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):
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.
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.).

United StatesWe would have like a place to rinse off our dog after going to the beach. A microwave in the room Would be nice.
The location was excellent. The room was very comfortable. Everyone was very welcoming to us and our dog. The breakfast at Cow Tipper was excellent.

United StatesI would suggest a slight upgrade to the bathroom. Not a deal breaker.
Beautiful place with plenty to do on site or in the surrounding area. Also quiet and relaxing. Fire pits are a huge plus. And the beach is steps away. I would definitely stay again.

United KingdomWe were unlucky with the weather when we came so was harder to enjoy the outdoors. Disappointed that they’d run out of smores sets to use at the fires, so bring some Marshmallows just in case!
Beautiful set up, great facilities for families, lovely atmosphere for quality time … fun games etc. Short walk to the beach. Loved the decor in the rooms, clean and fresh.

United StatesThe only complaint was that our room was upstairs which I didn’t know or didn’t ask. We are in our 70’s capable enough but hard lugging all the bags . The chairs in the room are not very comfortable . The bed however was VERY comfortable.
The property is huge and lovely. The ocean is right across the street (steps away). They offer a pool, game room, and firepits and it was nice to see them being used. The breakfast was very good, not offered free but very reasonable. Lots of choices and is offered in room or in their dining area

United StatesNo screen on the bathroom window which is the only form of ventilation in the bathroom. This ended up letting in a few flies. When the flies died ants invaded to eat them. A few corners here and there were dusty. The comforter cover is a strange fabric, almost like a curtain, starchy woven fabric/burlap. There was borderline too much furniture in the room and no closet which made it hard for us to situate luggage. It would have been nice to have real cups for coffee (rather than paper cups) and wine glasses. There were 3 CO detectors in the room that blinked all night. Our unit had been remodeled at some point but it felt a bit cheaply done. The value was not the best considering we paid $830 for 2 nights at a glorified motel.
Location was fantastic with Leffingwell Landing Park right across the street and the beginning/end of the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk. The grounds are lovely as well with firepits, lawn games, and grassy areas which are great for pets. Loved the high ceilings and side ocean view. We took our morning coffee right across the road and watched the waves roll in!

AustraliaThe staff were friendly and made us feel right at home, and provided us with some great recommendations on where to eat. Cambria is a gorgeous quaint little town situated down the road, but a little too far to be walkable so best to have a car. The fire pits and fairy lights are magical at night, and the property is situated across the road from the beach and reserve. Moonstone beach is beautiful, and filled with natural gems - definitely worth a visit and accessible from the ranch. There are small fridges in each room and a shared ice machine, but also a bigger shared kitchen with a microwave if you want to eat in. Big comfortable beds for a good nights rest before completing our road trip from SF to LA. There is also a pool but we didn't get a chance to use it. Great value, natural setting and just what we needed for a peaceful stopover and great scenery. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

United KingdomThe shower pressure was a little bit off, but other than that, it was all very good!
The ranch is in a beautiful site just by the coast, literally 5min walk from the nearest beach. The grounds are very well taken care of and the decoration is beautiful. Such a nice place to stay if in Cambria - you van either drive 15min to the city or go on a stroll at the boardwalk.
