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 reviewNothing
Carpet had been pulled up and concrete floors all through and you could see spots where carpet was pulled.. pool water was dirty and lounge chairs were so decayed when I sat on them they went to the floor. No elevator and people disabilities were not made aware upon making reservations and I just had major back surgery. Parking was dangerously just for compact cars and no one there had a compact car, on the side the only safe parking had warning signs for only 2 hours. The restaurant only had mini snacks not approprotiate for meals. There was no valet or assistance and to get ice I had to go all the way up to the bar to get ice! And no refrigerator or microwave in our room!!!!!!!
Dear Susan, We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered during your stay. From parking, accessibility, and in-room amenities, it’s clear we fell short of expectations. Your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed with our team as we continue working to improve our property and guest experience. Warmly, Marisa Morales Front Desk Supervisor

Hi Van, We’re so happy you felt the groovy vibes at our little beach house! Keeping that vintage charm while restoring the building was definitely intentional, so it’s great to hear it came through.

To try oysters I must buy alcohol due to their rules. I totally do not like it. Barista did not tell me about happy hours, so I read the ad : wines 8$, and pay 16$. Their marketing just promise but do not work.

Details not curated - overall concept could be great, but details rest from the experience - cheap curtain fabrics and execution, outside of the hotel quite dirty, as some examples.

Verified reviewThis hotel is super cute! Rooms are small that comes with more retro places. Everything was clean and well maintained throughout the day. All of the staff could not have been more accommodating. I’m an early riser so TD made more morning coffee sits comfortable. He was attentive to getting the fire pit going and even offered a blanket.
Dear Nicole, Thank you for your feedback, and for taking the time to write about your visit. We're thrilled you enjoyed the retro charm of our hotel and found everything clean and cozy.
