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...).

Great location in Carmel. There is a swimming pool which we didn’t use but others were using. 15 min walk to Carmel beach. Bit old fashioned but suited vibe of Carmel. Tonnes of parking. There was a fridge and a microwave and little kitchen area in the room. Close to some great restaurants.

BrazilThe breakfast options are very limited (just coffee, bananas and sweet things) and there is no place to have it (you just pick it and take to the room, where there is no table). The shower has no water pressure.
The hotel is colored, which is cute, the bathroom is big and the bed is confortable. There is a nice pool, although I didn't have time to use it.

United KingdomLack of lighting in the shower and very thin walls, fine for us but if you’re a light sleeping, it’s good to keep in mind!
A super cute hotel with a nice cosy and warm feeling. The location was fantastic, right in the centre of all the Carmel fun! It is a very safe town and the parking on-site was a great plus. Staff was friendly and chatty! We really loved our stay at Hofsa House and fell in love with Carmel. We will definitely be back!

United States of AmericaI was situated by the stairwell so I heard ppl coming and going on the stairs. Nights were peaceful and quiet though, and around 10 AM the housekeepers began cleaning the rooms so it was a bit noisy in the hallway for a couple of hours.
The room was basic hotel room except incl a fridge which was very helpful. It had a nice view of the ocean and bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed the continental breakfasts each morning, set up as grab and go, but the staff were there to greet with a smile and pour coffee for me, which was so nice. Housekeeping service was included in the rate every day, which was an added value, but I chose to have them come in only twice during my 5 night stay. because I was relaxing in my room and didn't want to be disturbed.

United States of AmericaThere was plenty of parking but if you couldn’t get one close to your room, it was a very long trek up and down stairs (because parking lot is below the property).
Close to restaurants, clean, comfortable bed, private balcony, ocean view, big room, big changing area with fridge/coffee maker, nice pool, helpful and kind staff, continental breakfast (coffee/tea, juice, pastries). Beach close but not close enough (8-10 blocks) to walk comfortably (uneven sidewalks and would be all uphill on the return).
