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 StatesI had a "city view" which was more economical. But it was very noisy because the room overlooked the busy freeway, even late at night. I'll have to think about ataying in the "water view"and pay more money to get a night's rest. I think they charged me the wrong rate, but I didn't catch it in time.
I liked the room. Luis was very helpful but I thnk they charged me the wrong rate. Didn't see it til I left the property.

United StatesThe room was okay, smaller than expected. The bathroom was not attractive, needed upgrading. The mini fridge did not work, and the replacement worked only for one night. The exterior of the building needs power washing.
Nice view, friendly front desk staff, pleasant lobby. The rooms facing the water are quiet. Nice landscaping.

United Statesthe restaurant was closed, no staff to run it and same with the bar. would have been nice not to have to go somewhere else. by the way, if you're a bartender, they need one.
it seemed to be an older room but kept very clean. It had a comfortable feel. Enrique was very informative, and his choice for dinner was spot on. z the best area but not the worst. they had a short open walk path a long the water and a couple docks, wish I would have packed a pole. Did I mention they had a couple nice picnic tables but beware of all the ducks and ducklings. all in all, great place , good staff easy access any direction.

CanadaHot Tub was not functioning like expected (low power jets). We also planned on having dinner in house on our first night but staff did not show so both the bar and restaurant was not open. On our second night the bar was open but very understaffed and service was marginal. In fairness this was hotel's fault, not the single bartender that was working. She had to look after at least 30 patrons on her own. Also, we were warned several times that the area had a bad reputation for break-ins to vehicles so that did not make us feel comfortable. Is there not security watching client's vehicles?
Price was reasonable for what we got

The waterfront balcony was an unexpected gem, with beautiful views and (mostly) peaceful atmosphere. The hotel bar had wine by the glass that was pleasant.

United StatesBreakfast was supposed to be a buffet, however, when i think of a buffet I imagine several different options. This buffet had typical continental breakfast options like cold cereal and fruit, an unappetizing pan of gritty looking eggs that I'm assuming were powdered, and a pan of grey sausage patties. We ended up walking a half mile down the road to Starbucks. The bathroom was in need of some love. There were several floor tiles that were broken or coming out of the floor, and it looks like grout repairs were attempted but they just look sloppy and unprofessional. There's no door or curtain on half the shower, so the floor ends up covered in water by the time you're done showering. The fire sprinkler in the bathroom was very rusty. The pool/hot tub area, while clean, is outdoors with no canopy. We wanted to enjoy the pool and hot tub, but it was raining and cold out, so it wasn't very comfortable to be out there. The location of the hotel is not within reasonable walking distance of any shops or restaurants (other than Starbucks and a Ramen place). If you don't like driving in the city and prefer to walk everywhere, this is not the place to stay. It's located in an industrial type area, and doesn't feel particularly safe. Spend the extra few bucks to get a room with a water view. The other side of the hotel looks out onto the parking lot, a graffitied overpass, a busy freeway, and train tracks.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The water view was pretty, and location next to the water front walking trail provided a great opportunity for some much needed exercise after being stuck in the car for 4 hours. The small pool area was clean, and the hot tub temperature was good. For those with the interest, there is a very large cannabis dispensary located right across the street.
