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 StatesEverything was perfect
We stayed at The Carlton for just one night after a long 12-hour drive from Oregon. The hotel is a delightful blend of old-world elegance with modern comforts. The tasteful decor was a welcome change from the generic chain hotels we had endured the past few days. Best overall for us - We didn’t have to drive to a restaurant for dinner since great restaurants are within easy walking distance (1-2 blocks) - We highly recommend Mr. Q's. The Carlton's perfect location, combined with its charming atmosphere, made it the perfect stopover.

Love the architectural details throughout this historic hotel. You don't see this level of craftsmanship in today's building construction. Furnishings are top quality. Rooms are spacious, quiet and well appointed. For a hotel of this vintage, it has been meticulously maintained.

United States2 quick comments - our whirlpool did not work (we didn’t need it but it should be fixed). Also, the temperature of the hot water heater is too high. It’s scorching. By lowering it by a couple of degrees the hotel will be saving a fortune.
I stay there often. It’s quiet, clean, spacious and perfectly located for me.

United StatesThe hotel's restaurant was closed for refurbishments and had been closed for several months. The Booking.com website did not reflect this information.
The hotel is beautiful and our room was very spacious. The large tub with jets was a real treat. The front desk staff was welcoming and provided good recommendations for places to eat within walking distance from the hotel.

United StatesFear the new ownership won't respect and maintain the historic character of the hotel. It can be updated/freshened, if that's what they want to do, without destroying the historic vibe. It's a gem of a place, please don't turn it in to a Hampton Inn.
Love the historic building and furnishings. Rooms are large and confortable. Love the bathrooms and interior courtyard. Atascadero is a good location for wine tasting, golfing, and other activities around SLO. or Paso Robles or the coast. The bakery next door has excellent pastries and coffee.

This is a really cool hotel. It's in the heart of a very small town. Nice interior courtyard. The furnishings are really stylish; updated new decor but in the style of the period the hotel had its opening heyday. Free parking.

United StatesAs mentioned in the amenities, there was no tub. That was a huge disappointment, since I brought bath salts because I don’t have a tub in my home. . As mentioned in the amenities, there were no bathrobes. The desk did not mention the spa/workout room, so I don’t know if it was in operation.
The hotel is historic, almost 100 years old. The remodel was very elegant. The room was spacious and accommodating and plush.
