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 StatesIt is quite sketchy during the night time. The shower only had one glass panel for some reason so water was splashing outside of the shower area and onto the bathroom floor. The walls also seem quite thin. My partner and I were on the second floor and we could hear what the receptionist was watching in the lobby area.
Love how close it is to the beach and all the little shops and cafes.

New ZealandRoom could have had a few more non expensive items to enhance the room and make it much more welcoming Bathroom - Shower needs a bit of TLC to make it more functional and comfortable - better paint job in bathroom needed, a proper job in bathroom would fix everything, water ran out of corners of shower creating a pool of water in rest of bathroom floor area, bathroom / Shower window needs bit of maintenance.

United KingdomLots of bits in the room were worse for wear and could do with a fix up. Window broken so we couldn't open it much. Biggest issue was we felt quite unsafe in the area and after dark made sure we got taxis back. Huge homeless population with a lot of mental health issues. The hotel left earplugs and I wondered why, and the first night we could just hear someone screaming outside all night and it was really upsetting. One morning we woke up to police sirens and a police tent and presence on the beach. At first glance it's a great location, but if you're an empathetic person it may be a difficult stay.
Really nice spacious room, gorgeous beach views. Property right next to the beach and felt good for the price! Staff nice. Liked having a fridge and coffee maker. Really enjoyed hiring bikes and cycling along the front. Right next to Venice and a short walk to santa monica pier. Really liked the bar next door, cocktails were great! Easy check in.

CanadaVery close to the beach, top location. The room is very basic, which is to be expected with this booking. However, I think it was fair. The view from the toilet was amazing!! The entire room had amazing views, and that's what we wanted to prioritize, views and location. The building itself was basic.

MoroccoGreat, very helpful and friendly staff, who were the highpoint of the experience. The location also couldn't be better, but the room wasn't great. Definitely not the one in the picture! More like an office than a bedroom, ceiling in the bathroom leaked and few of the plugs worked.

AustraliaIt gets noisy at night time. The hotel thoughtfully provided ear plugs on the bedside table for use which helped.
Good location with ocean views. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were washing machines on site which was great for us as we'd been traveling for a few days and wanted to wash out clothes. If you need to get into the city area, you need to be aware of the traffic and plan well ahead.

AustraliaYou are sandwiched between 2 pubs, so expect a little noise at night (the free ear plugs by the bed were a bit of a give away). While there we had 3 different staff on. The 2 guys were great but at check in, the lady seemed to have no idea what she was doing. It was a bit chaotic! She was friendly though so all is forgiven.
You are RIGHT on the beach which is awesome, room was clean, and you get full size fridge and microwave. We chose partial ocean view. My friends were on a different side to me, and they definitely had the better partial view. I'd suggest you ask for the side opposite to the entry.
