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):
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 prefer my quiet well behaved dogs to loud unruly children. The no dog policy seems a bit unfair. Also the diarrhea sign at the gate as you enter the pool ? Is that really necessary?
Excellent location and view of the ocean ! Enjoy walking to the beach and close to excellent restaurants and cafes. Appreciated the laundry room at very fair prices.

United StatesNo food available. We had pop tarts for breakfast twice but that’s not much especially for a longer stay! Would love to see some kind of breakfast options at a minimum.
Location by the beach, it was quiet, close to shopping in Carlsbad. Loved the adult pool option plus the family pool area. Lots of on-sight fun with corn hole, mini golf, grills, game room.

United StatesThe only thing I have to say is the beds were not comfortable. I slept in the sofa bed and I had to put the mattress on the floor and still felt uncomfortable. The main bedroom had a better mattress but still not comfortable. I hope they can change that, I like to relax and be able to sleep when on vacation.
It’s close to the beach, offers beach chairs, umbrellas and other things that you can take and return. It has an adult pool and family pool in separate areas (this was great as we were on a little getaway without our daughter). Parking was convenient.

United StatesThe facility was going through a major refurbishment, which would have been nice to know when we booked our stay. This meant that trucks were blocking the streets and filling parking spaces, the facility had many detours, and the noise was disruptive during the day.
The ocean and sunset views were very nice. The oceab bluffs were easily accessable.

BelgiumNothing - They were truly wonderful and so kind. We arrived really late and the security guard stayed to make sure we were set. Honestly - it was just a great trip.
It was exceptionally clean, the bed was super comfortable, there was a little patio area to sit outside, and there was a full kitchen. It exceeded our expectations! On top of that, they had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. This went above and beyond.

United Statesthere really isn’t a beach across the street. we walked across the street right when we got to the property and there was a rocky cliff and not much sand. We did have to drive to the beach, but it was only a short drive down the street. Not walkable with beach, chairs, and umbrella. It only takes about five minutes to drive into Carlsbad but there are definitely no food options anywhere within walking distance of the hotel. the benefit to this is that the property is quiet and there is never a problem to come and go as you please and to find parking.
Comfortable, clean and well maintained property. The property is a little older so could use some renovations which I think they are working on. The staff was friendly and lets us borrow beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys and even a life jacket for our kids.
