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 StatesI would like a microwave in my room. Is that possible? That would be so nice. Also just a littler better direction of cars and pedestrians in the front parking area. Almost hit a couple people as they were tryign to leave and get out of my way, the parking guys seemed kind of clueless, just like there wasn't a system. Make a system, so that its easy to train us, the clients. Instead, I had a bellhopper in a mask, waving his arm rapidly for me to go foreword, and he was tryign to let me go and give me best treatment. However, there were clients exactly ahead so I didn't move. It was frustrating to try and communicate this as the client to the employee, but he didn't have the tools he needed. He needs a system.
I loved my room, so golden and lovely. The view is spectacular, from every room and every corner of the hotel, front outdoor entrance. Bridge on one side, water on the other. You cannot beat that.

United StatesHotel has amazing bones. Rooms on outside are lovely. The rugs are a bit threadbare and in need of replacement. Elevators need some love (rugs and other aspects). Also towels should be upgraded to a better bath towels. Lobby in disrepair. Not what I expect from an Intercontinental but an easy fix. The hotel is so exceptional and its location stunning (the best in San Francisco) that I suggest doing a historical remodeling of the lobby to match the photos in the "museum" in the lobby. The hotel has such an extraordinary history. Do not think it would be inordinately expensive to do so and the property deserves it. All in all we had a wonderful stay. It was a great value and is a magical spot.

United States1. The makeup mirror light did not work and it was very difficult getting ready for a formal event. 2. The hotel has such rich history and I would have expected our suite to be more tastefully decorated and furnished with much higher quality pieces. The ambiance of the suite was a disappointment because of the inconsistent décor. 3. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Both my husband and I had to send our food back because it was hardly warm. We each had a cup of coffee. He had a mixed berry bowl, a side of sausage and wheat toast; I had oatmeal. Our meager meal was over $60 (including tip). Not great food or service for those prices!
We were notified the day before that a significant upgrade was available. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room location, view and layout was amazing. The Bose sound system was a very nice amenity.
