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 main TV had a few problems, needed replaced. Sunroof in shower had towels stuffed in it. I guess to stop leaks. That could cause mold and mildew. No locks on main bathroom doors. No laundry machines.
Size and cleanliness.

CanadaNot overly clean, dated and in need of a paint job just to freshen it up a bit….. would help it appear cleaner I think as our room paint was chipped and dingy which added to the overall unclean/dated appearance. Price point was crazy but understandable given the location. Rooms looked much nicer/ more updated and clean online then what we received and beds were not very comfortable. Sheets did not stay on the bed which drove me crazy as I was constantly having to fix them through the night so as not to be laying on the bare mattress 🥴 Blankets were very thin , there were extras in the closet but also thin and I hate to say it but looked like they came from the thrift store
Great location, front desk guy was awesome! Very friendly and accommodating! Loved our view 😍 The surrounding area was beautiful and loved that we could walk down to the beach, restaurants and shops! Perfect area for us to stay for a few days and not have to rent a car as well as being so close to the airport which was why we chose the area and hotel. Loved that there was a small fridge and microwave

New ZealandThe room was really tired and had a damp smell. I was only there as a layover but I had booked as a treat for myself and it had stains on the carpet and damaged walls, it was quite disappointing. However I only used it to sleep, it was super clean and shower pressure amazing. Staff are fantastic which is why I didn’t make a complaint. I would not return unless the rooms were redecorated because I could get a much more modern room in same area with breakfast for the price I paid. If they charged less I would stay again.
Location amazing and staff brilliant

United StatesVIEWS of ocean, close to beach and lots of cute eateries and shops. We were stuck due to a canceled flight out of LAX. We could have stayed at one of the big boxes, but we like little spots, too. It was nice to be at the beach in January on a sunny 65 degree afternoon. The motel lacks amenities like hairdryers and shampoo/conditioner, but I had my carry-on, so I was set. Nice little balcony. We ate a pizza and took a walk on the beach. Not too pricey, either.

United KingdomUnfortunately there is no lift at the property.
Brilliant ocean view room, two blocks back from the beach. As there is no lift at the property we struggled to get our heavy suitcases up the narrow stairs but the very helpful gentleman who checked us in carried them for us and then helped us down the stairs when we checked out. Despite being on a fairly main road we didn't hear any noise at night. Only ten minutes in a taxi from LAX airport.

United StatesThe couch wasn't particularly comfortable for sitting and street noise was noticeable.
The apartment was quaint and sufficient for the needs of 7 women in Manhattan to watch the AVP. Might choose the apartment with 2 bathrooms next time! The kitchen and bathroom were stocked for 4 guests but extra towels were offered freely. Eddie at the reception desk was extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to eat within a few blocks.
