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.).

AustraliaThe bed had a funny smell to it, similar to Parmesan cheese. The bathroom was a little small and the room was a little noisey next to the highway but earplugs were supplied! Or if you have noise cancelling headphones, they did the trick.
The staff were excellent, really helpful and accomodating. Spacious room to store all of our stuff, nice little free breakfast and beach access was super close to the property.

United KingdomIt was noisy, both because it is on the Hwy and because the walls are not insulated for noise of neighbouring rooms (but the Hotel do provide complimentary ear plugs!) It was cold at night and the air conditioning system in the room did not work in terms of emanating warm air.
The location was very good and the staff was very polite. Good coffee is available all the time at the reception and also complimentary breakfast.

United StatesI was somewhat concerned about security given the busy street. It seemed like it would be really easy for someone nefarious to break into the first floor rooms. Would have loved to sleep with the back window open but felt hesitant to do that. It is also a bit noisy on the front of the building close to the street. Next time I would be sure to book a second floor room.
The hotel was charming, very comfortable, and location ideal. The person who checked us in at the front desk was delightful and everything was ready for us. We arrived just in time for sunset and were easily able to dash down the adjacent steps to the beach. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. Landscaping on the property is lush and gorgeous.

United StatesOcean view costs more but the view was blocked by a house under construction which seems like the room should be cheaper. The room is also very small.
Being near the ocean and restaurants was nice. The staff gave us complimentary wine.

United StatesThis is a nice motel, well kept and well run, nothing fancy. You're paying for the location in Laguna Beach. Our room had a nice large balcony with views of the sunset and ocean, but a row of houses blocks views of the beach or shoreline but the beach is just a few minutes' walk away.

United StatesThe rooms were not typical hotel rooms, ours you could see all the way through and the large window in the bathroom was.. different. But the staff seems to be doing everything they can to make up for the strangeness
Great location and price for the area, which is pretty expensive. The rooms were a little odd and all unique. The staff was amazing and very kind, also incredibly young.

United StatesTraffic outside the inn, old building so you could hear movement from the room beneath us, was a bit noisy but didn’t bother us - they also provided ear plugs. We were offered complimentary wine delivery to our room - would have been a really nice touch but they never showed up.
Loved the location with easy beach access. Was on the main road but a few minutes drive from the center of town. Loved the onsite parking, ocean view suite had a spectacular view. Bed was comfortable! Location and view were excellent!

United KingdomThe rooms probably need a little bit of tlc and definitely need better sound proofing as we could clearly hear our neighbours chatting (amongst other things!).
The staff were super friendly and efficient. The bed and bedding were super comfy. The main Laguna shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance, as are the beaches and Heisler Park. The best restaurant in Laguna (in my opinion), Selannes, is just across the road!
