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 StatesI have allergies to strong perfume smells. My linens were clean and soft but had a very strong smell from either the laundry detergent or fabric softener or both. I will request next time I come if it would be possible to have my linens including blankets washes with no scent products. Not sure it that will be possible but hopefully. Again.. I loved my stay and would highly recommend to others.
The room was fantastic with the most beautiful view! I will definitely stay here again. Can't wait.

United StatesOur room was on the top level and got hot and uncomfortable during the afternoons, Apparently the portable AC unit was broken. The fan from concierge was definitely helpful.
Having a separate living room with chairs, comfortable bed, tv, hot breakfast, and ongoing beverage accessibility was great. The hotel location on the water has excellent views!

United StatesYoshi was the person who took care of us from the minute we arrived until our departure. Actually, she called us earlier in the day to see if we needed anything before our arrival. In all ways she was excellent as was the property. We use Boooking.com to get the very best special places and Shorelight Inn totally delivered. We did have the room with a balcony overlooking the Bay, and the sunset was magnificent. Our suite was beautifully appointed with a very comfortable queen size bed. We received a nice welcoming cocktail and breakfast was made to order the next day. Our location could not have been better. We will return in the future.

United StatesNothing really. Christina and her staff are very accommodating and keep this place immaculate. If I had to pick something, I would say lounge chairs would have been really on Pink Palace balcony (where there are a few cobwebs. And the cleaning solution (Lysol) was too strong for my taste and it lingered for a bit. Missed a “special” breakfast (maybe know one does that anymore, idk). But what was offered was satisfying.
Perfect location if you want waterfront tranquility! Loved the water view from All of windows/French doors. Spent a lot of time on our balcony, taking in the views, watching all the ducks and dog walkers. But main balcony was the best with its lovely fire pit. Bed was, I think, more comfortable than my own bed! Can’t wait to visit again!

United StatesBathroom is small and the room was warm because it was an unusually warm evening. The AC unit was too noisy but leaving the balcony door open through the night helped a lot.
Fabulous location with great water view and breeze. Right next to public shore path and a block off main downtown area—yet quiet. Very friendly host who was eager to do anything to make our stay enjoyable.

United StatesWish we could have stayed for a longer period of time but our schedule didn't allow that this time.
This is a wonderful inn. It has a lovely screened-in outdoor seating area that overlooks the Carquinez Strait and Bridge. It's a wonderful place to sit back and relax. Our room, the Pink Palace, is nicely decorated and has the most spectacular view of the Carquinez Bridge and Strait. Everything was clean, the bed was so-o-o comfortable, and the sheets were luxurious. Keurig coffeemakers are in the rooms as well as in the entry area. Breakfast is also provided each morning. Chrisina is a warm and welcoming hostess and made our "too-short" stay very enjoyable. She is fun to visit with. This inn is in a perfect location in historic Benicia - right where all of the interesting shops, delicious bakeries and restaurants are. We will definitely be back.
