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 view was nice sitting on the balcony even though it was on the street side. It was relaxing and my wife and I enjoyed it.
The noise from the street after hours was a bit much but not horrid.

Verified reviewWe got a corner room with a balcony overlooking Cannery Row. It was very lively and busy during the day but with the 10pm ordinance in place the street was completely quiet so best of both worlds if you're there for the aquarium etc.
Honestly everything was lovely. It is an inn and not a hotel so if you like clean and minimal aesthetics this isn't your place. We liked the cornice boards and drapery above the bed.
Dear Laura, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed your corner room and the view of Cannery Row. We appreciate your kind words about our décor and understand that our inn’s style may not suit everyone. We’re happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Verified reviewThe room on the second floor with two queen beds and window to sea and fireplace was exquisite.
The original room we booked did not look like the picture online and was extremely cramped plus had a weird moldy smell. They let us pay to upgrade and that was amazing.
Hi Deborah, While we're sorry to hear about the issues with your initial room, it's fantastic that our team eventually moved you to much-improved accommodations. We trust you enjoyed so much of what Monterey has to offer, and we hope you'll continue to count on us for a luxurious experience when your travels bring you our way!

Verified reviewWe had a corner room that provided a great view of the Cannery Row. It was great to be able to watch the street "wake" up in the morning. Breakfast was simple, but tasty.
Good Morning, Thank you for sharing your experience. A corner room with views of Cannery Row certainly offers a special perspective, and it’s lovely to hear that watching the street come to life added a meaningful touch to your stay. It's also rewarding that our morning meal offered just the right start to your day as well. We look forward to welcoming you back for more moments like these at Spindrift Inn.

Verified reviewThe room was so cute and although it wasn't ocean-facing, it was quiet and very comfy. The morning breakfast service was such a great start to the day and the staff was attentive.
The only thing I would ask is to have a filtered water fill up station on one of the floors so we don't have to use plastic water bottles.
Dear Smart, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for sharing your experience. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your comfortable room and the attentive breakfast service. Your suggestion about adding a filtered water station is appreciated and will be passed along. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Sincerely, Duchess Baird Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe Spindrift is an excellent location. The staff members provide excellent customer service. Ocean views were spectacular.
A bit noisy at times not necessarily the fault of Spindrift but the proximity to businesses. The water pressure could be improved in the bathrooms. It's expensive, extra fees for ocean view rooms.
Dear George, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and sharing your thoughts. We’re glad the location and team made such a positive impression and that you enjoyed the ocean views.
