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.).

Staff was very accommodating and helpful. The place was clean inside and outside. There was a selection of fresh cookies for us when we arrived. Many things to see, including the beach within walking distance. There are no parking complaints. They have a water bottle refill station outside and a fire pit. Good water pressure. Tea, coffee, warm cookies & fruit were available in the morning. We received a pair of thermos :) It was excellent!

Did not have breakfast. My room was so lovely and homey. The bed was very comfortable. The Inn is well located with many good restaurants and stores within walking distances.

SwitzerlandNitpicking, but the insulation of the room was quite limited which meant that returning from a walk, it would be quite cold in the room. That being said it was winter and it was colder than usual for that area. The "fireplace" did heat the room back up quite quickly.
This was lodging number five on a two week road trip with my (former) significant other from San Marcos to San Francisco. The location is pretty good, as the Main Street is just a few minutes away and to get there is a simple walk both to the shops and restaurants and to the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful and the cookies and tea at reception are great. Nice room, the jacuzzi was a definite plus. Should I return to Carmel someday, I would likely stay here again.

United KingdomThe burning of gas for the outside firepit which burns continuously of an evening. Really bad to be burning fossil fuels in this way. Use wood if you really want a fire. Other than that what a great place.
Great location. Lovely staff. Room absolutely lovely. Really great.

New ZealandThe shower pressure and temperature wasn’t the best and staying during winter you look forward to a hot shower.
This property exceeded our expectations and can’t understand why it is not rated as a 4 star. It was tastefully furnished and the bed and bedding was very comfortable.
