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...).

GermanyThe setting and interior are in an old style, which is not the most convenient, but it adds to the charm of the place.
It's old-fashioned but beautifully maintained. We arrived very late, but it was still easy to check-in. We loved the breathtaking view from the breakfast room and the small yet high-quality breakfast. The staff cannot be kinder, and parking is available directly at the property. I would stay again when I travel to Pacific Grove.

United States of AmericaEverything was fantastic, save for pillows, which felt like they were stuffed with cotton balls and offered little support.
Everything about the inn feels thoughtful and cozy, from the books in the library to the carefully-curated antiques in each room. It truly feels like you’ve stepped back in time to the pinnacle of the Victorian era. The staff is lovely and welcoming, and there are few things like spotting a dolphin or two in the bay as you enjoy a hot breakfast.

Great location positioned directly at the sea. Couldn't find a better location in Monterey. Extremely nice staff.

United States of AmericaBreakfast was a little disappointing after reading many raves. Eggs on muffins were tasty but not warm - maybe a chafing dish would help?
Superb location, charming old-time feel. Enjoyed a welcome bottle of wine overlooking the Bay.

CanadaGet some new mattresses please. They are ancient and bone breaking,
Everything was amazing. The best part? Otters for breakfast, Judy for lunch and sunsets for dinner. Judy made this hotel become a five star accommodation , without her there is no hotel as she is the hardest worker, training staff, being present and always having a smile. I will be back for Judy- period.

Whatever they are making, Mr. Martine, they deserve more than just a raise…daily praise for a job well done is free! Thank you for a wonderful 3 nights. The interior is beautiful, the paintings very interesting and the beds comfortable. Plus I had a real fireplace! I’ll be back. Bill Roe (March 2024)

United KingdomWe were sad we only stayed one night!
A charming hotel, right on the ocean front in Pacific Grove. An easy stroll to Cannery Row to the right and a lovely walk along the coastal path to the left, taking in all the wildlife in the ocean. Beautiful! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a lovely bonus! You can also help yourself to coffee and water all day.
