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...).

United States of AmericaThe heating and refrigerator gave problems but the staff was prompt to sort out the problems. The bed was a little more on the firm side. The room near an active street. Hearing the guests upstairs and thin walls.
Modern technology with HVAC and lighting. Free Wifi and cable channels. Refrigerator and nice shower/bathroom.

Lovely friendly people and such a beautiful room looking out over the ocean, so clean and a bottle of fizzy for us to celebrate our anniversary. So close to lovely eating places and then a walk from Sam's Chowder House on the beach, beautiful.

The nice-looking room seems freshly renovated. Loved the fireplace. The coffee machine at the lobby is a big plus. Killer view over bay. Walking distance to local brewery and restaurants. Stormy whether contributed to nice night sleep. It was quiet and peaceful.

Great location for people who pass by Half Moon Bay, right on the road. A couple of great restaurants nearby (La Costanera for dinner, The Press for Breakfast). The rooms are really nice and cozy.

AustraliaThere is very poor sound proofing between the rooms, I could hear everything from the room next door. Fortunately they were fairly quiet and went to bed early. Ear plugs are provided so the hotel is obviously aware of the issue.
Rooms have recently been refurbished with lots of great touches like USB ports. Very clean, bed extremely comfortable.

United States of AmericaBath towels too small!
Tina upgraded us to a room with a king-size bed, which was much appreciated and she was very friendly when we checked in. We liked the room's white and blue color scheme...not fussy, just cool and relaxing, and it was quiet. Water pressure was fine in the shower; our only negative would be the size of the bath towels...more suitable for children than adults. Matt was at the front desk in the morning when we checked out and he was also very pleasant and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again (and hope that new larger towels would be in place). Weren't able to make it onto the state beach due to the recent heavy rains creating a stream we would have had to cross. Visited Half Moon Bay's old Main Street and, based on recommendations of locals, went to J. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. It was wonderful, with lovely walks through cypress and other trees to the beach access, where we visited tidepools and walked the beach itself. Beautiful area.
