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.).

See above.
Breakfast was ok, pastries were very fresh. I would have preferred a card on the tray for the next day’s order, for the option to change my selections. I liked the proximity to the shops and beach~ very walkable. However, the location on Beach St. was too noisy in the mornings, and for that reason I would choose a different location next time away from Beach.

Our room and balcony was facing a main thoroughfare to the beach, so it was a little busy and noisy. If you prefer quiet and privacy, select a room facing the courtyard.
The complimentary coffee was good. The location was fabulous for exploring both the beach and downtown shops. Good restaurants within short walking distance. Our room was good-sized, making it comfortable for two.

....can't think of a thing!
Fantastic place! I stayed during the Concours D'Elegance and the room has huge compared to what I normally can get for the price. Lovely details like branded glassware, coffee in the room was good. Very comfy bed and great pillows. Modern bathroom. Great staff who helped out a lot. AND PARKING - for this event, that's worth its weight on gold!

- • Solo traveller
- • Standard King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The room had extremely thin walls that made sleep nearly impossible due to constant noise from neighboring guests. I found a large cockroach in the room, which was shocking and disgusting - I should have taken a picture but was too stunned to think clearly at the moment. Most disappointing was the complete lack of follow-up from management despite reporting these serious issues, and the front desk staff member at checkout didn't even acknowledge the problems I had reported, forcing me to bring them up myself after she ignored my voicemail and booking.com message. I was told the manager would reach out, I haven't heard anything.
The location is beautiful and convenient for exploring the Monterey Peninsula. The check-in process was smooth and the property itself has potential in a nice setting.

We got assigned a noisy ground-floor ADA room off parking lot with no view, not upper level with view that we booked. When I asked about getting the room we reserved, staff said they could help if you booked directly, but because we booked through Booking.com they wouldn't move us. They also told us they couldn't guarantee parking because the hotel was full, even though it's included in price on booking.com. Woken up at 7am on a Saturday by parking lot noise.
Location in town good (though room location noisy) & croissant was nice.

Thin walls. People next to me had a party in their room every night. Gas fireplace is charming, however pilot light makes the room warm. I’ve never seen a gas fireplace with a pilot that has an actual flame. Room 22 faces the street, so you can’t leave the doors open for air. There’s a steady stream of people walking by. The one window, in the bathroom, was stuck shut so opening it wasn’t an option. The room was incredibly clean but there was sand on the floor, which was surprising since everything else is immaculate.

The only thing that could have been better is the price.
The staff throughout our stay were absolutely wonderful. They were very warm and courteous. We felt welcomed, so much so that I'm looking forward to return as soon as my schedule will allow. I've already recommended your property to others. In short, we were well pleased. Thank you.
