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 reviewThis hotel is well located, especially if you want to enjoy the bike-ability of this area. We brought bikes and the hotel was far enough from town to enjoy a sunset ride along the beach to restaurants but still close enough for an easy ride home after dinner.
Sunset Inn provides simple, clean, comfortable accommodations in close proximity to the beach and also the road and parking lot traffic. We loved this stay and would recommend it for low maintenance travelers that are not in need of a silent retreat and appreciate simple comfort and easy accommodations.

Verified reviewI agree with the other reviewers . It was clean and the owners were friendly
It didn’t live up to what a $500 a night should cost and it wasn’t as advertised. Our room was no bigger than a walk-in closet and was claustrophobic. The “breakfast included “ was nothing more than a donut on a paper plate and orange juice out of a machine. There were other things too like toast, coffee, cereal which you had to take back to your room because there was no common room in which to sit down. Unless you are a walker it was too isolated from the town. We are both elderly and disabled and this was definitely not suitable for the likes of us.

Verified reviewRecently refurbished, great bed (firm like we like it), great pillows, clean, decent sized fridge, all good! Breakfast was basic, nice coffee machine (makes a pretty decent vanilla latte). Golf course restaurant easy 5 minute walk, very good! Old Town area with lots of food and shopping options a 5-min drive. Lots of deer nearby (a Pacific Grove staple).

Verified reviewGreat location within walking distance of Pacific Grove beach point. Also 20-30 min walk to restaurants if you want. 10-15min car drive to aquarium and whale watching (highly recommended, almost guaranteed sightings) Very friendly and helpful staff. Chalets looks great with seating area outside and all usual facilities. Clean and well maintained. The breakfast is basic continental and small seating area outside or outside your chalet room. Also coffee, water and snacks available throughout day.
It’s just a basic breakfast that’s all.
