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 StatesI just wish they had a gym on site.
The hotel was wonderful and I enjoyed my stay. Very comfortable bed / bedding. Staff was excellent to deal with. Location to Petco Park and restaurants is great. Love that they have a water filling station in the lobby to refill reusable water bottles and even get hot water for coffee and tea.

United StatesUnfortunately, when we tried to book the same hotel for next year, they had doubled the room rate. So not cool. Next year we will be staying somewhere else.
We stayed here for Comic-Con. Our room was great, and the staff was really helpful.

United StatesThe only thing I will say that really bothered me. The first time getting into the elevator to go up to our room- a labradoodle came out and tried to attack me. The lady holding the dog did not have control over the dog where a mad had to grab the dog from keeping him from biting me. Dogs should be vetted better at the hotel for guests safety. I was not traveling with a pet and was very uncomfortable after that situation but had already paid for our room so we stayed
It is walking distance to Petco. Lots of restaurants and bars surrounding the hotel, expect some noise at night. The room we had, the noise was very minimal. And honestly, the bed is so magical- you’ll fall asleep with no problem. The look and feel of the hotel is warm and inviting. The rooms are a good size. The bathrooms are big. The streaming option was a very cool feature and the free items were nice.

United StatesIt doesn’t have its own parking lot. Had to pay $20 for overnight parking the block over. I think that’s very common in downtown areas though.
They went above and beyond with their amenities. I feel like these days, hotels are offering less and less to get their room rates lower which I understand. For the rate I paid, I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were.

IrelandMy room faced an inner courtyard, so was somewhat dark, but as I was out most of the day, this was a relatively minor issue.
The location is a very short walk from the convention centre, which was very convenient for my work. In addition, being in the Gaslamp area meant that there were plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby as well, and a good atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, and I appreciated the water bar in the lobby, as well as the availability of drinks and snacks. The pineapple cookies were excellent!

BrazilWe booked the hotel mainly based on location and price and were presently surprised at how nice it is. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, and the price for the location and quality of hotel was great. The hotel "theme" is a little different, but we really grew to love it, will look for Staypineapples in other cities.

United KingdomNothing to dislike!
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The welcome drink, pineapple shaped cookies, painted doors, cycle loan, refillable water bottles, all added to the superb quirkiness of the excellent hotel. It was very clean. The bed was large and very comfortable with fabulous duvets. Good quality toiletries and towels. We would definitely stay again and most certainly recommend.

United StatesNote on parking: It would be a nice touch to offer guests a discount or validation for nearby parking structures. I understand it’s common in downtown areas to have separate parking fees, but a small perk here would go a long way.
Really enjoyed the stay – the room had a comfortable bed, good blackout blinds, and a stylish thematic decor. Appreciated the couple of complimentary drinks and the option to rent bikes on-site. Would recommend!

VenezuelaPossibly the shower, it was very narrow and you had to be careful not to hit the door.
Luckily I was allocated a room that did not face the street, so it was quite quiet. I travelled for a conference and stayed 5 nights in the hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was a good size, the location near the Convention Center was very convenient.
