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 AmericaSome staff needs better training, upon my check in the older vallet park person was extremely rude and told us to move our car from the front entrance before we take our luggage out. Noticed some staff members not soo courteous trying to look away for no reason/ some tailgating us when coming back from the pool area, I told my husband to stop and let this guy go. For what to be in front of the piano and continues to talk on his phone. Receptionist from check in was very nice,and housekeepers did a decent job with cleaning and replacing toiletries. To be fair about Vallet Park staff,they were decent with the exception of this guy.
The location was good, short drive distance from supermarket and restaurants.

United States of AmericaValet driver, said he did not "see" me in the check in list, went to front desk, she too "didn't see my reservation" after searching my emails and bringing up the res, they said I confused them saying my last name - Ortega, when my maiden name is hyphenated before the Ortega. I asked for a bellman- Nope- they don't have them. So, I searched out a bellman's cart and I unloaded my invalid aunt and all our luggage etc myself, a valet attendant did help me take out the electric wheelchair, which I appreciated. Anyway, I was handed wrist bands and cards for the pool towels, which was very strange to me? I was turning 61 this week, not here for Spring Break 2023! 700 plus 20.00 a day for parking, for 3 nights. There's no room service and the restaurant never appeared to be open. Had 3 drinks from the pool bar- $46.00 ! As for the restaurant, I came down at 740 one morning, told they open at 8... asked the "Concierge" for a tea bag, "We don't offer tea bags"- I said- There's a coffee pot in the room, I just need a tea bag- I just needed one tea bag- and was told "Go to McDonalds" I swear- that was his answer. No value shown to guests. At checkout I asked the front desk for a bellman cart-because, as stated, no bell staff, and was told,- "They are by the elevators" they weren't, As I searched for it, I found one, behind them. Beds were made daily, towels not restocked and the broken toilet paper dispenser, not repaired, as a matter of fact, we actually found the toilet paper - on the floor after maid service, right in the center of the bathroom floor, how sanitary huh! I would not stay there again, you just don't feel valued as a guest there, at all.
I liked the view, when I was outside, there really isn't a great view from the room, I appreciated a lower floor as requested because my companion is handicapped, most of the car jockey's were nice and helpful, most, not all.

United States of AmericaI was under the impression that there was a free breakfast with the reservation. The hotel restaurant is not somewhere that I would ever want to visit again. The telephone in the room did not work, and I asked to have it fixed twice and it was not done.
The property had a very nice store, it was pretty and seemed to be in a decent location. We were able to reach the most other places we wanted to go fairly quickly.

United States of AmericaDidn't like that we had to drive 20-30 mins for food and shopping. Nothing in walking distance. Didn't like that even if you park your own vehicle you still had to pay 20 a day parking. Food and drinks in the hotel were very expensive but good. Was hard to get enough towels from housekeeping.
The place was nice and clean. Right on the beach plus had a pool and outside bar.

United States of AmericaUpon arrival had to have our room change the view we were given was the air conditioner units for an eight day stay. In the second room There was something in the carpet that caused our lower legs and feet to itch. Carpet felt damp to the bare feet we had to wear shoes at all times in the room and showers. Hopefully we didn't bring anything home. Gift shop lady was not welcoming. Stood over me while I looked around. She helped me change my mind about spending money in store. I felt pressured and profiled.
Hotel was nice in a great location on the beach next door the bar was great with friendly service. Pool and hot tub on the premises was great. Staff was very friendly and very helpful.

United States of Americaupon checking in, I almost got charged again for the entire stay when being charged for the room damage deposit even though I paid through booking.com. luckily I looked at the pin pad before inserting my card. then on check out, the girl at the front desk actually charged me the full stay AGAIN. it did get promptly reversed, but I am glad I checked my bank account on a gut feeling before calling an Uber for the airport. i don’t understand how this happens and why in the world I would be charged at check out anyway. employee was not apologetic and acted as though I was being irrational but you would too if you got charged another 1.4k for nothing. i guess just writing this as a warning to everyone check your bank app before during and after hotel stays and check that pin pad before you insert a card!!
Location is perfect. The pool deck area is wonderful as well.
