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 StatesIt was not flower season. I would like more food options.
I loved the kid pool and arcade, It gave my two kids something to do. We also hung out at the quiet pool for a bit and I was able to get a drink at the bar there. The views are amazing, being able to swim and watch the sun set.

United KingdomBuffet options were a joke, was $28 for dried up scramble egg, vegan sausage, cold potatoes and stale bread/waffles. We also ordered room service which had a 16% surcharge on it that came with no cutlery and when asked where the cutlery was they didn’t care. I then had to go down to the restaurant to get some which they didn’t want to hand out so they he room charge surcharge should have been removed but they didn’t agree.
If you’re going to Legoland this is an ideal spot. Room was big and spacious but equally we paid for that.

United StatesThe fragrance in the lobby was so off putting. Very strong. I wished there was an actual restaurant. The dining is small and in the lobby. Trying to get breakfast in the morning was a cluster. So many people and kids overwhelming the space. They don’t do room service unless you order from Karl Strauss. The menu you get when you scan the QR code in the room was not the menu they had in the restaurant. The soap/shampoo/body wash in the bathroom is also very strong. Rosemary isn’t my favorite but I would have preferred something more neutral.
There was a problem with inventory when we checked in. I had reserved a premium King with balcony. They didn’t have it so got an upgrade to a suite which was nice. Just wish it had a balcony and not faced a parking lot. But nice to have the extra space. The cabanas were first come first serve and free. Nice to sit and watch the sunset. The kids pool and splash area was great. Loved having the activities center and arcade. If you’re going to Legoland the location is ideal.

United StatesThe food is overpriced and underwhelming. The young gentlemen and staff that served me were great but it was below average and expensive.
The lobby is nice. Love the fire pits outside to gather with family (although not enough of them when busy). Love the heated pool and that it's the "quiet" pool. My kids are grown so we like the adult like feel. The grounds are nice and the beds comfortable. Beautiful views and close to freeway and beaches

United StatesDid not know parking was an extra $32/ night! For a $300 room I think parking should be included. They have a sign at the front desk saying $25 off any food & beverage. They told me I didn't have to do or say anything, charging to the room, the $25 discount would automatically be deducted. It was not. I had to call the hotel & ask about it. They apologized & said it should show up in a few days. I'll bet most people miss this. It was New Years Eve and there was someone giving 1/4 glass samples of champagne. Nice. Went back for a 2nd one & the server asked if I had already gotten one. Yes, I said, so she said after that I had to buy it at the bar. Fair enough. But next morning checking out, the desk person asked me if I had enjoyed the "free champagne" the night before. I felt that was a stretch. Yes - I was not charged for a 1/4 cup sample... Out at the pool area a guest was playing music on their own portable phone speaker. I rather enjoyed it, but I found it strange that the hotel didn't have their own music playing. I also wondered why they would allow this - but like I said, I was enjoying it.
Comfortable bed, spacious, clean room, great pool & jacuzzi. Pool view of ocean is glorious.

United StatesYou have to pay for parking. They give you a $25 credit for it and charge $32. The breakfast is not free, for the options provided, it's pretty expensive. The room cleaning Crew knocked on our door 3 times on the day we had to check out between 10 -11, even though the check out time is 11, and in spite of we telling them that we will check out at 11. It was as though they wanted us gone. Didn't leave a good taste in the mouth and it was unwelcoming. Shows there's no coordination or it was by design.
The location is great, walkable from Legoland. The front desk staff were great. The room itself was big with a balcony and sitting area outside. The beds were comfortable. It was neat and clean.

United StatesThe room was extremely HOT to the point where it was uncomfortable to sleep and had to leave the balcony door open. I sent a message to facilities to come and fix the AC and they didn't come. There's also no microwave in the suite. The brewery nextdoor has amazing food But I ordered for pickup to SAVE THE 23% room delivery service and the people at the restaurant were extremely upset for whatever reason that I didn't get the room service and decided to pick up the order myself. The parking is underground and if you have a lifted truck past 7'0" it won't fit due to the Parking lot having pipes all over the ceiling that are lower than the 7" FYI.
Love that there's a walkway into Legoland only about a 5 min walk from the hotel, there's a bar inside the hotel with good drinks, there's 2 pools and a small splash pad for the kids in the "neighboring hotel" and there's a total of 3 hot tubs and some fire pits which you can make s'mores in. The beds are really comfy but the lay out of the room should be different for the 2 bedroom suites. You also get a $25 a day credit which you can use for breakfast at the hotel or alcohol which was nice, but you need to use it that day or you loose it.
