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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesNo restaurant on site, but not such a problem as there were plenty in the surrounding area.
The reception area smelled so nice each time we came in/out, friendly staff & welcoming. Rooms are spacious & clean, bed is super comfortable. Location was great for Union Square, walkable to many spots; convenient parking garages nearby.

IrelandVery few amenities on offer. The bar was closed & the free coffee in the morning very disappointing as no milk provided & it was just weak coffee in a flask.
It was a beautiful design & great location. Staff were great and very helpful! Even giving us an upgrade as we were celebrating a birthday.

Very good location, very close to Union Square and severla shops. The hotel is very querky with a nice retro vibe and the staff is very kind, but overall rooms were quite dusty and could be cleaner. A bit noisy at night.

United KingdomThe room had a full fridge and tons of snacks... none of which were complementary, basically meaning I couldn't use the fridge to store my own things. The bathroom is neat but the shower could use a removable head, otherwise it's hard to shower only the body.
Great location, friendly staff. This is a fab place for a couple nights. However, the walls are very thin. The people above me clearly had kids and you could hear every single jump off the bed. The beds are big and cozy. There's not much space in the rooms but that is to be expected in SF. Just gotta play suitcase tetris and you're good!

United KingdomUpon checking in was informed the elevator was out of order, no big deal, guests all placed on a lower floor to remedy this - the problem became apparent overnight when trying to sleep, I was allocated a room right near the stairs so was awoken multiple times by people moving about on and dragging luggage up the wooden staircase (just behind the head of my bed). Staff remedied this by giving a new room for subsequent nights. Would have loved the bar to be open for drinks in the evening. This seems like such a waste of a great space.
Honestly everything about the place. The hotel is lovely and has a great aesthetic. Comfortable beds and great shower - the toiletries smelt great as did the entire hotel. Pastries and coffee in the bar area each morning was a great touch - just make sure to get there earlier as on one occasion when I went later they had run out. Great location with buses to Fisherman’s Wharf and Crissy Field just outside the front door. Despite my criticism below on the initial room staff were quick to remedy by allocating a new room further away from the stairs, telling me to take my time moving things between rooms. This solved all negatives and was done apologetically and with no pushback from staff. If you are after a quieter stay or have had a long flight, ask for a room further away from the stairs and you shouldn’t have any issues.

United StatesHot water kettle in room would be good. We had one in Seattle. Not a deal breaker by any means, just a suggestion.
Pali Hotels make sure you have everything you need and are very comfortable and accommodating. This was no exception. We were very happy there and will definitely be back when we need to "escape" to San Francisco again.

United StatesA little noisy at night from a nearby restaurant kitchen. Bathroom vanity is tiny. There was an espresso machine but nobody operates it.
Great location, parking across the street, safe and easy walk to several great neighborhoods, coffee, restaurants, shopping, theaters. The room was chic, pretty, and comfy with robes and a wool blanket. Second floor lounge is spacious for a morning treat and drip coffee or meeting up with friends, doing work, etc.

PolandUnfortunately, during my visit, the lift wasn't working, which posed a challenge, especially since my room was on the 6th floor. The bathroom, while well-equipped, suffered from low water pressure in the shower and a delay in getting warm water. Additionally, there were no restrooms available outside the rooms, which was inconvenient. The room itself was quite chilly. It would have been appreciated to have been informed about these shortcomings before arrival, and a price discount to compensate for them would have been a nice gesture. Overall, while Palihotel has its positives, the issues encountered during my stay detracted from the overall experience.
My stay at Palihotel in San Francisco was a mixed experience. The hotel exudes charm, with everything looking even better in person than in the pictures. The atmosphere is lovely, and the location, just steps from Union Square, couldn't be better. The receptionists were incredibly helpful throughout my stay.
