part.
The location was great. It was on a corner that was near Chinatown as well as a lot of bars and restaurants. We were able to walk most places and then Uber to Oracle Park.

Wry helpful and staff. Excellent location within walking distance if Union Square. One block walk from California Cable Car line. Short two block walk from #30 Stockton bus. Nothing fancy. Perfect if you want a room only for sleeping while visiting San Francisco.

Problem with the twin bed I had but I was moved to a separate room with a double bed. Very accommodating staff, they allocated the spare room without any issues.. The rooms are just that - somewhere to sleep.. Don’t expect to be able to lounge about in your room.. Space is a premium.. And if you’re on holiday/vacation, the only reason to be in the room is to sleep or shower and both these requirements are catered for satisfactorily.
Location is great. 👍Have stayed at Grant Plaza on multiple occasions and will stay there again. ✌️ Staff very helpful and understanding. I had a major problem with my bed. I was moved to another room, no extra charge, no questions asked..
