Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesWe had to change rooms after being awakened at 0600 hrs due to a loud extended “pipe digging” sound above us. There is a bar above #1128, but the manager had no notice of planned activity at that time. She moved us to a larger, more comfortable room which we greatly appreciated. Room #1127 had no hot water, and my Mother was moved also. Room keys did not operate all floors in the elevators, and I was later told they should. One cannot get ice from other floors if the key only works for one floor. During breakfast, a couple of homeless were spotted getting piles food and going out the back exit. More workers are needed to watch for this. It is not sanitary, and guests do not pay for this. Valets need more help during high census times. The valet text feature only worked once for us. Parking is very expensive at $54 per day.
The property is very convenient to UC Berkeley and my daughter’s place in Berkeley. There’s a lot of eateries and convenience stores you can walk to. The property is newish and kept clean. For someone who eats a carnivore diet, I found the breakfast to be hearty with plenty of eggs and bacon. Breakfast workers are extremely courteous.

Breakfast was excellent, lots of choices and tasted great. The room was large and the mini kitchen was so cute my kids opted to cook in rather than dine out. The bathroom was a great layout for a crew of 4. They welcomed my dog with a dog treat at the front desk too. Would love to stay here again.

We loved it all! We loved the staff especially - all the staff, the valets, the front desk, the cleaning staff, the food service staff, etc. We especially want to thank Rhashana, our food service provider from Nepal. Rhashana greeted us every morning and made sure we were happy. Thank you Rhashana and thank you Marriott!

United StatesUnfortunately, we did not know we visited Residence Inn for overnight on UCB freshman orientation weekend & hotel was super busy w/ lots of guests. (I graduated over 4 decades ago from UCB & love Berkeley, but my daughter & I wanted a quieter accommodation.)
Lovely 4th floor clean, quiet, roomy king bed/ suite. Enjoyed “Study Hall” rooftop bar, breakfast had good & solid healthy food choices. Appreciated quick, courteous valet parking in congested Berkeley.
