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...).

United States of AmericaNoise. We could hear every step and voices from the room above us the first night. Fortunately, when we talked to the staff, they were able to keep the room unoccupied our last two nights. I would not want to be there when the hotel is full.
Ocean view. Nicely appointed room. Staff were very accommodating and friendly.

United States of AmericaThe fridge/freezer didn't keep things that cool despite being turned up all the way. The website and confirmation email listed the arrival time as having a 9:00pm cutoff, we arrived around 7:30pm to find the office closed. Keys were left outside of office. An update to their winter hours (7:00pm close) would have been appreciated beforehand.
Beautiful decor, comfortable bed, fireplace, bathroom included spa tub (great value) - exceptional views!

United States of AmericaThe property is older and the ocean weather is rough on the exterior. Our room had a very deep soaking spa tub/shower that for me was difficult to access. The tiles were in need of cleaning. We found a pillowcase behind the desk on the floor and the king bed had been made up with two flat sheets and one pillow case that didn’t fit the oversized pillow. The parking was convenient. It’s not a 5 star hotel but the price was right for the accommodations.
I liked having a balcony to sit on and enjoy the view.

Directly overlooking the river estuary and headlands reserve. Right next to a well stocked market. Walkable location and dog friendly. Not too far up the coast from SFO. Very spacious room and deck. Soaking tub and king bed. Fridge and microwave.

United States of AmericaStaff could have been a bit more helpful. We were looking for nail services and they didn't know. They were polite, however. I also wish they had told us about the Farmers' Market which we saw when we left on Saturday morning. It was right in front of the hotel. We would have like to have gone if we had known about it. They also did not volunteer suggestions about places to visit, i.e. the Beach you reference below. We didn't know about it.
The location where the river flowed into the ocean was spectacular. Many flocks of birds to watch from our private balcony. Room was large, comfortable and clean. The restaurant on the property also had the great view and the food was very good.

United States of AmericaThe bed was just okay. Mattress felt squishy, bed squeaked. The facility was clean but the facade appeared tired and in need of a renovation.
The location, right off Hwy 1, is central to the town. The food market is across the street along with two gas stations and a specialty market with a deli is right next door. The rooms have a balcony overlooking the ocean, fireplace and large walk in shower (plus a microwave, mini fridge, and kcup coffee maker) that made the room feel special. They are pet friendly, and offered complimentary coffee and mini muffins in the lobby in the morning. Vue, a restaurant that shared the parking lot, is open for dinner only and didn't require reservations.

Spectacular location right on the beach. Are unit felt like a tiny apartment and nicely furnished for comfort. Large spacious bathroom good for two people. I love having a microwave and refrigerator so we could make some snacks. Bed was super comfortable and I travel a lot for work so I know hotel beds. Plenty warm in the room as there was a space heater and also thermostat so we were very cozy. Good towels

The location is excellent. Our room had a balcony overlooking the bay. Very pleasant. The room is beautifully decorated, very comfortable chairs, bed. I loved the walk-in shower. The jacuzzi tub was very nice. Gualala is very small, but this hotel is located next to a grocery store and across from a strip mall with an excellent bakery, etc.
