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 AmericaVery mismatched, the room looked like they just put random pieces of furniture and items to fill the room. - no amenities including ice machine - hours were very limited so was unable to pay cash for deposit due to them not opening until 8am and needed to leave way before that - I moved the couch over and found food fragments and dirt on the floor so they do not move furniture when cleaning All in all, it was just very ghetto and was overpriced for what I got.
The bed was comfortable The jacuzzi tub was outdated but did the job Netflix was cool

I liked the jet spa tub and the 2 bedroom Lil apartment we got. I would love to bring my grandkids back. Very comfortable and friendly even if looks aren't the best when you first get there. Give it a chance we had a blast.

United States of AmericaMy room was a bit small, the TV remote didn't work well(I had trouble changing the channels), pretty noisy- the walls are so thin, I could hear the people in the next room talking and a lot of door slamming, and the room smelled a little musty or mildewy.
Staff was nice, working and quiet heat/ac unit, good location, working microwave and mini fridge, easy parking, clean.

IndiaCould not communicate at all with the morning property manager, since her reactions were snub to everything and the standard response to almost everything was "it's a no work". Not even water was provided in the room and I was asked to get it myself from a nearby grocery store.
The location is the biggest plus point here, with access to beach, groceries, restaurants, amtrak station and more. We had originally planned to stay in Calabasas and ended up booking this last minute due to hurricane hilary and it served it's purpose as a safe place.

United States of AmericaOf the 5 electrical outlets, not one recharged my phone. I even bought a new charger, but still couldn't charge the phone. So, i turned off the phone to preserve what little time was left, in case of an emergency. No phone in the room. The bed was too soft (for me), and one side of the bed sagged. I couldn't sleep on my right side, 'cause I thought I'd roll off the bed.
Bathroom was good, although the mirror was placed oddly. Not over the sink, but one the side. It was hard to put make-up on.

United States of AmericaOk. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WORKING ICE MACHINE! Travelers need their ice! The office did provide ice from behind the counter but not on the 2nd morning. An easy run to the store down the street would have been an easy solution (and, finally someone did just that); put some hooks behind the bathroom door so folks can hang their robes/toiletry bags; sweep the private patio...there was a cigarette butt laying there; I did not care for the toilet and tub being in the same area, but realize that can't be helped. Very disappointed that the staff were NOT FRIENDLY on days 2 and 3 of my stay. Downright surly, in fact. Not helpful regarding the ice situation. Perhaps because it's a small place they felt rushed and were "wearing several hats": front desk, cleaning rooms, doing breakfast, I don't know but I expect "service with a smile" when I'm paying my money! Donna was great on Day One (Sunday) and so was Dario who was very helpful and respectful. Finally, on my last day....MY CREDIT CARD WAS NOT REVERSED FOR THE $150 DEPOSIT I HAD TO PUT DOWN UPON CHECKING IN. I had been told that I would "get it back" upon check out and that did not happen. In fact, 3 days later I am still waiting for the charges to be reversed. Not cool.
There were quite a few things I liked. The room had windows in the bathroom and main room that opened for fresh air; nice mini fridge; comfy bed and pillows; quiet AC; plenty of outlets (and close to the bed); cute shelves for storage; good breakfast choices; outdoor seating; private patio area (but missing table and chairs in Room 19 which Dario promptly corrected!); automatic bathroom light upon entering; automatic outside light when it was dark; plenty of light switches; mirror in main room and bathroom. Last, but not least, LOVED THE SOUND OF THE TRAIN WHISTLES! Overall, a charming vibe with beautiful flora around the property

United States of AmericaFront desk didn’t speak English. Couldn’t answer any of our questions. Got there at 2:15 for check in. They said our room wasn’t ready yet, so we sat till 3 and was taken to our room. We watched they never touched that room. Breakfast was the smallest Continental breakfast I’ve ever seen. In a.m. police were everywhere there, something about a tenant, kinda unnerving. Much farther to beach than led to believe. 1/2 hour walk. Many TV wires were hanging down the wall, come on you can do better than that
Buildings looked pretty nice on outside. Help was nice

United States of AmericaNo shelf space in bathroom. Parking lot is a little tight and a lot of cars park along the street so visibility exiting the lot isn't great.
Staff were very nice. Room was very clean. Nicely stocked with decent sized mini fridge. Like 5 minute drive to beach. Large room. This is an older property and some furnishings are pretty dated (if that's important to you, it's not to me) but they are updating, we got a brand new mattress our 2nd day there, as did lots of other rooms and saw new furniture going into other rooms too.
