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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesMattress could have been more comfortable, parking shouldn’t have been an extra charge for hotel guests, the room was actually not in the Victorian building but in an adjacent motel.
Room was comfortable, fireplace was a nice touch, high ceilings were nice, breakfast was delicious.

United StatesHousekeeping is sloppy. My room was”tidied” but pillows were left squashed, there was trash that was never removed from the waste basket and no clean towels were left for us. I called the front desk and a staff member brought us towels which was appreciated.
The location is excellent and is convenient to the aquarium and fisherman’s wharf.

NetherlandsThe room curtains let some light in, for me that was a bit of a problem but the rest of my party could sleep well.
The location is great, very close to restaurants, shops and walking distance to the aquarium. Breakfast was also very nice and they also offer cheese and wine in the evening, that was a big plus for us to try local wines. The staff was all very nice and attentive.

United KingdomOur room seemed to be right next to reception and the main road outside which meant we could hear noise throughout the night. As we only stayed one night we didn’t mind too much however should we have stayed longer we would have asked to change rooms as this would have become bothersome for us.
Great hotel with a lovely feel. The staff were great and very attentive. The rooms were spacious and the addition of the fire was lovely. The wine and cheese evening was a great bonus to our stay. The breakfast had many options which was great.

SwitzerlandIt's a much bigger hotel than appears in photos, with several wings. Thin walls. Expensive parking.
Great location, can easily walk to many places that Monterey offers. Room was very spacious, with very high ceilings and a little fireplace and nice decor that made it feel cosy. Clean and well equipped. Appreciated wine and cheese at tea time. Breakfast was decent.

United KingdomBreakfast was included and it was perfectly adequate but limited in options so if you are staying for several days don't expect too much variety.
Great location approximately half way between the aquarium and fisherman's wharf. Room was very large offering plenty of space for us to unpack for the four day visit. Room was very clean and always kept this way by housekeeping throughout the trip. Wine and cheese in the lobby each afternoon was a nice additional touch.

United KingdomWe felt that the dogs got a better reception from the evening check in. Rest of staff were great - helpful and interested The water in the hotel tastes dreadful and smells of sulphur. Hotel definitely need to provide drinking water in the rooms and to filter all drinking water for tea coffee etc.
The location was great. Rooms were old fashioned, however large and comfortable. Loved the little courtyard and active fireplace (couldn't see carbon monoxide alarm though). Wine and cheese at 5pm was thoughtful and excellent Breakfast omelette was superb and lots of items on offer - very generous.

United StatesWe felt pushed out on the day of check out by the cleaning staff. It was 830 am on the day we were to check out and a staff member keep asking if we were leaving and we said no many times. On our way to collect our last items from the room we found that our room had already been striped and the fridge cleaned out. We’ve never had this happen before and have stayed at the hotel many times in the past. We were very caught off guard.
Amazing breakfast, wine and cheese hour was great, and the staff was fabulous.

United StatesThe 2nd night we had some guests above us that were very noisy. Sounded like they had a child or two that was jumping off the bed and landing loudly on the floor. This was going on around 11:30pm, so was very disturbing as it lasted for 15-20 minutes.
Check-in, house keeping services for extra pillows and for fixing the fireplace, great breakfast, and having a happy hour. Also, having parking underground and proximity to the aquarium and Cannery row.
