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 staff are fantastic. We arrived very tired after a long flight from London and a traffic lengthened drive from LAX and the parking lot was full so the member of staff moved her car so that we could park and get the kids straight into bed (they were already asleep!) my daughter hurt her hand at breakfast and the staff were, again, fantastic. They went over and above to make sure she was ok and really helped. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good. Location is really good, close enough to walk to the beach (and the county fair), and the town looks lovely. We’ll definitely be back one day!
Corridors a little dated and tired, but this is nitpicking!

Verified reviewMicrowave and fridge in room. Nice seating area for breakfast.
When sitting up in bed leaning on headboard the bed kept rolling away from the wall. Only lamp one side of double bed and that didn’t work. Great to have microwave and fridge in room but the coffee machine was high up on top of microwave which was difficult to reach and dangerous lifting down hot drinks. Couldn’t use mirror in room as microwave and coffee machine were in front of it. No bin in room beside coffee machine and microwave, there was only a bin in the bathroom.

Verified reviewThe property was clean, well maintained, easy to navigate, and had very friendly staff that were able to keep things running smoothly even during a power outage that hit the entire block. They had good breakfast variety and the atrium they served it in was so pretty.
The only thing we didn’t like was the bed. It wasn’t terribly uncomfortable but it wasn’t great either. Plus, it was incredibly noisy/unstable. Any movement on it whatsoever made an incredibly loud squeaking/thudding noise and almost felt like it was going to break just from climbing in it or turning over while lying in it.
Dear Megan, Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear that you appreciated the cleanliness, maintenance, and easy navigation of our property, as well as the friendliness of our staff who managed the power outage so well. It's great to know you enjoyed our breakfast variety and the atrium. However, we are genuinely sorry that the bed in your room was not up to par and caused discomfort with its noise and instability. That is certainly not the standard we aim for. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better, and quieter, night's sleep in the future! Best Wishes, Aimee Front Desk Clocktower Inn

Pillows too hard, small room and bathroom, needed to ask for more towels and coffee cups. Did not have adequate parking in the lot; had to park on the street for two nights. TV screen too small.

Verified reviewI knew going in that the hotel had a good location but didn't realize how good it was until I was there, it is a 8 minute walk to the ocean and on the other side you are Downtown but at the end of it, not in the middle so it is still quiet.
