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.).

Charming and comfortable hotel. This was our 3rd stay here. The owners are GREAT and friendly, personable, and very helpful. It's good for an easy run route down S. Palm Canyon Dr. Gorgeous views from the location. This is our go-to Palm Springs hotel!

United StatesThe appliances in the room weren't the best. The Toaster in our room did not work. The microwave was difficult to operate. the coffee maker took up the whole counter top, it was way too big. The toilet backed up on our last morning from almost nothing in the bowl. there was NO plunger in the room. I had to get help from the staff to locate a Plunger from the room next door. The small safe was not bolted down to anything and could be carried out the door anytime.
It is a really nice, small and quiet Adult hotel. The staff was Great. Location was perfect. Parking was good. There was a nice veiw of the mountains from the Hotel. Overall we liked the Hotel

United KingdomThe room was a bit tired but for our 2 days, it didn't spoil our stay as we regarded it as quaint and not your 'run of the mill' hotel.
We were greeted by Terri and nothing was too much trouble. She worked double shifts for 2 days and she worked so hard to keep customers happy, The Happy Hours were great and the popcorn a nice surprise. The resort was quaint (but see below). Very comfortable bed.

United KingdomThe pool was a bit too warm! Otherwise it was all really great especially the staff!
The hotel is in a great location in Palm Springs. It's old school and the effort and friendliness of staff was outstanding. Every evening candles were lit around the courtyard. Music carefully chosen and staff working away planting things and making it all look good. The pool was lovely to have and there is constant access to a little kitchen. From one side of the pool you could see the desert mountains. We really enjoyed our stay... the perfect choice!

BelgiumLocation. Next to a busy street with lots of traffic
Breakfast was basic but sufficient. Location was along a busy road so this could be better. Overall the layout of the hotel, the reception and complementary items were above expectation. On our 16 days trip we stayed at 9 different hotels across California and Nevada. Mostly 4 and 5 stars, but Hotel California was the best by far.

Brazilliterally nothing, we loved everything.
everything! the whole environment is welcoming, cozy and quiet. I really loved the outside area, there is lots of green, which makes more shade and more refreshing environment. Breakfast is served from 7:30am to 10:30am in the kitchen, and you are able to help yourself with whatever they have there. besides that time, the kitchen is still open and you can still get food there, juice, yogurt, cookies. the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, about 10/15 minutes from whatever we wanna do. I really loved that place.

United StatesThe plumbing worked but needed a little tweaking to address a leaky shower faucet. There is nothing else that we didn’t like for found problematic.
This is a cozy little hotel just outside of downtown Palm Springs. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The pool and outside area are filled with tropical plants and there seemed to be enough tables and chairs for everyone. Misters were a bonus on hot days. They offer a very full continental breakfast (cereal, toast,, boiled eggs, packaged muffins) and have a full kitchen available for guests to use. There are also bikes which are free for guests to use. The room was clean and nicely decorated. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

United StatesAll of the positives and the great time I enjoyed during my stay at the Hotel California Palm Springs diminish any dislikes to the point I can’t even think of them.
The Hotel California Palm Springs has everything and then some for an enjoyable stay in the beautiful dessert environs. The hotel is and ideal place to hunker down, relax, and enjoy the Palm Springs sunshine poolside all day long. The pool area patio, which is surrounded by just the right amount of flora and much greenery, gets abundant sunshine until pretty much until sundown sundown, and even after the sun goes down; you can still hangout in the patio (cold beer or chilled glass of wine in hand) area poolside and bask in the twilight and then the candle light the staff provided by the staff. The hotel’s fleet of cruiser type bicycles are the perfect light mornig of late afternoon workout to go explore the surrounding neighborhoods and admire the beautiful Palm Springs Architecture. The community kitchen, where you go for the light breakfast, has a full range stove and bbq. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking, serving, and plating utensils needed to prepare a full dinner, lunch, a more extensive breakfast or just cocktails and snacks for an afternoon/evening of just hanging out. The Hotel California is impressive in how they care for their guests. A special acknowledgement for Jessica who made my checkin welcoming and pleasant!
