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 StatesDidn’t go into the water because of seaweed.
Just as described- European charm with simplicity and class. Family friendly hotel. Staff were so kind and helpful. Other guest very pleasant. Police officer/security made us feel safe (mother daughter alone). Restaurant, pool and cabana very nice. We loved the walking path and the beach. Will return-great location.

NetherlandsSome features are outdated, little rough around the edges in the room, and would have preferred a stand in shower. But I would stay here again for the combination of value and comfort.
Overall I thought our stay here was really nice. Great pool, a gym with plenty of options, location was unbeatable. Spacious and comfy room. Good wifi for video calls. Fantastic AC

United StatesThis hotel is so well located ,the main reason was that it was a beachfront but I couldn’t enjoy the ocean at all because it was full of algae and pretty smelly . Nothing to do against nature. But overall , this hotel is so outdated . Floors and rooms are smelly , had it light up a scented candle every day to disguise the odor . The hotel has no life inside . The gym is located in the lower lobby which is was kinda creepy sensation that area there . Needless to say how old are all of the equipment and so secluded, no view , no inspiring . You can tell everything that is not working at that placed because it looks abandoned. The staff is pretty nice though. I got a previous room that was super uncomfortable for me , including their king size bed doesn’t looks like king size , more like queen and they gave a different one with a better distribution, still a small bed not what I paid for . At the end when I was checking out , I noticed they were charging me for a meal I never had and it took for ever to do the new bill
The bed is really comfortable.

RomaniaThe room was nice and spacious, and the view was fenomenal. The hotel felt a little bit outdated, and in need of a renvation, but it was still a pleasant experience and this was just a minor thing. We would recommend this stay.

United StatesThe bar and restaurants were overpriced and food/drinks were just average.
The location was perfect. Very large size pool and beach front location. Also across the street from Bal Harbour shopping mall with nice shopping and happening restaruants. The rooms were very large with kitchenette and 2 walk-in closets. Although our room had not been renovated, like most other rooms at the hotel, it was very nice, clean with beach and pool view. The rooms had connecting doors, which is great for families with children. On-site parking was easily available and significantly cheaper than other beach hotels. I would definitely stay at the SeaView again!

United StatesVery clean, polite staff, excellent housekeeping and very comfortable bed! Our king size standard room with terrace was large and quiet!The coffee shop was convenient and Jen and Mr A, the cook, were lovely, kind people who made you feel very welcome! This was our third visit and by far the best! The location of the Sea View Hotel opposite the Bal Harbor Shops with its variety of restaurants is an added bonus!

NorwayI think, as an European, that it is exhausting that tips are expected all the time in this hotels as in others, so one has to have cash and change and give it to people all the time. Room service ladies expect tips everyday. We forgot first day and then the cleaning lady didn’t give us more coffee/tea or shampoo. That was clear message! Otherwise very nice staff in reception, bar, swimming pool and beach🥰. Plumbing could be better and the “stairs” in the pool are worn out and yellow so they could change them
I liked that we could just make us tea/coffee in the room and the lovely view of city and bay from our balcony

United StatesThe hotel is outdated, old furniture, stained bathrooms, they still use super old magnetic access cards that demagnetize the second they touch your phone. If you toss the cards in your bag with your phone it wont work. We had to go to the reception each time to change cards. The location is great if you want to stay on the beach or use the pool but if you want to explore the area the traffic to and from Bal Harbour is insane. Nothing close to the area and most restaurants will close at 9PM.
The rooms were clean and spacious Great location if you plan to stay on the beach and by the swimming pool Staff is helpful for the most part

United StatesUnfortunately, there is a big building under construction next door so during weekdays it was very noisy in the pool area. The noise wasn’t perceivable indoors or in the bedroom. The staff gave us complimentary breakfast vouchers to make up for it—they tried their best to make up for a situation that wasn’t their fault or could control, and we appreciated it. Hopefully it’ll be short lasting since it’s a nice play to stay.
Location is perfect - right by the beach with a very nice, big swimming pool. Our room had a beautiful view of the bay. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and accommodating. It was very pleasant and relaxing to stay at a traditional hotel that doesn’t feel corporate and overcrowded.
