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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewModern hotel with beautifully appointed rooms and reception spaces.
Whilst the hotel is well situated for Union Square , shopping and the Cable Car/Trolley Bus stops, the streets around the hotel - Turk, Eddy, Taylor and Mason - are a hotbed for druggies and vagrants, with groups becoming noisy at night.

Verified reviewBreakfast was fine. Bed was very comfortable
The stay was marred by two things. Firstly the windows were so filthy that it really showed. We had paid extra for a corner room with lots of windowa and the condition of the windows and their filthiness (outside) really impinged on this. The second issue was being charged a random $40 a night fee. When I challenged this, I was told that it was to cover the "free wifi" among other things. This is outrageous. When I complained the front desk couldnt justify the fee and they told me that they had dscussed the windows and they were being cleaned next month. I paid hundreds of dollars for a special room and I am not staying next month, so it was totally irrelevant to me.
Greetings David, We were delighted to share our home with you and trust that your time exploring Union Square, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Park, or any number of the other area fixtures that bring joy to so many left a lasting impression. We wish the totality of your on-site experience had resonated more fully and apologize for the concerns you had with our building’s exterior and our Destination Charge. We do share information regarding our Destination Charge online, including what it covers, from Wi-Fi to a $15 food and beverage credit, complimentary bike rentals, and more. We’ll continue to be transparent about what we ask of guests, as we understand the importance of level-setting during the booking process and throughout stays. Should we have the privilege of welcoming you again, we’ll do everything we can to ensure that experience shines more fully. Take care until then. Warm Regards, Justin Williams General Manager

Verified reviewSo many wonderful things to say about the hotel. From the valet to the bedding. This hotel was absolutely fabulous. The staff was superior. Went out of their way to meet all of our needs and make our stay absolute perfection. We ate at both of the restaurants and they were fabulous. Exceptional service there as well. The beds and the rooms were so comfortable. Had two of the best nights sleep in a long time.
There was only one thing that we did not like about this hotel, and it had nothing to do with the hotel itself. But it should be mentioned that the location of this hotel is in the heart of the tenderloin district, which is the most unsafe sector of San Francisco. Overrun with homeless and violence. And very dirty. You cannot walk around outside after dark at all. So while the hotel is located near Union Square if you are out and about after dark, you must take an Uber back even though it’s only a couple of blocks away. It’s really unfortunate that the hotel is so incredible and located in the worst part of San Francisco.
Greetings Raeann, Reading how much you adored your on-site experience with us made our morning. From your kind words touching on the excellence of our team to the fact that you enjoyed some of the best rest in recent memory, it sounds like our goal to serve as a sanctuary amidst the bustle of San Francisco was met during your visit. Thank you for those notes, and know that safety continues to be our top priority. We hope you noticed the protocols and team members we have in place whose sole focus is maintaining our security standards. We’d be privileged to welcome you again and, in the meantime, are wishing you the best in your continued adventures through California and beyond. Warm Regards, Justin Williams General Manager
