How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Rooms were easy to get to (not too big of property) & facilities well kept. Kitchen had everything I needed to accommodate a few days stay. Very friendly & responsive staff. No problems with parking.

Nothing
The suite was great with two bedrooms and living space with a kitchen. We used the outside grill several times on the patio as the kids swam in the pool. Breakfast is served every morning with inside and outside eating area. The location is a nice neighborhood and just a short drive to LEGOLAND and the Carlsbad Village. Extremely close to the strawberry fields and the Carlsbad Lagoon. We had our best vacation staying here and we will go back the next time we are in Carlsbad. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating, they made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable.

When I called to reschedule my arrival, a day before my scheduled time, due to a death in the family, I got charged an additional $20 per night for the 2 nights, as the rate was $169 (the original rate was $149). The last day I asked to extend my stay 1 more night and I got charge $186 for the last 2 days. I was under the impression that I was going to get charged $169 for all 3 days. I would've liked for them to had given me a heads up on the charges for the last 2 days. Very unsatisfied about the charges, and non consideration for the reason behind my change of date. My husband's father had passed away on April 29th, and arrangements had to be made. Also, I did forget to tell the desk, that the kitchen table had a wobbly leg.
The staff was very attentive. Upon arrival we were offered an upgrade without additional cost. The engineer was very helpful and his response was immediate, when we reported a problem with the t.v volume. On our last night, Weds 5/19 8pm, we had trouble printing a document at the business center and the guys at the desk went above and beyond to get our document printed. I wish I had asked for their names as they were great.

There were bugs all over the room tiny little white things. Not fruit flies but something similar. We cleaned them up and they immediately returned. The neighbor's dog barked, scratched the door like crazy, and ran around both nights so we got NO sleep.
The amenities were perfect, the fireplace was lovely.

There is an infestation of bugs on the first floor. They were in the kitchen and bathroom. They were in two different suites on opposite sides of the building. It's unfortunate. If it weren't for the bugs, I would have given a 4 star review. But I will never go back to that hotel location.
Great location & amenities.

Shower and bathroom drains appeared to be blocked. I do not understand how a maid could not have seen this. Drains were so slow that you stood in 4 inches of dirty water in shower. Christmas Day drain sink spewed filth up to sink rim. Although We did get another room no one offered to help us gather things from bathroom which threatened to spew drain water over everything. Several light bulbs out in each room.
Breakfast was good but space was very small so tables did not seem well enough spaced for pandemic
