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 reviewVery convenient location. Nice room, very large bathroom
Our room faced Ocean Avenue and was very loud. Remembered Carmel as a sleepy town after 9 pm so didn’t think we would hear much noise, but couldn’t get to sleep until after midnight because of the street noise (people and cars). Also, king bed sagged towards the middle.

Verified reviewHave you ever wanted to stay at a hotel that would throw a party you aren’t invited to and put it right next to your window? If so, come on over to the Pine Inn in quaint and quiet Camel! You will be pleased to know that the hotel’s special event space is literally right next to your window if you are in room 9 or one of the first rooms on the left in the main building. The hotel has no AC, so you will choose between sweltering in your room with the windows closed to block out some of the sound or opening them to feel comfortable, but unable to sleep. Do ensure to bring a noise machine so you can enjoy your stay at the Pine Inn. I hope my warning helps some people because I would have never stayed at the Pine Inn had I known the hotel would throw a party right next to my window. Or that it helps people who would like something like that - no judgement. Some other things to note: There was also a mysterious sticky fluid that saturated the carpet in front of our door. The bath tub was so beat up they put something that looked like a door mat in it to cover it up. It was really gross to stand on.
Thank you for your recent stay with us. We apologize that your stay was less than stellar due to the noise from our event area. The city of Carmel has a strict policy not allow any type of noise or music past 9pm, that goes for our indoor event space as well. We will share your feedback with our staff and again, we are very sorry that your stay with us did not meet your expectations. Thank you.

Hands down the noisiest hotel I've ever stayed at! Walls must have been built before there was known sound barrier materials. Windows clearly not double pane! Heard every conversation from folks walking by. Bathroom pre1920's! Won't recommend, won't ever return.
