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 lobby / office area.
This place lacks maintenance and feels abandoned. The room had an unpleasant smell, the carpet was dirty, some towels were stained, the patio was dusty, the pool was full of leaves. On top of that they charged us 400$ per night! Steer clear and find a proper place.
Good Morning, Mr. Bilal I am very sorry you had an unpleasant experience here at Contenta Inn. Our pool Is serviced and cleaned twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. We do take all maintenance issues very serious and I wish you would have spoken to me here at the property with any issues or complaints you had. Again, I am very sorry and hope you will try us again when you come down to Carmel Valley. Sincerely, Kala Morrison

Verified reviewIt was very close to downtown – we walked to dinner. The owner/manager was very nice and helpful – they have a really nice lobby area where they provided coffee and pastries in the morning along with filtered water and anything else you might need.
It was all good.
Thank you Sloan! See you next time!

Verified reviewNice layout of room and facility.
The pet fee is horrendous. No notice that it would be so excessive.
Yes, there is a fee for pets so we can make sure that we can spend the extra time to prepare our rooms properly for arriving guests. And here is the cool thing... our pet fee is good for your entire stay, so the longer you stay, the better the value. Many hotels charge you a pet fee per night. We like to take care of our guests by making it a one-time expense, regardless of how long they stay.

Verified reviewThe front desk (Miriam) was very hospitable and helpful. In fact, she helped me with my car issue. Without her help, I would’ve driven back to LA with an unsafe car. Thank you so much to Miriam!!!
