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 reviewGreat location. Views right over the beach from our room. Close to some good coffee places within walking distance. Quiet at night away from the hustle of downtown. Nice bed very comfy, TV etc good wifi. Plenty of space in room. Good balcony with superb view.
Old fashioned refurb apartments? Not very well refurbished. A bit cold and old and not great attention to detail. Could do with better bathroom wash stuff, that old throw away soap bar is really not good, and the body wash is really low grade. The shower takes forever to warm up but it does get there but the bathroom felt old and tired as did the superfluous changing room/ wardrobe area. . better/more coffee/snacks and possibly a small hob to cook something on? Although there is a microwave. There was a random frying pan in the multitude of empty kitchen cabinets but we couldn’t work out why. It really wasn’t cheap at £350/$435 a night for the suite so I was expecting a little more bang for my buck. Overall, although there were some cute furnishings, the place gave us a shabby chic vibe which was more shabby than chic.

Verified reviewLocation was convenient. The view point is amazing from behind the hotel. You have to walk out.
Got locked out of the room at 12:30 am. The reception closed at 10 pm and all the four listed “emergency” numbers went answered. Never going to stay here and never going to recommend anyone. Booking.com team was also terrible at helping me out.

Verified reviewThe location is great. Parking is always available. The breakfast is adequate and the rooms are cute and clean though small. The staff is wonderful.
Our third stay here and this time wasn’t as great as the first two. Our first night there was road construction on PCH right outside the hotel. No one slept that night. No apologies or offer of any compensation from the management. Several people were out on the balconies at 1:00 AM for hours watching the road work in disbelief. The hotel also seems to have one room reserved for booking.com. It’s our second time to stay in it. The first time we were only there three days, it was a last minute booking , we had a dog us and it was ok. But for six nights this time it wasn’t,It’s small and dark and the storage is not adequate for two people with only carry on luggage. Also, noisy this time from people partying and couples fighting and smelly from their weed smoke coming in. There’s no one at the desk after 10:00 so no way to get relief from this. 4 out of 6 nights were sleepless. We travel to Laguna twice a year to see our kids and we’re sure we’d found our place but maybe not.

Verified reviewCozy, cute little inn a half block away from a beautiful beach. Great value for a a great location in Laguna. Woke up hearing the waves crashing which was lovely. Staff was super friendly, and such a plus that they are also dog friendly! Bed was a large King in the Junior Suite room, and comfortable. Cozy inn feel. Easy free parking.
It’s right off the main road, so you will be able to hear some noise. The views were ok from the junior suite, but nothing great. Shower pressure was also not great. They could stock the junior suite with silverware as well.
Thank you for your honest review, we are very glad to hear that you had an overall amazing stay! In the past we have stocked our Junior Suite with silverware, but each time we do pieces seem to always go missing. We to see you again very soon! Sincerely, Seaside Laguna Inn

Verified reviewNothing
Dirty; hair in the bathroom floor; misleading: the “view” was of a roof and an inkling of the sea, the bed was atrocious (old, bent, overused), the towels old and used, the soap is a joke, and it is seriously OVERPRICED. 600 dollars for NOTHING to show. Not even a view of the ocean. Funky smell, lights out slide made it hard to sleep. It is one of the three worst hotels I have ever stayed it in my entire life. I regret having paid. It makes me want to never use Booking again.

Verified reviewSeaside Laguna in and suites is in an excellent location. There are a number of great restaurants within walking distance. The beach and the free local trolley bus are also less than a 5 minute walk away. The staff is very warm, friendly and helpful, and complete the family-run hotel vibe. We would stay again!
The view was a bit disappointing. I should have paid more attention to the description that describes it as a "small view of the ocean." The view is partially obstructed by houses located behind the hotel, so you see the ocean between the houses.
