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 StatesBreakfast could have been better - the food was not amazing. Rooms could use a refresh. Price somewhat high for what it was.
Location was great, can walk to shops and restaurants. Also nice flat strolling area to local beach. Good parking.

United StatesBedroom was quite dusty. We had two men follow us to the gate to get in. I asked if they could use their key and they said they didn’t have one. We waited for them to leave before we entered the gate to go in to our room. I think you need some type of night security because we saw other things in the parking lot that weren’t legal.

Great location as we booked to go whale watching from the harbour, limited amount of places to eat locally without driving but found Harpoon Henry’s on the harbour very good although quite expensive. Great room with two beds and a balcony on the ground floor with good view of the harbour,

United StatesThe breakfast was okay. Would have liked some egg dishes. The clothes hangars were weird- touching them caused them to fall apart.
The room was comfortable and quiet for the most part. Conveniently located near the front desk.

United StatesThe inside is pretty bare bones. There's no art on the walls in the hallways (and the elevator creaks) so it has a sort of empty ghosttown feeling. But, honestly, I think it's worth it for the deal.
This is a great little find on the Harbor. It's close to downtown Dana Point and, from what I can tell, it's the best deal in town. It's also surrounded by the cute harbor shops and restaurants. Beautiful view and very helpful staff.

United KingdomWeather too cold for pool, better luck next visit. I've stayed several times before, the breakfast has gone downhill, now with no eggs, bacon, etc. only cereals and the waffle-machine's Teflon surface did not release the waffle. Many guests had dogs - I didn't like the thought of them having been on the carpet-flooring (next time I'll ask for a non-dog room, if they exist).
This is a great location with good walks around quayside and up hill into the shopping/gallery Del Prado Avenue area. A small beach is nearby, and whale watching trips leave from near the hotel. Restaurants nearby are to suit all pockets, but a couple are very expensive. Good value for money, but parking is $15/day for the week I stayed. Helpful, very friendly staff.

United StatesThe hotel could use a refresh. The faucet in the tub dripped a lot. The walls are thin so we could hear everything from our neighbors.
The best thing about the hotel is the location. We loved walking all around the marina and liked that there were many restaurant choices within walking distance. The room was clean and bed was comfortable.
