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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewThe Inn has a lot of charm and history. It’s kept clean and is centrally located. In the morning wild turkeys came to greet while you sipping your complimentary coffee. The grounds are lovely as is the outdoor space while surrounded by nature and singing birds. There is a nice outdoor fire pit for cozy evenings.

Verified reviewHistoric place, yet upgraded and comfortable, walking distance and centrally located to many shops and restaurants. Really enjoyed the suite and two separate balconies.
The cushions on the balcony chairs were dirty.

Verified reviewFront of house is EXCEPTIONAL in every way. I have been staying at Bluebird for several years now (visit 2-3 times/yr) and each visit my booking is treated like a royal arrival. I usually ask to be placed upstairs as I am a very light sleeper - this is arranged each time and with a smile. Appreciate the warmth and welcoming atmosphere. The lobby/main house has an inviting den by a fireplace thats reminiscent of trips to Austria. Just lovely. Very clean rooms, not a thing out of place, showers sparkle, beds comfy good lighting options and a microwave if you need to heat up any leftovers from Indigo Moon next door. ;) Will be back around Christmastime! P.s. Harmony village (in between Cambria and Cuycos) is just down the hwy a few miles - the pottery store is a MUST VISIT! Very cool history with Hearst stopping by with guests on his way back to San Simeon Castle back in the 1910/20s! Great pop in for history nerds.
Everything was excellent, no complaints. Oh! not a “complaint” more of a request? Q-tips for “travel ears” - I might be odd, but my ears “water” so I like to dry em out with a swab clean out every shower/before bed. … Q-tip pkgs in bathroom would be a bonus (easy to forget to bring).

Verified reviewI was in a ground floor room and could hear every footstep from the occupants of the room above me. While I understand older properties may have structural problems, management should avoid putting guests above first floor guests wherever possible if the hotel is not fully occupied. This hotel was clearly not fully occupied.

Verified reviewWe did not partake in any breakfast foods. We do like that it is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.
It was irritating to be “punished” for using a 3rd-party booking. The new policy of charging $30 for checking in prior to 3:00 (only for 3rd party bookings) was quite annoying and set a negative tone for our stay (never an issue before).
Dear Theresa, Thank you for your great review and rating! While we're pleased to see you enjoyed your stay and our convenient location, we regret that you weren't pleased with our early check-in policy. As we mentioned to you personally, we are a small, family-run business and are aiming to recover costs for extreme 3rd-party discounts. Please note that you were still able to check in early without a fee at 3 P.M., which is an hour earlier than our guaranteed check-in time. Thank you again for your feedback!

Verified reviewLocation was great. The property is a bit on the old side, but they have really kept things up, both inside and outside.
I wasn't allowed to check in early. I would understand if they checked with housekeeping, and a room like the one I reserved was not ready, but the guy behind the counter acted ike he did not want to be bothered.
Dear Ted, Thank you for your stellar review and rating! We're pleased to see you enjoyed your stay and the renovations on the property! However, we apologize for the negative experience at check-in. The employee you encountered was still in training for the morning shift and had not yet learned how to check guests in. In addition, a fee is associated with early check-in before 3 P.M. Despite this, we'll address this issue with the staff to ensure they provide better customer service. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Dear Karli, Thank you for your stellar rating and review! We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and our convenient location! However, we regret that the cleanliness of the carpets didn't meet your expectations.

Verified reviewThe location was great. Restaurants and stores were within walking distance.
The cold water was randomly turned off, so we were unable to wash up and flush the toilet. We had to call the front desk twice before the problem was resolved. We also heard persistent and loud noises from the room above. When we approached the front desk about it, they basically told us if we wanted another room, we would have to pay more. (This is after we already paid for two rooms for 3 nights.) They also suggested we plan better next time by requesting a room on the 2nd level.. THERE WILL BE NO NEXT TIME. Their response definitely could have been better.
Dear Shirley, Thank you for your review and rating. While we're pleased to see you enjoyed the location, we regret we did not fully meet your expectations. Again, we apologize for the water issue, as we were working on our irrigation during your stay. However, our staff quickly fixed the issue within 15 minutes of your first call--our maintenance staff was using the restroom and wasn't immediately available upon your first call. Regarding your request to move upstairs after your first night's stay, we were unable to accommodate you due to other guests having already made requests to have upstairs rooms before their arrival. That would have been extremely unfair for us to negate their request to accommodate yours; if the tables were turned, we are sure you would not be pleased about not receiving an upstairs room after you preemptively let us know your request. In order to try to make your stay more comfortable, we offered you our Deluxe King rooms, which came at an upgraded cost and have no rooms above them. You declined this offer--we did our best to assist you. We wish you well!
