Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaRooms were very small. Had to lug suitcases up steep stairs. No assistance available.
Danish and juice for breakfast set out on a small table. Facility was clean. Located in the heart of town near everything.

United States of AmericaBed could have been a little comfier, maybe an iron & board in the room.
Hôtel and facilities were spotless, staff & cleaning staff were friendly & helpful. Nice little breakfast with fresh coffee, pastries & Orange juice, plus there were tea & coffee facilities in the room. Loved our room with a view, and it was pretty quiet too…great location. We would definitely go back!

Right on the main drag , transportation is expensive in Avalon. You can walk to Descanso Beach and Lovers Cove 1/2 mile each way. Restaurants right there. Bars are super taxed and drinking out is expensive. Most restaurants bars don't list drink prices and tax tourists hard. Byob in Avalon go to Vons deli to eat cheap for lunch. Great place seemingly good rates for the area great location for walking. Botanical gardens a bit of a rip maybe just walk through like you own it.

Staff is amazing. Location is second to none. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This is an amazing hotel with everything at your fingertips and walking distance. Continental breakfast needs to be upgraded a tad bit, but that is not a show stopper. We will be staying here again. 1st class facility, 1st class staff, 100% satisfaction!!!!

United States of AmericaThe bedding and especially the pillows were not comfortable. The pillows were hard, must be very old. The bathrooms are very small. The windows must be original because you can hear everything that’s going outside in the courtyard almost like there’s no barrier. 
The property is really cute 1920s. It’s so charming and a great location. The location is at 10. You can literally walk out onto the boardwalk downtown. You’re centrally located in Avalon bay.

United States of AmericaNo elevator. There’s approximately 15 stairs to get to the lobby area and it’s very hard to get up and down when you’re traveling with heavy luggage. Depending which floor you stay there might be another set of stairs to get to your room as well. If you travel light it shouldn’t be an issue.
Location, location, location! Just a few meters from the beach and right in the middle of restaurants and shopping areas. Although it’s on the main street which can get loud, once you enter the hotel it is very quiet and peaceful. The room was a bit small but I traveled alone so it was perfect for me. Such a wonderful hotel!

United States of AmericaElevator access for those who can't or have a difficulty time with stairs. But with an older building it might not be feasible at this point.
More variety would have been nice. Same offerings of 2 Danish and 3 muffins. Bagels and cream cheese and fresh fruit would be great. Hot chocolate along with coffee and tea selections would be great for kids.

United States of AmericaThe bed had an aging spring mattress that felt like it was due for replacement (although my partner thought it was fine). On Friday and Saturday nights, there is a karaoke bar next to the hotel that creates a lot of noise. The singing isn't too disruptive, but the folks hanging out outside the bar make a lot of noise until midnight-ish.
The chocolate muffins at breakfast were top notch, while other muffins and pastries were average. The staff were excellent, accommodating guest needs and wants to the best of their ability. The location on the beach is unbeatable.
