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.).

IrelandThe location is slightly on the edge of town. It’s about a 15 min walk to the pier area . It’s a nice walk so it didn’t bother us but be aware if this when booking. The property is quite sneaky how it’s advertising the property so bear in mind two things: 1. Location 2. Motel Format 3 It is a good price if you just need a room 4. Pool was not in operation
Property is in motel format which I was not aware of when booking. However it is clean and kept well. I only met one member of staff who was the girl at check in and check out. I can’t say much else except it was good price and provided a room for the night on our travel

AustraliaUnfortunately I could hear every footstep from anyone in the floor above. In addition, there were constant maintenance works outside and parking (whilst available) was extremely tight and I've no doubt cars have been hit.
The room was comfortable enough with friendly, informative and welcoming check in/out process. The location is great with just a short walk from the marina.

United StatesThe first thing I didn't like is that someone was given our same room from the front desk and given key access to our room the second night we were staying there. A woman walked in, and luckily, my husband met her at the door. The good and bad in that is luckily we were there, so nothing got stolen. The bad thing is, they could have walked into an intimate moment, and that's not professional of the staff to give out our room; that should have been logged as booked! The second thing I did not like is that they only gave you 1 1/2 toilet paper rolls in the bathroom, and it was super thin toilet paper. The third thing I didn't like was that the cafe was no longer open there and that would have been nice to know beforehand. The last thing I didn't like is that my husband went to the front desk and ask the lady if she had any change to break some bills because the soda machine wasn't taking our dollars and she said " no, there should be water in your room." My husband informed her we didn't have any, and he'd buy one if it's available, and the woman looked irritated and gave him two water bottles. Just a little hospitality note, be kind to your guests and smile.
I like the room, it was very spacious and clean. The outside was cute and maintained.

United StatesI booked it on Sunday, the day before our arrival. The next day on our way down is when I saw the very, VERY disappointing message from the property that their pool and hot tub were closed from late Jan to May 31st for much needed repairs. Too late now to cancel and find another place to stay. The days we were in Monterey the weather was absolutely gorgeous with sunny skies and comfortable temperatures. We were very disappointed as we were looking forward to spending most of our down time while at the property in the pool and the hot tub. It would have been awesome if there was a way for the property to advertise that the pool and hot tub were not available during our stay. That way we could have chosen another property for this particular stay. The next time we come to Monterey and we want to stay at the Monterey Bay Lodge I will surely call down to make sure that the portions of their property that are most important to us are actually available.
The property is very nice. We've stayed here before. It's location\distance from the old wharf, the aquarium and cannery row was acceptable. Due to circumstances beyond our control decisions for what we did for my wife's vacation had to be altered at the last minute. A week long trip through Arizona and Utah now had to be canceled and shortened to two nights in Monterey. So we were looking forward to staying here again. Despite our last visit their restaurant was (and apparently still is) under renovations we enjoyed their pool and hot tub and social area immensely. This area had us excited to return.

We rented E-bikes at Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bikeshop on Cannery Row and had wonderful day of riding the 17-Mile Trail. That nite, had tacos and good beer at Dust Bowl Brewery near motel!
