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 StatesClogged bathroom sink, slow slow tub drain, clogged room sink (was not important to us but still. For one night of stay to have my daughter wait for plumber before she could bathe was off putting. I had to call plumbers back because for some reason they left the bath drain pulled out and I needed their help to put back in which sucked up more time etc. Not the relaxing experience I'd hoped for. However, in all fairness, it wasn't the end of the world.
Staff was genuinely friendly and helpful.

United StatesFood was above average but not remarkable. Rooms are very spacious and comfy but somewhat a bit dated. We stayed in Room 426 which we found quite noisy once you stood on the balcony. When we asked to move, we were told that the 400s are the most sought after but it's hard to believe as they are directly above the Newport Coast Drive, which is almost a highway. Views of the ocean are beautiful but you won't get any sunset there. Based on the map, only rooms 408-414 & 401-406, are looking directly out West.
The Pelican Hill is in a class of its own. The grounds are absolutely magnificent and its roman inspired architecture is "exotic". One feels transported to another time and place. Service was absolutely amazing. Everybody was super nice, room service was impeccable. The pool and the sunset views from the restaurant are very special.

NetherlandsI had a family medical emergency, contact both Pelican Hill and Bookings on multiple occasions to try to get a voucher for a later date or a refund. The resort literally did not get back to Bookings or myself at all on the messages sent. When you want to book and pay for a service there is a response in 5 minutes. When you need help, everyone runs for the hills. Totally unacceptable behavior.
Nothing.

United StatesIt is a huge, but very dated and worn resort. Rooms are expansive, but haven't been updated forever. They are doing their best without updating, but that means it shouldn't be so expensive.
