How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI really enjoyed how clean everything looked and no "old hotel smell". Oddly enough, I usually dislike hotels because of how loud and thin-walled they are. This hotel was so relaxing and quiet even though it was full of people. Maybe all of the people were just being respectful, which is a nice sight. My new favorite hotel in the San Diego area.
I can't think of a single negative thing during my stay. Great vibes in this hotel.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that the peaceful atmosphere and cleanliness made your stay so enjoyable. It means a lot to know we’ve become your favorite spot in San Diego. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Verified reviewmy room didn't have hair conditioner. hair shampoo and body wash was there, but there was no hair conditioner. I have stayed at Hampton Inn multiple times including this location previously. but the mattress in this room felt old and sagged down? at my previous stay, the mattress felt much better. Actually one of the reasons why I like Hampton Inn is because the bed usually is more comfortable than other hotels.

Verified reviewCleanliness and late check-in. It also provided free ice at multiple ice machines. It also has a pool and a small but fuctioning fitness center.
Breakfast was not as expected. Very simple scrambled eggs, potato, and sausauge as main. No bacons or others as Booking.com labeled as very good breakfast. Not sure why the pool closed at 10pm when there were no lifeguard on duty anyway.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you appreciated the cleanliness, comfort, and amenities like the ice machines and fitness center. We’re sorry the breakfast and pool hours didn’t meet expectations—your input helps us improve.

Verified reviewThe staff were super friendly and the room was very clean. There was also a comfy bed, a great shower, and the area felt safe. 10/10 recommend. The deposit was only $25 and that covered the parking cost entirely. Definitely one of the cheapest deposits in the area by far.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the value and comfort we offer. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon.
