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 StatesRooms don’t have air which isn’t too big an issue in San Fran, but I felt like it could have been an issue especially with no screens for windows.
Clean, the common areas were amazingly clean and despite the age of the property it is clear they spent a lot of time and effort to keep it up.

United StatesThe heater in the room made noise at night, sort of a low humming/buzzing. At first I thought it was the toilet running. Given that we needed to run the ceiling fan, there was no need for the heat to run. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. The water took quite a while to heat up
Room was clean. Staff was nice. Location is great

GermanyIt's right in the middle of town. Quite 'quirky' and clearly a favourite of pot smokers! The staff were very helpful. If you're afraid of the realities of San Francisco. meaning homelessness and drug addicts, it may not be to your taste as there is a little of that in the area. There is a Trader Joe's site close, BART is close and the bar next door was good. If you're an experienced traveler, this hotel is a good enough place to stay.

CanadaI would say that coffee and tea hour should extend another hour, instead of 9 AM sit should closed at 10 AM.
It’s centrally located in the downtown area, just 3 minutes walk away from the Powell subway line. The staff was very warm, supportive and welcoming.

United StatesIt would have been nice to be able to crack open my window as it was kind of stuffy in the room.
This is a very good budget hotel. You do not get the amenities that you would normally get in a more traditional hotel, such as: full bathroom in your room, mini fridge, microwave, A/C or even a continental breakfast. That was not a problem for me. I got a very low daily rate, saving me 50% of what I’d normally have to spend on any other hotel in downtown San Francisco. The money I saved was put towards experiences outside the hotel like tours and restaurants. I’d stay here again!

SloveniaA bit spooky place, dark, not really clean... Once we paid our accomodation and were to early to check in, we went to explore the city. As we returned the receptionist did not find our booking. After asking someone they found it. Strange, you pay and then... I will not return.
Location is central, although the center of san francisco is full of homeless people.

United StatesOne front desk there's one employee, a young guy who wares a covid mask. He is extremely rude, never even smiles and seemed to be targeting me? Last time I was there I had a medication reaction and he had to call an ambulance. I was OK after they left but very weak(I've got stage 4 cancer) he was rushing me out of the room. I could hardly walk, I informed him that my roomate was on the way to help me he said if I wasn't out in 15 min he'd charge me for another day then informed me that I couldn't stay any way even if he charged me. This time he a a used me of not paying on one occasion, not true and some other thing that didn't happen. The rest of the staff is great very nice to me..

SpainThe room was quite small, and if you wanted anything done to the room, you had to specifically request it at reception. I feel a sign to hang on the door would be a much simpler solution. But no massive complaints.
The location is incredible. Looking at maps before arrival, it looked like getting anywhere was going to take forever, but it couldn't have been simpler. Lots of shops, bars, restaurants and even a cinema nearby. The laundry in the basement was a lifesaver for us, as we were in the middle of a long trip.
