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 AmericaWiFi was spotty. Didn't get linens or towels changed -- but maybe you have to request that and I did not. Tub drained a little slowly, and the table was a little rickety.
The staff was very nice. I spilled coffee on two pillows, and they refused to take reimbursement for them. It's right on the beach, and you can see the Chesapeake Bay from the parking lot. The shower was hot. The bed was very comfortable. Very firm, which I like.

United States of AmericaIt felt as a group of people have made this their own little town. There are ALWAYS people watching you and trying to scope out your situation. People were shouting, fighting, and slamming doors at all hours, and nothing was said to them. It always felt like someone was about to try to run your pockets or something. It also felt as though the staff was either on the take (willingly or not) and/or in a hostage type scenario. Also, there was no chair in the room which meant the only seating was the bed, which was not great for trying to get work done. The lights could not be controlled from bed, seems small until you leave the lights on to read and then have to get up to turn them off mid-doze.
Loved the location! It was right off the beach! It was nice to be able to hear the waves from the room. Liked that there was a 7-Eleven right around the corner as well as several restaurants and shops of varying types.

United States of AmericaStaff was rude. Doesn’t try to help clients. Smells like smoke in the rooms, so it’s not a non-smoking area in the rooms. Other family members had the same issue.
Close to the beach, easy access to parking as well. Rooms were a good size & bathrooms are renovated.

United States of AmericaI disliked many things. The room smelled like cigarettes. The cable wasn’t working properly, it was stuck on one channel. A comforter could have been provided. More towels could have been provided, and floor towels were not provided. Given that the Ocean View Inn is on the beach, it would have been nice if the floors were tile instead of carpet so the sand wouldn’t get stuck in the carpet.
I liked the staff. They were responsive and kind. I also liked the location, since it is right next to the beach. The king size bed was comfy enough.

United States of America-sketchy -looked like people “lived” there -parking lot and in front of our door had trash everywhere when we arrived, random underwear and used condoms on the ground. -roaches in the bathroom -we requested late check out, which we were give. 30 extra minutes so 11:30am, well before 10am a very rude lady was banging on my door insisting it was checkout time. I told her we had late check out and closed the door and at 10:55am a gentleman showed up. Angling on the door reminding us of checkout times. By this time I had just had it, pointed at our bags that were all packed so we literally just had to walked out the door.
