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.).

ItalyThe area doesn't have a lot of public lighting, I had the perception it may be dangerous at night. Windows/Doors are exposed to other guests going through the corridor, so unless windows are covered by blackout blinds people can see inside, which I found odd. I am not a fan of neon light in bathrooms
Big room, Nice Kitchen, Comfortable bed, Excellent position close to the sea, nice garden, overall pleasant and clean

United StatesIt was a little loud, but given the location and the fact that it was Memorial Day Weekend, I really can’t fault the hotel. Our room was also really warm. Just FYI if you’re in an ocean-facing room: the windows facing the beach really heat up in the sun, so once your room starts getting direct sunlight (around 5/6 o’clock in the evening) close your curtains so your AC doesn’t have to compete too much. You can also open the door and the window by the bed to help circulate the air 😊
Such a cute property in an amazing location. I wasn’t able to stay long enough to really enjoy it, unfortunately, due to my flight being canceled and then having to catch one first thing in the morning. But what I did experience was fantastic. Everything seems recently renovated, and the staff was so nice! I also loved that our window facing the courtyard opened! It was so nice to be able to let the breeze in.

MexicoThe value for the money isn't quite there. I get that it's a tourist area, but 300 per night seems a bit steep for a hotel without a pool.
Great place, very clean and the rooms look very pretty. Walking distance from the Santa Monica Pier

AustraliaThe price is steep for the room category, but in keeping with the rates of the area and with a better location than many others. The side rooms are a bit dark in the day so I wouldn't want to work from there, however Mud/Wtr is a co-working/cafe space nearby should the need have arisen.
The location is perfect - right opposite Santa Monica beach and only a few steps from the eateries and boutiques on Main Street. The room has everything you need, including a coffee machine, and the bed is comfy. You enter the rooms via a secure gate which meant I felt safe during my stay. Important as a solo female traveller. I checked in with Chris and he was super helpful and accommodating. It was good to be able to leave my luggage after check-out and I noticed the staff locked the office if they left it, even briefly, so it felt secure.

Location was outstanding - across street to Santa Monica Beach and short distance to pier. Good jumping off point for going north along highway 1. Dogtown Coffee two blocks away for great coffee, and many good restaurants within walking distance. Room and bathroom were in great condition. Place was quiet. Courtyard was very pleasant.
