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):
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 StatesThat you had to pay for parking and for breakfast.
Perfect for what we needed. Right by golden 1 center so we went to a concert and had a great time. All easy walking distance from golden 1. Room was basic but clean. Bummer how much parking and breakfast costs but location still made it worth it.

Great location to down town, and Old Sac waterfront. Staff was excellent food and amenities around the hotel were great.

United StatesWhy would anyone put the soap dispenser half way up the wall about 3 feet from the nearest sink? It's awkward and inconvenient.
The location is ideal for visiting DOCO, the arena, Old Sacramento, the Leland Stanford Mansion, the Crocker Museum. These are all just around the corner or within a 10-minute walk as is the Sacramento Valley train station. The beds were very comfortable; the room clean; the staff was exceptionally helpful in giving us directions and recommendations.

United StatesI didn't like the breakfast started later so, I wasn't able to stop and get any. The lighting in the room was a little dark but we got through it. We had to drive where we needed to go, but it wasn't a big determining factor.
I loved the location and I thought that the price was very affordable. The room was very clean and spacious. We needed accessible parking and there was never an issue. Breakfast was available but we did not get a chance to go down and get it.

United StatesThe parking situation is not the best. We parked in the public parking garage that is located just south of the hotel (a very short walk to the hotel)…right next to it. It’s $25 a night and requires a parking validation from the hotel. The hotel also has minimal parking areas, which are nice if there is available spaces. The downside is if you leave your space….their might not be one when you return.
We attended a concert at the Golden One Arena (Heart)…and the hotel is a very short walk through a mall area (about one block) that is lighted well, with lots of foot traffic. Many concert goers stay at this property.

United StatesOne thing I didn’t like was that some parts of the hotel feel a bit dated and could use some upgrades. While the room was clean and comfortable, the furnishings and decor seemed a bit worn, and certain areas, like the hallways and elevators, showed signs of age.
I recently stayed again at the Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown-Arena and chose this hotel primarily for its convenient location and reasonable price. Having stayed here before, I knew it would be a solid option for a comfortable and well-situated stay in Sacramento. Location: 5/5 The hotel is perfectly located in downtown Sacramento, just a short walk from Golden 1 Center, making it a great choice for anyone attending an event or game. It's also close to Old Sacramento, restaurants, and local attractions, which is a major plus. The accessibility to major highways and public transportation is another reason this hotel works well for both business and leisure trips. Price & Value: 4/5 Compared to other hotels in the area, the pricing is competitive, especially considering the location. While it’s not the most luxurious option, it offers a solid balance of affordability and convenience. Given Sacramento’s rising hotel rates, I found it to be a great value for what you get.
