Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Czech RepublicThe swimming pool was accidentaly out of order in time of our stay, but this is acceptable if there was necessary to change the water in it.
This was one of the best hotel on my road trip from SF to LA. This hotel is aligned with the surf spirit of the Santa Cruz city. Room was clean and enormous big. I was very very satisfied.

United KingdomI stayed twice during my holiday - first time everything was great second time WiFi didn’t work and the window to the back was broken and could be easily opened from the outside - I was so tired that I just wedged a coat hanger in it to keep it closed - I’m sure they would have changed my room if I had told them but I was tired after a long drive - I told them in the morning and they were very apologetic. Also if you want to have a bath ask for a plug at reception as the plug thing in the bath didn’t work anymore.
Great location, affordable, comfortable, lovely staff.

United States of AmericaThe area is sketchy a lot of homeless and illegal activities going on but I didn’t have any issues with anyone or my car being messed with. I did notice there’s a lot of long term people staying at this property and the only thing I would do next time is book upstairs because the people I had above us were up all night the two nights I stayed there. It was horrible and they would run the bath all night that we didn’t have running hot water in both rooms the next day!!! I wish the two bdrm had a kitchenette like the king rooms
I loved the rooms, I booked two rooms since I was traveling with family and I got the two bdrm and both rooms had my family comfortable since we could have our own privacy.

United States of AmericaCame with a full size kitchen, but no pots, pans, or utensils. Maybe we should have realized and brought something? Spent a little more on this place to be able to save money on eating out, but that didn’t work out at all.
Location was perfect, not too busy at night but walking distance to downtown shopping and beach. Hotel was updated and clean. Microwave worked and fridge was a great size.

United States of AmericaThe noise level at the property is pretty high, not much insulation between the rooms (means banging, door opening/closing noises, bathroom noises through the night). People were smoking on the second floor balcony and it looks like there are some updates needed (some of the laminate floor boards had holes and no stopper in the bathtub, for example).
Rooms are modern with ample space, bedroom and kitchen areas were very clean, receptionist was super friendly and even helped with printing out a boarding pass.

Staff was really friendly and Monday thru Thursday the property was really quiet and felt safe. Pool and spa were big and nice.
