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 KingdomThe pool was closed which wasn’t mentioned when we booked and the main restaurant was closed in the evening but bar food was available . You do need a car as there no public transport to get into main Carmel ( a ten min drive max ).
If you get a room overlooking the Pacific you’ll love it . Bathrooms a little tired but the main rooms are really nice and beds really comfy.

United Statesour unit was a timeshare and in DIRE needs of upgrades. one sink handle in the lower bathroom didn’t work, a drawer was missing a handle upstairs, and the mattresses were pretty soft but they told us all those units are getting remodels in Feb so once that’s done this will be back to a primo spot to stay near Big Sur and Carmel
stunning relaxing vacation…spacious and serene. super happy with our two story townhouse and full kitchen it was perfect for 4 nights to have coffee and breakfast in and just a few fabulous meals out. fireplace was fun on the day we got rained in and we never felt cramped, very homey. loved the outdoor hot tub and jacuzzi in our room. we had great ocean views

United StatesI was a little disappointed with dinner. When I made a reservation, I was asked what the occasion was, if any. It just so happened to be my lady’s birthday. I mentioned that in the reservation’s notes section. Nothing ever happens. I understand it’s not the kind of restaurant that sings at your table. But some recognition would have been nice, especially since I was asked on the reservation form online. In addition to that, I ordered the Cioppino and I was disappointed to find either pieces of shell or squid beaks after biting into a ring and tentacles dominated entree. I was sad to see a absence of crab and an abundance of cheaper seafood. The cioppino I had was barely edible due to the concern of eating more beak or shell and most of it went into the trash after leaving the restaurant. Other than that, lunch and cocktails were terrific.
The experience was great. If I were to give it an overall grade the Hyatt would receive a solid A. The views were great, the staff was helpful and attentive. We had a wonderful time.

GermanyRestaurant can´t be booked through the concierge, only via an external app and along with anybody else. Thus, though hotel guests we never got in.
The room "Horizon" was great and well equipped, the third bed, a sleep sofa, not comfortable. We would come back here.

United StatesThere was a bit of communication issue around payment because they did not actually charge in advance, as disclosed. We also had to remind them both times to comp the breakfast charges, even after confirming it at check in. We also had housekeeping attempt to clean the room based on a 10am checkout vs our 12pm checkout. Just annoying as we were not prepared for someone to walk onto the room unannounced.
I loved that my Booking.com reservation included breakfast at the restaurant on location and a 12pm checkout. It was a real treat. The views were phenomenal.
