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 hallway carpets were very dirty, the elevator made weird sounds that didn’t make us feel very comfortable, and you had to pay an extra $16/day for parking (very inconvenient).
The location was great, 10-15 minutes walking distance to the beach and lots of great restaurants downtown Solana. We discovered our new favorite Thai Restaurant just a 3 minute walk away! The room was big enough for us to sleep and lounge around between activities. The linen was clean, the entryway with its Christmas decor was a very nice touch, and I liked that there was a hot tub. The breakfast was a nice bonus, not amazing but definitely doable.

United States of AmericaThe hallways' carpet was worn out. The hallways and common areas were not updated and that made the hotel look older and dirty. I believe they are going to update the hotel in the next few weeks, though.
Breakfast, room and location. I really liked our suite, we first got a regular room but it didn't have enough storage space for a week stay. Breakfast is very good too. I brough my own GF bread and I was set. Nice selection of GF options other than that.

United States of AmericaThe view was of a dirty lot, trash everywhere, we paid extra for a room with a balcony and view. Not worth it at all. The bed springs were broken, and the bed was loud and very uncomfortable.
The breakfast was great. The staff was nice. The carpet was dirty and stained throughout the hotel.

United States of AmericaRoom had slight odor of floral type cleaner and felt a bit humid. When we turned on heat the fan spewed out dust and burnt dust smell. One of staff members was curt; other two were friendly. Suggest adding whole grain bread option and non-sugar yogurt.
Location near beach is great. Room was quiet. Breakfast was full option. Price was good for location. Pool area had ample seating and places to visit with friends.

United States of AmericaIf you turned the tv off in our room you could work it again because it disconnected the Wi-Fi and you’d have to call the front desk to send someone to fix it. Also, we have a baby and the refrigerator didn’t work. Didn’t realize it until morning when the milk I bought the night before wasn’t cold. Also the curtains are sheer only. The other curtains don’t close they are only decorative. Everything could have been a bit cleaner.
The location was great and overall it was good for the price. Some minor changes could make it much better. The breakfast was pretty good too. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse.

United States of AmericaThe curtains didn't close and there is a power station right outside. I had light glaring into my eyes all night. You can hear the cars from the Freeway.
The room was clean plus the bed and pillows were super comfortable. The breakfast location was a really nice area--spacious, with a high ceiling and very inviting. It had one big group table that was cool. Would make a good family game table as well during non-breakfast hours. I didn't have time to eat, so I actually don't know what breakfast tasted like. The location was excellent. You can walk to the beach. It's literally around the corner. There is also a good Italian restaurant literally steps away.

United States of AmericaThey didn’t have curtains that blocked light- only the white thin ones. The refrigerator was noisy, so I unplugged it. They took $75 for incidentals upon checkin. That’s the first time a Holiday Inn charged me this type of deposit. The people in the checkin desks were not friendly- both the evening and morning ones.
For breakfast, they had salsa, walnuts, 2 types of eggs, potatoes, unsweetened almond milk, the cream for the waffles was piped nicely in curls.
