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 States*Our room was advertised as a "remodeled" upgrade room. It was far from it. The bathroom had new tile but an older tub. It was painted but not really an "upgrade" as such. We paid high dollars for the unit and felt it was not really an upgrade. The floor was dirty and needed washing. Our room was totally missed in room service one day!
Pool was good, though crowded. But, enjoyed by the families. Our room location was great. We were in a quieter corner room with patio and it was pleasant.

United StatesI am a native of Santa Barbara, so for me it isn't an issue, but for people from out of the area, not having at least a map of the area in the room may be a problem, especially since some of the employees are not familiar with directions of how to get to different parts of the City. Yes, there are lots of brochures, but personal knowledge of the staff would be helpful too. Also, there were no directions for how to use the television and the TV system only had streaming for the local channel, and no directions how to get to live programming. The system is quite confusing. I ordered a bloody mary to take to my room, and it was terrilble -- too much ice, hardly any mix and watered down to have almost no taste, plus the price was horrendous ($18.00) for what I received, As a result of that experience, I chose not to eat at the restaurant for, perhaps an erroneous assumption, that the food would be overpriced and not good.
I had an issue with the refrigerator and the maintenance person was there quickly and fixed the problem.

United StatesHowever my family got the WORST room even though they stayed for 3 nights. It was small and dark with a small deck out front. You almost gave them the very worst room - with no deck - but changed to this one because I begged. and their bathroom was not very clean.
Pool was great. My room was great.

United StatesOne of our rooms was not updated. There was a stain on the carpet. The room seemed a bit tired. Our balcony was on a corner with another balcony and we could hear the people from the other room and their conversations. We did not want to go on the balcony when they were there because we were right on top of each other. The other room our family had was updated and in a better location - wished we had a room like that.
The pool and courtyard looked lovely. The room was spacious. The bathroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable.

United StatesFor a non-smoking hotel, we constantly smelled cigarette and marijuana smoke coming from adjoining rooms and patios. Also many noisy and unattended children ran wild, screaming around the courtyard and pool area from the morning until after 9pm when the pool closed.
We really enjoyed the beautiful courtyard area and the pool. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the private patio.

United StatesThe second and third floor was a little confusing. And the elevator was hard to find, we had an 80 year old who was on the second floor she’s not good w stairs. Other than that it was great
We loved the layout and the personal space in the form of a balcony or patio. Very calming. One of our rooms had a very bad musty odor we left the doors open and house keeping brought a spray over that helped a little. The restaurant was great. Everyone was very very friendly and service was fantastic. Over all we would stay again. This was our second trip to the hotel. The pizza and hamburgers were great!

United KingdomThe bar did not have any local wines in stock by the glass, you had to purchase a whole bottle. The bar area was nice though with fire pits and heaters for cooler evenings.
The pool area was lovely and the pool was a perfect temperature. The family suite was very large and consisted of two adjoining rooms with a shared balcony. The beds were large and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, if a little expensive.
