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 like everything
Friendly staff and the front desk was excellent and super helpful with directions about the area, especially to my wife because she had to find me after running the Big Sur Marathon, which was also coviniently located less than block from the bus boarding area to the race. The free breakfast was also excellent. I will come to this hotel from now on. Extra: Centrally located within walking distance to all shops and restaurants in Carmel

United StatesWalls are thin, noisy… One thing that needs to be addressed is the tub— needs new non-stick, and the stability bar is not in the right place. It should be on the wall. Both of us almost slipped in the showers of two separate rooms.
The rooms were nicely remodeled, and the bathroom was amply supplied. Also, plenty of lighting/outlets. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomOverall would recommend but a few minor negatives: Rooms were single-glazed with gap under the door, so loud when people walked by to get to other rooms (though in a quiet area so the outside/street noise was very low). Main noise issue was the building had very loud plumbing - so very loud when neighbours used their bathrooms or when the tank was filling (not sure which). Not sure it had air-con which would be an issue mid-summer. Very dodgy Wifi. Breakfast was a bit basic, and in a cramped room; we didn't bother with it as there is an amazing bakery in the village. Parking was limited; we managed to find a space fairly easily every day, but can imagine the road parking would be tricky in peak season.
Perfect location in Carmel-by-the-sea: right next to all the shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. Room was comfortable and well appointed; average size, good TV, comfy bed. We were lucky and had patio chairs right outside our room (60).

United StatesWe had a family with children above us who seemed to be running constantly from the moment we got there straight through to the morning. The noise was very loud and unfortunately my husband has misophonia and this made it nearly impossible for him to rest after our long drive. The parking was tight although we eventually managed to find a spot. The room was quite small for four adults and luggage. The room only had a fan for cooling down. The fridge was very small and oddly shaped inside for leftover boxes and drinks.
Very close to downtown for walking the shops and seeing the local businesses and restaurants. Hot and cold breakfast options were good to get you going for the day. The outside of the hotel was charming and the half doors for the rooms were an unusual experience.

United StatesThe only thing is that breakfast is available at 8 which was after we normally left for the day. Not a big deal for us as we found a nice little bakery downtown, but could be an inconvenience if someone prefers to eat at the hotel.

United StatesFloors in between is thin. Every step of the people above your room if you are staying downstairs is really loud. While if you are a guest staying above a room, be considerate of others as well.
While writing this review, i'm currently staying at this hotel and found the room to be quite nice. The location is within walking distance to the center, which was very convenient for exploring the area. However, I have one major complaint that significantly impacted my experience. The noise from the people walking above our room was extremely disruptive. I found it difficult to ignore the continuous footsteps, which echoed loudly downstairs. This made it challenging, especially with a 1-year-old baby who kept waking up due to the noise. If you are sensitive to noise or easily disturbed by footsteps, this hotel may not be the best choice for you. Despite the pleasant room and convenient location, the disruptive noise greatly affected the overall experience. I hope the hotel management can address this issue to ensure a more peaceful stay for future guests. Ps. I actually called the reception at 22:36 to call the room above us to let them know they are disrupting us with their footsteps, which they did really call them. And now 22:48 is quiet. I'm gonna edit this if they make a noise again. 😑😏
