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 StatesNothing Major. I do wish they had EV chargers but you can use the ones across the street as they are Chargepoint and are open to the public. So you can just use those for now.
Great location and a really lovely design. The bedding was nice, and the location was pretty quiet. The pool also looked nice, but I went in March and didn't use it. However, it's easy to get Lyft/Uber to downtown SLO and close to Paso Robles if you are going to do wine. The waters were a nice touch and it was great.

United StatesThe room needed some updates. Paint job in the bathroom was a little sloppy. The mattress was incredibly firm, even hard. I wondered if sleeping on the floor would be the same experience. The room wasn't that clean, either. Food garbage from the last guest was left in my room and it looked like the guest had also wiped a booger on the bathroom door.
I've stayed here regularly over the past four years, back when it was called "The Kinney." Great location, near some nice restaurants, with easy access to the 101. The restaurant inside is a bonus, although I preferred it when it was called "Leroy's."

United StatesThe Schoolyard restaurant could’ve been better it was quite not my favorite, and tasted like cardboard. Their food seemed microwaved.
The breakfast was not very good at all.. the Schoolyard yesterday was kinda just microwaved food and it was nothing special for the prices they were charging. The best thing was the very comfortable beds and the curtains really made the room as dark as i like which was amazing! Avoid the Schoolyard restaurant at all costs.. it was not delicious at all. Would rather eat cardboard. Staff was nice. Beds were comfy. Very close to downtown SLO about 7$-8$ to uber there. 15 min drive to pismo and avila. Great located hotel.

United StatesWish there were chargers for electric vehicles in parking lot.
Staff were friendly and helpful, and helped us secure our bags in the office since we arrived a while before check-in time. The pool was nice, the location is good and not too far from town center so we were able to walk back and forth. (We like to walk, so not everyone may feel the same). Room was clean and beds were comfy.

United StatesI would've liked a rooftop patio, or at the very least some nicer outdoor space in the sun with views of the mountains. The pool area is in the shade and kinda grimy with the hotel hovering over it, and the front area seating is all for the restaurant so there's no real place to sit with a nice view and relax.
I liked the location, the staff was super friendly, the games were fun, and they had a nice little courtyard.

United StatesThe pool closed too early and the jets on the hot tub didn't work. Also, Leroy's, the attached restaurant and bar closes at 10pm! I mean come on it's a bar haha. Just wish it stayed up later. All in all my dislikes were very minor and honestly not really an issue but I had to write something...
I really liked our room, it had such a cool vibe with all the surfing photos lining the wall as well as the ceiling. But, I will say, my favorite thing about the hotel, to me, was the shower. I gotta have high water pressure and I felt like I was being sprayed down by a fire hose.
