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 StatesThere is no parking here which is odd. They don't comp the parking garage next door. Also my hotel neighbor was up all night talking on the phone and we could hear everything. Luckily we brought earplugs. For $200 a night I shouldn't hear anything.
Location is great. Was easy to find and next to everything down town.

United StatesParking is a bit of a challenge. We ended up street parking (on a Sunday night) with no issues. Could of used some luggage racks in the room to set suitcases on.
Great location. Big clean room. Nice bedding. Lobby bar looked nice. Walked through campus in the morning.

United StatesThe King bed was very comfortable- the pullout bed was pretty bad. Too small for two people and very uncomfortable mattress. The room heaters were very loud and kept us up as they turned on and off all night. The room was very clean - which was nice. The shower drain was slow and the tub filled with water after two showers. Staff was quite friendly.

United StatesThe room we had was a bit small, but it was comfortable. My wife wished there was a hot water kettle for tea.
I liked the helpful staff and clean facilities. I especially liked that it was an interesting historic building. A good location near downtown, the university, and public transportation. Two coffee makers in the room (Keurig and Nespresso)!

GermanyEvery day there was a different amount and variation of towels. One day I had to ask for a shower towel, the next day the hand towel was missing... If you need an invoice, make sure you get it printed out while check out. My stay was one month ago and I still do no have the invoice. Called several time to the hotel, also tried to contact the hotel via booking.com. Every time I was assured they will send it via mail... but till today, no invocie. Would not recommend the hotel for business travel.
The price is good, considering the area (Berkeley). Also the location is very good, close to a BART station. The rooms are quite comfortable.

United StatesUnfortunately there wasn’t a parking lot for the hotel so we had to pay $38/night. Also the bedding and pillows were uncomfortable and cheap. Time for an upgrade!
The hotel was located close to the Berkeley campus and to great dining options.

United StatesLinen in the room was minimal. One wash cloth and hand towel for 2 people and no shower mat. We used the had towel. I also appreciate real half and half for the coffee in the room. I cannot drink coffeemate, the only option there was.
The lemon drop martini at cocktail hour was exquisite. Breakfast delicious-we had the artichoke heart, fresh basil and tomato scramble. Staff members at both the hotel and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to another trip to Berkeley so we can stay at the Shattuck.
