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.).

The location was amazing, walking to beach and restaurants/bars. Very quiet and quaint. Staff was friendly. Coffee and danishes served in the morning. WIFI connection was great.

United StatesA bit too expensive, given the season?
I loved this little motel. It offers cottage rooms very well kept and romantic. The locations is perfect (a few steps from the beach and a few steps from Carmel's city center. It is close to restaurants, shops and bars. The personell is super nice and we appreciated the coffees and cokies in the morning. The internet worked well, the bed was very confy and the bathroom clean and neat. I would go back

BrazilLast year, the breakfast was a little bit more sofisticated. With different options we could choose from and also a waffle option. This year we haven't seen the same and I grabbed a croissant that was cold and seemed old.
We love the green lantern inn. Stayed last year and would stay again.

United StatesPillows could’ve been bigger and more comfortable. Even though the continental breakfast was nice, there could’ve been a little more. (Like maybe fruit and yogurt??)
The Green Lantern Inn is a great place to stay & is walking distance to lots of Carmel shops and restaurants. It’s an older Inn, but is well maintained & updated, still holding to the vintage style. Our cottage was small but very clean and comfortable. The cottages and grounds feel like a story-book garden with lush greenery and flowers as well as trickling water fountains. The pastries and coffee offered in the common area, by the office are a nice touch. The Inn staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We enjoyed our 2 day getaway at Green Lantern Inn. So quaint! I highly recommend it.

United StatesThe area is fairly expensive and this hotel cost a little above what I would've expected, for the amenities and furnishings provided.
Location was great and walkable, very close to the beach and there was parking available. The cottages were cozy and private and the outdoor spaces on the lot were pretty. There was breakfast and drinks in the lobby and in a side shed, and the staff were super friendly.
