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.).

PolandThe restaurant is a bit overpriced and was often empty apart from breakfast and lunch. Nevertheless, the food was very good.
An excellent and exceptionally comfortable hotel in Santa Monica. You live next to the park, right by the ocean in a very quiet part of the city, and at the same time close to the pier, restaurants and cafés. The rooms are spacious fresh and very cleanIn. In our opinion, the best hotel in Santa Monica. The staff is very polite and professional. We hope to return here again.

United StatesThe only thing I would of liked would have been more access to ice. An ice machine available to guest would have been great. I had to call room service everytime I needed more ice, lol! Other than that, I love this hotel.
I really loved the furnishings in the room. Everything was so clean and beautiful. The ocean was right across the street which gave the hotel such a beautiful setting which complimented the ambiance.

United KingdomIt was quite noisy at night. It’s a small hotel with rooms facing each other. There were parties every night I was there but I could only hear it in the living room. Couldn’t hear it in the bedroom. The bedroom though was facing the road and the windows weren’t sound proof.
The most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. location was spot on. just across the road and a bridge from the beach. There is a wonderful view from the terrace . Food was lovely but the staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for you.

United StatesLeft my phone charger on the outlet by the night stand when we checked out. When I went back to the room to retrieve it. It was nowhere to be found. Good thing it was only a phone charger so did not make a big fuss out of it. But what if it was a valuable item? Scary.
All the other staff from the front desk, to the concierge were very courteous and helpful. Over all had a wonderful stay.

United StatesThis Santa Monica gem was everything we hoped for on our long weekend girls trip. Our suite was amazing and immaculately clean. The entire staff were so kind and attentive despite the added stress of their job during COVID. Enjoyed the little extras the hotel offered including morning outdoor yoga and bikes. The location was also perfect: quiet and right across from a beach access point. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely worth every penny! Hope to return again!
