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 reviewThe price for Labor Day weekend was excellent, especially considering the location to beach and pier.
The shower water pressure was basically non existent.

Verified reviewNothing.
Nothing. The room was nasty. Beds had sand in the blankets. Toilet and shower were not cleaned. Pillow had hair and lint on the front and backside. Dirty foot prints on the wall beside the bed. Strong odor in the room. Wanted a refund and the front desk clerk was not accommodating. Our view was a trailer/camper park. It was not sea view. We ended up packing up and going home. Very disappointing.

Verified reviewThe hotel seems to have been remodeled but the room was all dirty. The shower had DIRT everywhere and bugs. Mini fridge didn't work well. When I got there the receptionist was vaping while checking me in which was not professional at all. The blankets had old stains on them and the bathroom barely had towels.
We are so very sorry that your experience was horrible while staying with us. We take cleanliness and customer service VERY seriously, and we apologize that you experienced those issues. We will address your concerns and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Verified reviewLocation and price are good. This was our second stay in 2 years. Overall, a good value.
No early check in. Often no one at front desk. No maid service for our 2-day stay. One bath towel, one floor mat, one packet of coffee had to last for 2 days.
We apologize that your stay was not a pleasant one with us. We are unable to offer early check in, as we are short staffed and the employees we have are doing the best they can. Someone is always on the property to assist you, just call the front desk. Often times the front desk has to clean the rooms when housekeeping doesn't show up, so that is why someone is not on the desk as often as we would like. We hope you stay with us again, and we thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Verified reviewLocation was convenient and within walking distance of beach, pier, restaurants and shopping. Cold AC.
Room could have been cleaner when we checked in. Had to go get our own fresh towels and more toilet paper during our stay. Upon checking in, we were told housekeeping would come daily. They only came one time during our 5 night stay and that was after my husband went to the main office to complain. The shower water pressure was laughable.

Verified reviewThe facility is walkable to the beach.
This was my fourth year coming to this facility and have never been treated this way at Oceanview Inn in the past. The floors were filthy. We got no room service on Friday; just excuses. My friend and I are older ladies and do not go out in places that are unfamiliar at night, but she agreed to go down to the office to at least get towels and coffee. On the way out of our door, she tripped on the poorly constructed threshold and injured her foot. We had to cut our trip short, leaving on Saturday morning to return home. We now know after she saw an orthopedic doctor yesterday that she broke her foot. Despite contacting booking.com, there has been a complete lack of communication and refusal to refund the third night when, through no fault of our own, we were not able to stay.
I'm very sorry to hear that you did not have a pleasant stay with us and your expectations were not met. Our goal is to provide excellent customer service and outstanding accommodations. We apologize for not accomplishing our goal during your stay. We hope you return to give us the opportunity to treat you like the valued guest that you are.

I was to get Oceanview room, as I booked mths in advance, but instead got ground floor room. Very disappointed.
Thank you for your review. As we try to give people the rooms they want, when you book through a 3rd party it can not be guaranteed. The best way to guarantee the room you want is to call us directly.

Verified reviewAnother awesome visit with OVI! The staff was very pleasant. The Inn's outside property area was so beautiful with the flowers. The room was lovely, spacious and clean. The bed and sheets MY word; I wish I knew where they got them from!!! They were so soft and comfy we didnt even wanna get out the bed!!! 😃We love it here. We never have any problems when we visit. We had a very pleasant visit as usual here at OVI!!! We will definitely be booking here again.
The AC! My daughter and I have asthma and we need cold rooms. The room didn't get cold enough for me and I think it was because of the long curtains that hang above the unit. The air just shot right up behind the curtains. Maybe shorter curtains will work so the air won't go in that direction but is able to flow throughout the room better. This did not effect our stay though. The room was nice and cool however as I stated due to asthma issues I normally need a very cold room. We will still book here but will just bring our fans next time.
Thank you for your review. We are so sorry about the AC issue and will definitely take your suggestion under advisement.
