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 receptionist was mean and not too friendly. She didn’t let us use the lobby restroom and didn’t get us at all . She was wearing her AirPods which made it look very unprofessional. I couldn’t see her name tag so I don’t have her name but she is a young lady.

United StatesI did not like the rudeness of the male front desk receptionist. I was treated very rudely by this older staff member for no reason at all. He then proceeded to argue with me as I was making arrangements upon exiting.
I enjoyed the cleanliness, breakfast, and the friendliness of staff.

United StatesBreakfast ran out of food. In particular, there was never any butter or butter-like substance present. Twice they ran out of hard boiled eggs. Three days before I left the elevator broke. And stayed broken (probably needed a part ordered). This caused a lot of inconvenience. You are lucky the only other elevator, so small about 3 people fit in it) didn’t break! Whatever the breakfast room attendant uses to clean it is strong and offensive. She starts to spray around 8:45, seemingly to shoo us all out. I had to leave this morning because the cleaning solution was almost nausea inducing. This hotel needs to be more clear about what is recyclable and provide a recycling bin near the breakfast room. Little black plastic stirrers should be banished.
Location was great, room very nice. Ability to adjust temperature great. Safe parking great. Coffee was good.

United StatesI stay here every time I come to Berkeley or Oakland. The staff is always friendly and helpful, rooms are quiet and comfortable and the hotel is always very clean. It is only a couple of blocks from 4th street with lots of coffee shops, restaurants and fun places to shop. Close to many other restaurants on University as well. I am very comfortable here. Breakfast does the job.
