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.).

NetherlandsThe room was super small, we did not expect this based on the photos on booking.com. We were sharing a double queen bedroom with four people, would not recommend (one person at the time could walk in the room). The door of the bathroom did not give a lot of privacy.
Clean, modern hotel with two nice, but small, terraces on our floor. Lobby was very comfortable and there was free coffee (including syrups) and fresh fruitwater. Staff was friendly and helpfull.

United StatesThe room was cozy and clean but the mattress was a bit stiff and the duvet was too warm. Bathroom was quite nice with excellent ventilation.
Excellent location on State Street, near the beach and adjacent to the Amtrak train station. The reception area was always stocked with tea and fruit.

United StatesWhen we booked, we indicated 3 people. Booking.com apparently didn’t consider this when we were offered the “double” room. A double room at this location is a twin bed in a small room. No way can three people fit in such a room. Obviously, booking.com doesn’t know about the rooms they offer.
Location!!!!! Take the Amtrak into SB if you can…so accessible.

United StatesOn a three night stay, my sheets, towels, etc. were not changed during my stay. Not a huge deal and I could have asked the staff and I’m sure they would have been accommodating, however when traveling and busy, it would have been preferred that these things were arranged rather than requested
Charming common spaces, 24/7 staff onsite, functional room design given small spaces

United StatesThe walls are SO thin, I could hear people talking in the hallway (not very loud) and I woke up early because kids were walking / running around in the room above me. For a modern hotel I was surprised at how thin the walls are. Maybe if I were on a top floor it wouldn't have bothered me. Also weirdly there was no place to plug in the Keurig coffee machine that was on the entrance.
The location is perfect, really close to the beach and steps away from restaurants and wine tasting rooms. The coffee downstairs was fine, the wifi worked fine (I had a work zoom call). The bed was comfy, and I knew the room would be small so that didn't bother me.

The location is more than ideal! Steps away from the beach, the Funk Zone, and everything State street has to offer. The rooms are clean and modern. Also, Santo Mezcal is connected so yummy drinks and food are just downstairs
