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 AmericaThe sink was cute but awkward to use, I would have loved to have a bench or chair outside my room to sit on, and a chair inside the room.
Good location - could walk everywhere. Felt clean and safe. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

United States of AmericaConstruction still underway. THe AC in our room only ran at one speed - high. I'm thankful we had it the firat day and night but then it got cold and loud. I feel like this will be fixed once the room's renovations are complete. I think the room was put into use early for spring break week.
Perfect beach Inn appearance. I felt like it was part of a book description. Newly renovated room was charming, clean and crisp. Front desk staff in the evening was wonderful. He's the only one we met.

The location was great but so are a lot of other hotels that are brand new and have a lot of amenities. Dry Dock should not be charging these hotel prices. We are willing to give up amenities for a more affordable price.

The Dry Dock Inn is an amazing place to stay at while vacationing at Carolina Beach. The Inn is located in what I consider a prime area. It's within walking distance to the Boardwalk, the Lake, along with other places to eat. This saved us from having to drive anywhere and not to mention, not having to pay to park. My car never moved until it was time to leave. Check in was a smooth transition being via text. Uploaded my information, paid my refundable security deposit and got my code. Once I arrived I found my parking pass and the room was very clean. It's a cute place and I absolutely love the common area. We spent several hours every day out there enjoying the peace and quiet. The beds were soft, water pressure was amazing. I had the BEST hot shower. The towels, wow, they were the softest I've ever had and trust me, I've traveled all across the USA and have never had towels this soft (they beat the Hilton too). I actually met Cameron and he was so nice and sweet. We felt very welcomed and valued staying here. They would check in on us daily to ensure our needs were being met. I highly recommend this place and I will be back. Thank you Dry Dock Inn for a relaxing no stress stay.

United States of AmericaKids above us was running all day n night. At night the adults pounded the floor all night along with the kids. We contacted the front desk and was told kids will be kids. The 1st night we let it go but we contacted the front desk the 2nd night. Was told quiet time was at 11 which I knew we had contacted early but just wanted to get ahead of it since it had been going all night n day. Clerk came to our room and heard what was going on n told us he would go up there n address it but unfortunately kids would be kids. But if it happened after 11 we could contact him at the number in the binder in our room. We didn't even bother after that just got up early next morning n left. Just didn't think it was fair we paid to stay there and had to deal with unruly guests. I understand kids cause we have 2 ourselves, but under no circumstance would we ever allow them to interrupt other guest like that during our stay any where.
Excellent for the price. Rooms were nice and spacious.

United States of AmericaHad to pay 2xtra deposits. Beyond ridiculous and an unexpected cost. If I had know I would have cancelled my stay! Plus there was a no smoking rule but found an employee smoking around the corner of the building outside of the office! No ICE NO ICE on the property! Seriously for the amount of money I payed for the 1 room hideaway! Why is there no ice on the property? The shower was very slow and no need to adjust the water because the hot water was mildly hot. Idk where the heat was because we only had air conditioning in a 40* night.
