Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesLove the property. Love the location. Beautiful view. The only thing that would make it so much better is comfortable furniture in the bungalow. The sofa is really hard on the back. Could not get comfortable. A couple lazy boy chairs would be awesome. A freezer for ice cream and a microwave to heat up food. Hot water for a hot bath. Could not get it past Luke warm. And maybe a TV in the bedroom since the sofa is so uncomfortable. But definitely a beautiful place to stay and the outdoor furniture and fire pit are wonderful 😊.

United StatesI had not seen this was an RV park, with many close by neighbors and a pier for fishing as a vie. When a cottage by the sea description cones to mind, it was not a prefabricated modern space ( although unique, spacious and clean), or up on a hill with parking kits surrounding the cottage- facility. There were no utensils or paper towels, but was grateful there was a microwave, refrigerator ( mini) and coffee, tea kettle appliances and coffee snd tea offered. I was prepared with some paper plates and bowls as well as plastic silverware from take out, and a few napkins. For one night and to meet local family, this was handy in a pinch. Just not the type if cottage or facility I envisioned… Not much privacy, there are rules on noise at night, but it is an RV park, kids going around streets with electric scooters without helmets, and no space in the tiny trashcans for any of the used water bottles, plates or packaging trash from foods brought. For the price, at least some utensils or paper towels should have been part of the provided amenities. Description in Booking.com needs to specify more detail as you how a row of pre fabricated spaces that looked like converted space containers decorated minimalist style are what guests will encounter. On the plus side, check in staff at the welcoming booth ( called welcoming center”, were friendly and helpful. And the toiletries shampoo, hand and body soap and gel and conditioner were great quality. Not sure why the bed was about 3 feet high- requiring help to get on it!
Accessibility and comfort. Clean.

United StatesAt checkin, we weren’t told how to get in the room so had to go back down the hill to be told it was the last digits of our phone number. Wish we had been told of the easy way to communicate with the office to get quick answers when we checked in. However, the following day, we were texted and asked if things were ok which was a nice touch and easy way to get any needed info.
The place was very modern, clean and quiet, and provided a variety of nice extra touches, (hot water pot, coffee system, and dog basket and bed). Furniture was comfortable and outdoor seating on beautiful large deck was just right.

United StatesI didn't like that the cottage did not have beach access as promoted in the booking.com listing. It said " Beach front." It was not. Also in another promotion, It said, " With direct access to the beach, all you need is sunscreen." There was no direct access. The beach is a short drive away, but in no way was there direct access.
The premium cottage was spacious, contemporary, and very clean. The best part was the deck with gorgeous ocean views, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit.

United StatesIt could’ve used a little microwave and bigger, trash cans. It also could’ve been cleaned. A little bit more of the floors were kind of dirty under the bed was horrible. I turned on the fan and dust bunny flew everywhere from underneath the bed. Other than that it was a beautiful little cabin.
It was a great location beautiful views, cute little cottage just needed to be cleaned more

United StatesWe stayed in one of the lower cabins and it was amazing. There was a big patio for us to store our paddle boards, a gas burning fire pit and the most beautiful view of Avila beach!! the cabin itself was wonderful! Very comfortable bed, with a ceiling, fan and nice shades to darken the windows. It had a great little kitchen area, and a very nice sitting area. It felt like our own little house.  We will definitely be staying here again!!

United StatesOur ocean view was more of a peek a boo side view. I was looking more at the entrance to the nuclear Diablo Canyon Power Plant. I would have requested on of the cottages above their store those looked like they had a view looking right at the beach. Overall I didn't really dislike anything though, this is a great place to stay!
I loved that I could walk to the dog beach or the pier . At night a brisk walk to the pier was so nice. There is a great place at the pier to rent paddle board or kayaks and more than one fish place to eat at. I liked that flying flags was so dog friendly with a potty station close by, trash area and their lookout which had sitting areas, and a great view to sit and relax. the staff was so nice and helpful whenever we needed additional towels or had a question. The private fire place was nice for making smores and the dog washing station after a day at the beach was perfect. I would walk to the store/bathroom area every morning to use their microwave and get hot water for my tea.
