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 StatesThe room was $200 but had no pool. I wish I would have read more closely because my kids expect a pool at every hotel. The gym was laughable. One treadmill, one bike, and one cable machine.
Loved that there was a kitchen area with a cooktop, plus an outdoor seating area. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The breakfast had several cereals, waffles, muffins, hard boiled eggs, bread and English muffins, yogurt, juices and 24 hr coffee. If I had one suggestion it would be to add some more protien options.

United StatesThe cleaning was OK. Carpets could have been cleaner, the elevator was grimey, there was garbage left near the elevator that was left more than one day. One utensil in the room was still covered in food and not washed.
The location was very good. The room size was nice. The lobby and breakfast area were fantastic, clean, nicely decorated. Front desk staff is very pleasant.

Proximity to the National parks was great. The room was large and had the things we needed for our weekend getaway to see the caverns. We were even able to grill steaks downstairs which was nice.

CanadaNeeds more lighting especially kitchen. A tube fluorescent light can be moved around which helped but still needs a couple more standing lamps. Not enough crockery and cutlery. 1 bowl, 1 cereal spoon, no teaspoons! Was told that's all they have. Staff did find me another bowl and teaspoon! Mainstay, Buy some more! Breakfast only cold cereal, yogurt, cold hard boiled egg, toast, apples. Perhaps a couple of hot items would make a big improvement. .
Having 24 hr coffee etc! Lovely big room. Long counter for all our bags Bed wonderful Nice outdoor area and inside lounge area.

United StatesWe've stayed here several times. This time we were Charged for 3 days. We left after the first night. The manager would not credit back the 2 nights because we went through booking. Com. I called booking. Com and they talked to the manager. At first she said we stayed 3 days. Then she said since we booked with a 3rd party there was nothing she could do. 🙄 Booking said without her approval they could not credit $308. We had to pay $430 for 1 night! I am filing a dispute.

United StatesThere were not very many channels on the tv. It would have been nice to have Netflix. The lights over the stove also did not work, which was ok because the overhead light was enough. Also, maybe add another treadmill in the fitness center.
The room was very spacious and clean. The full size refrigerator and dishwasher were definitely a bonus too.

United StatesIt was not near anything in the actual town of Carlsbad. No restaurants or anything. And being trapped in the room during a windstorm, let’s just say I’m glad I had gotten some groceries. The air conditioning unit on our floor was malfunctioning (?) and made a horrible noise like a reciprocating saw all day and all night. Which was only drowned out when the wind noise was even louder. When I asked to be moved I was told no by both the front desk and the manager and told that the “hotel was full” (it was not) and that they would not do anything for us. They clearly knew about the problem, discussing it in not so hushed tones over the phone. The towels were incredibly small. Someone previously had stolen the hair dryer and it had not been replaced. The dishes, while nice that they were provided were grimy and had to be washed. The microwave rattled as much as the air conditioning. The bed linens were kind of brown and dingy. I wish I had stayed elsewhere.
It was close to the edge of town where the National Parks are.
