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 StatesIt took a minute to actually find the motel behind the other buildings.
Spectacular view of the mountains and water! A simple, very clean, room with easy parking. The host was congenial and when I asked gave us a great suggestion for a drive to a beautiful overlook of the spit and islands.

Location, location, location! Aptly named, the Ocean Shores Hotel has one of the best locations in Homer. The view of the ocean, beach, and mountains is incredible. The facilities are a bit older and the rooms are basic, but everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly too! Will definitely return here.

United StatesIt would be great if there was a bicycle rental at or near this area so that guests could get more easily to to the Olde Town and the restaurants. Although they did offer vouchers for can fares.
The Ocean shores was clean and will maintained. The beds were comfortable! A balcony of the room faced the ocean for some great views.

United StatesOn line photos show the building with the view. However, my building way in the back and the view was past the employee housing, and a building with yard stuff and VERY close to the back of a restaurant. As a photographer I picked this due to view that was not.....
It had a nice view if you were in the building it shows on line. The location was central and easy to get around town.

United StatesIt had everything that we needed.
This is not a 5 star resort. Its a basic hotel that is very clean. I mean you can smell the sheets are clean. Its right off the beach. Lots of tide pooling in the morning as it’s off of Bishops Beach. Good price for what it is. You don’t go to Homer to sit in your room. If you have someone that will be room bound go somewhere that has a restaurant and a gift shop. If you are there for the outdoors. This is a safe, clean, good location hotel.
