Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaThe drain in the shower was VERY slow to drain but it might have been due to the crazy storm that had just happened. It was the reason I stayed at the Inn. I had no power at home. The room was clean but a bit dated. Nothing a little bit of new paint can't fix though.
The lady at the front desk during check in was kind & very friendly. The bed was excellent. I slept great! I wish I had taken advantage of the free breakfast, (I slept in and had to get to work).

United States of AmericaThe room behind me shared a bathroom wall and it was fabulous at transmitting the racket the celebrants produced at midnight and later. I brought my own fleece blanket to augment the provided bedding. You could run the heat to keep warm under the scanty covers, but I preferred to add a layer and not have the wall unit cycling on and off.
The on-site restaurant (lunch dinner) serves the guest continental breakfast and it's exceptional. The attendant will cook you a waffle. Butter and a massive pitcher of syrup are at the ready. She cut up fresh pineapple each morning. She prepares hard boiled eggs to go with the usual fare of bagels, muffins, and boxed cereal. Hot water for tea, and fresh coffee. The building is 60 years old, so it looks a little worn, but it's set back from the busy avenue and there's plenty of parking. On-site laundry and vending machines. The bed was comfortable. Everything worked.

FranceThe room is pretty old, the door did not seal very well so the heater had to be on the whole night. Average breakfast but it's included in the price.
Good location to reach San Francisco. Restaurant on site where you get breakfast or you can get a dinner too. The room was ok for overnight stay and reasonably clean.

United States of AmericaIt's an older property but very well maintained.
Large 2 queen room. Close to freeway but large wall meant we never heard the traffic. Close to Muir Woods area as well as Angel Island, Stinson Beach and Guide Dogs for the Blind. Felt like a very safe area.

United States of AmericaThe facility is a great value and more than what we expected. Even with our late check-in, there were still parking spaces available which made it a small walk to our room. The staff is genuinely friendly and they make you feel like family upon arrival. The room we had was bigger than we expected. It also had a small kitchenette with an eating area and a separate bedroom for the kids. The main area is spacious. The surrounding rooms were quiet. Although the room was a little dated, we could tell that it was being renovated. It was a very convenient and comfortable stay.

United States of AmericaIf you can get past chipped and cracked paint in the ceiling, cabinets and tub, this is a great place to stay. It is very clean, just a little tired. The continental breakfast was very basic. It would have been much better if it included yogurt.
The room was clean and spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the heater worked great on a cold night. It was super easy to jump on the freeway and get to the city in minutes.All in all, it's a good room.for a good price and I will go back.
