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 StatesWe were expecting a deluxe king room, and while we did get a king-size bed, the room itself felt small and was located right at the top of the stairs where passersby could look into our room, so we didn't really get to enjoy the "ocean views" we paid for since we had to keep the curtains closed for privacy.
Beautiful location, right on the waterfront. Walking distance to State Street and all the shopping and restaurants in the area.

CanadaThe staff did not seem overly friendly anytime we interacted with them at the desk. We were enjoying a drink by the fireplace outfront and being respectful, and they came out at 11pm promptly with no warning and turned the fire places off. They didn't ask us to leave though, and again didn't give warning or ask how long we may be. Why they didn't just let us finish our drinks prior to turning off the fire still baffles me. They were there all night and could have just waited to see us leave.
Great location. Right across from the beach and pier. Well kept resort grounds and facilities, and very charming. A bit older feeling but we liked that about it. Just around the corner from some GREAT restaurants and bars.

United StatesThe room was antiquated and definitely needs a rehab and freshen up. The reefer was so noisy we had to unplug it to get any sleep. The drapes did not close properly for privacy becuase they were broken. Very small room for the price. No continental breakfast offered, not even bread or baked goods.
The location was right by the beach. Excellent views. The staff was friendly as well and the valet parking was easy to use.

United KingdomShame no breakfast included - but not really a negative just something which would have made it perfect!
Gorgeous room, bed amazingly comfortable. Right on the sea front by the boardwalk Love the little shop and the free hot chocolate before bed, and the guitarist who plays on a Saturday and Friday in the front desk lobby, makes it feel homely.

United StatesThere was no microwave in our room, and our tv wouldn’t connect to WI-FI so we were kind of stuck watching whatever was on cable. Also the bed was not comfortable at all and I’m pretty good at sleeping on uncomfy beds, this one just wasn’t it to be honest.
The location was amazing, I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the rooms. It might be outdated to some but I found it quite charming. Everything was very clean and the staff was impeccable, would definitely book again

United States1.) The floor was disgusting - filthy. 2.) We were shocked at the price of valet parking. The cost of parking - plus the tip to get the car every time you need it. Very inconvenient and the costs really adds up! 2.) It was sad that parents of 3 little girls allowed them to run around the complex screaming at 8am. Thats a bit early for others who are on vacation to relax. It went on for almost an hour - even when I went outside and asked that they stop - the kids kept running up and down the stairs all around upstairs screaming. Lots of fun for them - not for the guests. This is not a knock on the hotel - by the time they got to the parents, they were getting ready to depart for breakfast. It would be great if families with kids were in buildings separate from adult only guests. Hotel Milo is huge - they could easily do this and meet all guests needs!
We had a 2nd floor with ocean view - it was lovely! It was great that our pup was welcomed. The location was great - with lots of very good restaurants nearby. The grounds were beautiful!

United StatesIf we had to get our keys fixed to get into the room it was a really far walk from the pool to the lobby and you had to walk outside along the street.
Super cute and clean!! Right across the street from the water.

United StatesWe didn't like having our room right in front of the pool , we can hear everyone until 10pm. Suggestion, maybe only put people over in that area that travel with children. One of the days our room didn't get cleaned, we had to ask for more towels, cups and creamer for coffee.
I liked how close to the beach the hotel is, I liked the firepits out front of hotel , we sat out there on our last evening. I would like an upstairs room next time we visit and not so close to the pool where we hear everything. I liked that we could get beach chairs from hotel and sit on the beach. We always like eating at Chad's cafe.

United StatesFamilies with kids were very noisy both days, I know it wasn't the hotels fault but they were rude. Maybe the hotel can communicate to families better, to keep the noise down before 8 am.
Hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant, I asked for an early check in and they were able to accommodate me. Beds were comfortable! Great location right in the middle of the marina and the pier and easy walk to restaurants.
