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 location is right on the beach
The first time we stayed, the room was dirty, and blood on the sheets, the patio door was broken. The second time they put us in an accessible handicap room, the beds were low to the ground, and the wooden bed rails hurt, getting in and out of bed. It was very uncomfortable Check-in was at 4 we didn't get our room till 5 and never got any compensation. Not sure we will go back. it is so expensive to have all those things happen

Verified reviewNot very much at all I’m afraid.
The food was the worst we’ve experienced in the US by some distance. The room was small. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable my kids couldn’t sleep. $1100 for one night - an absolute rip off. And the location was a total waste of time.

Verified reviewHotel is awesome, and has great amenities. The location is amazing, walking distance to everything!
Our room was located on the third floor on the north side next to the parking lot. Every morning we were awoken at 5:00 with trash pick-ups and hotel deliveries. This last 1 -2 hours. There was not a day where we were able to sleep in. Also, they have great outdoor seating with firepits but they are open to the public. This made it very difficult to find seating. Not sure why a resort fee paying customer has to compete with a non resort fee paying person not staying at the hotel.
Rudy, Thank you for your feedback on Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach. We’re glad you enjoyed our amenities, location, and outdoor spaces. We sincerely apologize for the early morning noise and the challenges with public access to seating.

Verified reviewDid not have the breakfast.
We reserved four rooms for our large family and expected a level of service and accommodation consistent with the premium rates we paid. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of that expectation. To begin with, we were checked in significantly later than the standard time, causing undue stress and disruption to our plans. When we were finally able to access our rooms, the quality and condition of the accommodations were sub-par, particularly for the price point. One of the rooms—specifically the Finley room—had a front door that slammed shut every time it was used, and the bathroom door was broken, compromising privacy and convenience. We were also told that we would receive a late check-out to accommodate the delayed check-in, but this was never honored or communicated properly to your staff. This added further inconvenience to what was already a frustrating experience.
Joe, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the delayed check-in, maintenance issues in the room, and the miscommunication regarding your late check-out at Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach. This is not the standard we aim to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our team to address these concerns and improve guest experience. We appreciate your patience and hope to make it right on a future stay. David Morneau, General Manager

Verified reviewWait staff was wonderful. A little short staffed but they worked their tails off.
I didn’t like the music starting at 7 every morning. Our rooms were on the inside pool area and we liked leaving our door open for the ocean sound but when 7am rolled around we’d have to get up and shut the door. Kinda ruined sleeping in in the morning.
