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 StatesFloor was dirty. I accidentally spilling water and used the bath mat to wipe it up. The mat came up very dirty. It made me realize the floor hadn’t been mopped in a long time.
Friendly staff, good location, great breakfast. Sheets are fantastic.

United StatesThe staff at check in was a bit strange. Repeated himself several times and wasn't clear in responses when I was asking questions. Wasn't a great first impression. All rooms require walk up brick steps to access - there are no ramps (that I could see). This made it a bit challenging to carry my belongings up the steps w/no help from staff. It was doable, but unexpected. Finally, there were ants in the kitchenette area of the room.
The breakfast was amazing! Hot and homecooked each morning. It was nice to have a private patio as well - since I had my dog with me. The weather was great on our last morning so I sat outside to eat breakfast. The location of the hotel was also quite convenient. As I was told, you can park your car and never move it. And that's pretty much what we did. Parked the car for the 2 nights and walked everywhere. Saved from having to find parking in downtown.

United StatesThe location was great and although there was parking at the property we didn't even need to use our car. We were close to shops and restaurants and were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed complimentary happy hour as well as coffee and breakfast in the garden area....so quaint and relaxing!

United StatesThe facilities are a bit vintage and can benefit from some repairs and upgrades.
The best thing about Carmel Garden Inn is the staff, particularly Curtis and Cynthia. They are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is fantastic also, with different types of frittata every morning. Location is good and within walking distance to the main strip and Carmel beaches.

United StatesThe curtains on the 2 windows that could be opened for fresh air either had no curtain (the bathroom) or sheer curtains and when either window was open, maintenance people outside could see right in. Some short "half" curtains could easily fix that and still give ventilation on hot days.
I loved the privacy of my room with a private courtyard. Parking was easy for guests. It was quaint and cozy. The breakfast offerings are great! Fresh cooked Frittatas each morning as well as other fresh made breads, homemade granola and fruit. Great local coffee too. The location is great! It is walking distance to several nice bakeries and many restaurants and shops. It is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with big trees and rambling sidewalks and roads. The beach is not too far and a great place to watch the sunset on clear evenings.

United StatesThe Inn was very quaint and the bed was so so comfortable. The room was a little small, but that was what I booked no fault of the Carmel Inn. I tried to get a bigger room, but they were booked solid. The Inn was so comfortable that the next day, the size didn't matter because of how comfortable the room is. Ooh I forgot, breakfast was really good too.

The property as a whole is so beautiful and charming. I think our favorite part - besides the spacious rooms, yummy (included) breakfast, and great location - was that our room had its own private patio. The patio was so peaceful and perfect for an early evening drink or coffee in the AM! We hope that we can return sometime in the future, and stay longer than just one night!
