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 StatesWhen I arrive, my room smelled like smoke. I had they couldn’t get me another room with a similar view, but they did credit me for the upgrade. The breakfast experience was horrible. There was very loud music inside, so I went out on the deck, hoping it would be quieter there, but it was not. The music was kind of loud disco music and even though I asked several people about turning it down they said they couldn’t unless the manager authorized it and he wasn’t on site. It was really like being assaulted. I don’t understand how you could turn such a beautiful setting into such an unpleasant experience and be so unconscious of the impact.
The location was good. The building was a little confusing.

United StatesLooked like more emphasis was placed on the obvious parts of the hotel and not all areas. To pay extra for the dock water view and have to tell the staff to clean bird poop off the patio every day was not desirable. There was also obvious mold above the shower head. I had to ask for more toilet paper since only one roll was provided at a time. The pool should have an adults-only time since there was always families and kids there. The fitness center was very small and didn’t even have towels. The rooms near the water need to be refreshed in general, with new paint and carpeting.

United StatesThe room had no view but did let in light and was quiet. One had to walk outside to have a view. Spare but adequate and very clean, a place to sleep peacefully.
I experienced the staff roaming about the facility at their tasks as exceptionally courteous and helpful. This made a great difference in the ambience of my stay. Felt safe. I loved being adjacent to the bay. The front desk and lobby people were much less so, less welcoming, perhaps because the architecture of the entrance is cramped for the size of the facility and they feel more besieged.

AustraliaSpacious with a decent reception with lounge and seats in the lobby and the back hallway leading to restaurant, there is a water refilling station in the front and ice maker facility in the 2nd building. There is also a coin operated laundry which is very helpful. There is the usual hotel laundry if preferred. I especially like that the staff are easy to find, from reception and cleaners or anyone I speak with are accommodating and helpful. The room has good lighting, clean and smells fresha, the towels and beddings and pillow cases are good quality. I enjoyed my stay.

United StatesThe room had a funky smell and when I went to plug in to one of the electrical outlets behind the nightstand, it had a layer of dirty dust on it like it had never been cleaned.
Location was nice, although we did not make time to walk around the property. The restaurant is very nice and the hours of operation convenient.

United StatesMake sure to read the texts on the breakfast coupon if you get one. It is only valid for certain dishes (not all dishes on the a-la-carte menu are included) even though both the reception and booking.com said "breakfast is included". We were not explicitly informed about these terms at the reception or at the breakfast room until we were paying our bill. However, the staff at the hotel resolved the issue very responsively and professionally for us. I therefore still recommend anyone to stay here.
The location is great, staff are very helpful, and good facilities on site as well. Also, since it is by the Berkeley Marina, there is also a great view of the Bay and SF as well. I recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in Berkeley and has a car. Breakfast is also very delicious.

United StatesHad to pay extra for parking and for a room on the marina side. My daughter accidentally left behind a stuffed animal and I have talked with housekeeping the afternoon on the day we checked out and still haven't heard back. Also, they didn't offer their chocolate chip cookies upon check-in.
Room was nice, clean and comfortable, great view of marina.

United StatesIt’s very dated and needs a revamp but in the meantime our TV did not function or the remote didn’t. We had to unplug it to turn it off as we had dinner reservations in the city and didn’t have time to get someone to fix it and got in really late after dinner. There was a pair of the previous occupants socks within view under a bed side table and there were other peoples hair in the shower/bath area.
The location is amazing!

BelgiumOur room in building 4 was quite dated, the door looked like it would fly open with a bit of a push from the outside. Parking is huge but they charge $40+tax per night for it while there is plenty of street parking available too.
Nice hotel by the water, friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. We had breakfast included which was one drink plus a-la-carte options such as full American breakfast, waffles, salmon cream cheese bagel, etc. All delicious.
