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.).

Perfectly located to explore city’s highlights. We could reach pretty much everything we wanted by just walking. You can watch cable cars from apartment windows, but it was surprisingly quiet at night. Apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff were always very nice and kind to us. The area around felt safe and clean.

The only thing which is small that we had to go thru the bedroom to use the bathroom
Really close to main places in the city . We used the apartment as two rooms and used the huge sofa bed and kept lit out as a bed for the two nights . Plenty of seating and a table with chairs if needed

Amazing location, lots to do within walking distance including the fabulous Tonga Lounge Tiki Bar. The hill is very steep though, so not really a suitable location for anyone with mobility difficulties.

The steep incline from Union Square was daunting so we found an alternative. When we had bags to carry we took the train from Union Square/Market Street MUNI Metro Station (T) and got off at Chinatown - Rose Pak Station, just a stop away. Then from there we took bus route 1 and got off next stop uphill. Powell place was just a few secs away downhill from there :). If walking a steep incline multiple times a day is not an issue then there are no downsides to this place.
We stayed for 5days. The location is awesome. The rooms are well equipped and spacious.

Great apartment in a central location. The living room and kitchen were a very good size and faced the street, which is fun for people watching and seeing the street car. The bedroom is at the back of the apartment so it is very quiet and you don't hear the street traffic at all. It's a very comfortable apartment, within walking distance to coffee shops and shopping (Saks, Macy's, many designer stores). I stayed only for one night but could easily stay there longer because of the well equipped kitchen. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. I also used the valet parking which was great and saved any headache of having to find parking.

The lady in the night shift could be more problem solving focused, and more friendly. I asked to borrow a kettle to make a cup of tea, but had been told "don't understand it" or "use cooking pot to make tea". The induction hobs in the kitchen was not working so made difficulty to cook breakfast.
The gentleman works at the reception in the morning shift was very helpful. The location is fantastic, better than some of 5* hotels!

The rooms were very comfortable. We were centrally located and the staff/manager of Powell Place was very helpful. In addition, we had an unfortunate experience after the stay where we had a THUG break into our vehicle and rob us. Because the luggage was found, they called Powell Place and the receptionist called us to tell us the luggage was found (even after we had left the property!!) We got our luggage back but not the contents. But if Powell Place had not called us, we would not have retrieved our van keys to get back home when we arrived back in San Antonio. Definitely a place of integrity! Thanks!

Th window glasses are not soundproof. The property is road facing and the traffic movement is 24 hours therefore lots of disturbance in sleep. The property is near to center but deep slope of around 200-300 meter so while coming back to property, you are exhausted
The sizes of the room were good. The staff was really very very good.
