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 StatesWe were impressed by the beauty of the house, the warmth of Marty and the view from the rooftop. The most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed at in San Francisco.

CanadaThe bathroom floor could use a good bleach scrub, and the dust removed from the heater in the wall. However, the tub area and sink were very clean! The bed and pillows were comfortable. Only the bedspread was tired, and shed lint onto our clothes.
Love staying at The Inn. The authenticity of the building is mind-boggling in its preservation and decor. Guests can actually feel how the Victorians lived in such magnificent beauty. Marty and his staff are wonderful—friendly, fun, and professional. Breakfast is beautifully presented, with much variety, and attention to detail. The 24-hour access to coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and water was super.

United StatesPeople should be aware that there are no elevators, and lots of stairs. My room was next to the garden on the first floor, and there were lots of tiny ants that came in along the outer wall. This probably would not affect the other rooms in the place, though.
The room was small but very very cozy, bed was small but also cozy. The bathtub was small too (could sit but not lay down) but nice and deep. Breakfast was very extensive and gorgeous to both the eye and the tastebuds. The place should be described as a B&B, not a hotel, and the entire place was furnished with beautiful old-fashioned appointments.

Great spot in the Mission, cozy and beautiful building and the breakfast was really good too. Loved just how unique the place looks and will definitely stay there again when I'm back in town.

United StatesIf you’re there during unusually warm weather for SF (like we were), it will be hot in your room because there is no air conditioning. A small fan was provided, but it was still very warm and stuffy at night, even with the window open. The street can be quite noisy late into the night. The parking garage is very tight; when they say you can only have a small car in there, they are not exaggerating. With a small hatchback, it was tricky to enter and exit the garage without hitting the side mirrors.
The old B&B style was very nicely maintained while having up-to-date restrooms and overall facilities. It is a unique atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff, and the breakfast spread was plentiful, attractive, and tasty. The garage parking was convenient if you’re able to reserve a spot through the hotel.

IrelandBreakfast options were quite basic. In terms of the location, it's not exactly central, but the surrounding area is safe.
The house is a little piece of SF history, with much of its original decoration and charm maintained. The rooms are huge and well furnished. The back garden and small roof gardens are very pretty and secluded and provide the opportunity to eat breakfast or take coffee outside, if the weather allows.

United StatesIt was a bit of a climb up to our third story bedroom but I believe you can request a lower floor bedroom if needed.
What a gorgeous place — unique and special. We opted to stay here instead of a generic or trendy “paint by numbers” hotel, and we’re so glad we did! This beautifully restored and maintained Victorian townhouse has a distinct feeling of character and history, and its friendly staff create a feeling of community and connection. The breakfast buffet was fabulous, and our only regret is that we didn’t remember to bring swimsuits to check out the gorgeously situated hot tub on the back patio! Location in the Mission District was extremely walkable to amazing restaurants. The back patio and the rooftop area were genuinely gorgeous and peaceful — an oasis in the city! The bed in our room was incredibly comfortable, and the room felt perfectly clean. I certainly recommend for anyone looking for a classy, comfortable, and uniquely San Francisco experience!

United StatesConsider mobility: it's an older building, and there are stairs.
This inn has more character and style in one broom closet than most corporate hotels have in an entire high rise. Pick this one for personality, history, AND a great location. Breakfast was lovely, and the staff was very helpful. It's an easy car ride from the airport, and there are walkable restaurants and bars in every direction. Pack a swimsuit, because the hot tub looks spectacular.
