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.).

We loved the hotel, the room was beautiful and the staff was great. My only disappointment was that the restaurant was not open until the weekend. It would have been much more convenient for us to be able to dine in the hotel.

United StatesAlthough things have been upgraded, some are starting to wear a bit and aren't 100% crisp/fresh. There were some worn spots in the room and some of the chairs and decor at the pool were looking tired. But, everything was clean and the friendly and attentive staff were great!
The updates to the hotel are nice and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Very attentive staff and nicely sized rooms make for a pleasant stay.

United StatesThe location is perfect. The hotel is very nice and our room on the top floor was beautiful. Very large, renovated, and very comfortable. Unfortunately the ice machine on our floor didn’t work and because we faced the air conditioning units it was very loud at night. You get access to the pool which is a great feature and free coffee in the morning. It’s gotten pricey over the years, but where else can you find beachfront property during the height of the summer? So for me it’s worth the price.

United StatesThe room I booked said ocean view and cost a pretty penny, when we arrived I could see the ocean, albeit through three large buildings . The closet was broken , and the shower was barely big enough for a child . The resort stopped serving food around 10 pm and it was the 4th of July. The mattresses were uncomfortable, and I genuinely felt I’d been had at the price we paid for the room .
😂 what breakfast ?

United StatesThe room I had rented had a beautiful ocean view. When I first arrived to the room I immediately went to pull up the blinds to find that there is no chain to do so. I called maintenance to come up and fix the issue and were told they would be right up. That night, no one had arrived so I went downstairs to guest services and asked again. I was told that they would send someone up and I waited but no one came. We also asked for a fresh pair of linens and did not receive those either. The staff at guest services were great and friendly other than that.
The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel is walking distance to the beach and boardwalk with exceptional views of the ocean. The hotel itself was immaculate and clean from walking in the front doors, the elevators and the room.

United StatesThe room itself had some areas that were worn out (the windows facing street side are cloudy, the AC vents are rough, the carpet was looking pretty scuffed up), but it's an old building; we just call that character!
Berkeley Hotel location can't be beat; we love that it's directly across from the Boardwalk, near the Wonderbar, and all our favorite stuff. The common areas have been upgraded and look fantastic; love the art gallery, the music scene area, etc. Best hotel value for sure in all of Asbury Park, and we love it b/c of the pool for our 6-year-old, so it's family friendly while still having a fun vibe.

United StatesThe key cards were hard to manage on operating the elevator and to also when opening our hotel room door. The first night of our two night stay the hotel room door jammed and we were locked out of our room. We had to wait a short time for maintenance to arrive to fix it. The valet parking was quite expensive $45 per night, and the paid street parking is comparably priced. Upon checking out there was no valet, so I had to get my car. I was not given a receipt for my stay when I checked out either. There was quite a step down from the bathtub to the floor in our room. Definitely a safety hazard.
Great location! Short walk to the Beach and Asbury Park Boardwalk. Room was adequate bed was very comfortable. Sorry to say that we did not get a chance to enjoy any of the other enmities of the hotel but what we saw looked well kept.
