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 StatesThe rooms are so nice and comfortable. It definitely has a homey feel. The heated pool was a hit with our family. The location is awesome too, close by restaurants, and 4 min from the beach. I absolutely love this place.

ItalyThe check-in! I’d given more points but I didn’t like the check-in. We arrived at 6pm and there wasn’t anyone. That’s ok, but they should inform before on email or Booking’s chat the instructions for the self check-in! We had to call with our Italian phone number and this means expensive tariff. Every accommodation usually send the instructions one day or some hours before.
The room was beautiful!

United StatesThe only drawback is that there’s nobody there after five and it’s a little difficult to get a hold of them if you lose a key which we shouldn’t have done, but sometimes those things happen
The room was very clean. It was much bigger than I had expected, and the kitchen was fully stocked like a real kitchen, and the staff was very sweet.

United KingdomBed was very soft - everything else was great
Arrived a little late (1900) & had to phone to obtain instructions to get key. We were in room 2 which had a parking space in front. We were kindly treated by a bottle of wine to help us celebrate our anniversary which was a lovely surprise! The shower was in a step over bath which had plenty of hot water. You could hear traffic noise from the nearby highway but it didn’t keep us awake. (Earplugs were provided) We walked to the bar down the road & had a steak sandwiches which were very good. ( Beware everywhere closes by 9pm) There is no breakfast provided but there was a 10% off voucher provided to a place down the road which was ok. Handy 7-11 nearby. Didn’t use the small on site pool.

United StatesOne thing. When in the bed we slept opposite of how the bed was set up. Head at the foot of the bed. Feet at the head of the bed. Something didn't feel right. I'm thinking it is because the hotel is on the side of a hill. Maybe it's at a slant...not sure. But it was a great stay and the beds were very comfortable. Would go back.
Well maintained and taken care of.

United KingdomIt’s located along the 101 where you won’t get a great view and will hear traffic - not a complaint because it was to be expected. They kindly provide ear plugs on your bedside tables should you require.
Very charming, cosy place to stay with a rustic/retro vibe. It’s clear they have thought about your needs and have put a lot of care into making it comfortable and welcoming for guests. A quick walk got us delicious Mexican food at Zorro’s, and the ocean is also easily reached on foot.

We booked the hotel last minute as we were not sure where we would be on our California road trip! This hotel was a great find, I read the excellent reviews and thought will book and we were not disappointed! The rooms were accessible from the carpark, cosy, homely and they thought of everything. Nice coffee, little complimentary touches, makeup station, comfortable bed, fridge, popcorn for film watching! Hotel is so convenient to Pismo beach and getting back on the road. Well done, a great stay!

We really enjoyed the “homey” feeling and they had a ton of extras which we loved! Ex: little cooler for ice, a real coffee maker, coffee cups, fresh bottled water, popcorn and candy. We were so happy here! Would go back a thousand times!
