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 towels for the hot tub could be improved, as you need to use your bath towels, leaving you short for the next shower.
It is walkable to downtown and the beach. Enjoyed the hot tub and sitting areas. We used the grill for dinner one night. It was super clean. It had everything we needed.

United States of AmericaThe Murphy bed in the studio unit is a little difficult to get in and out of because it sits so low to the ground and ends up too close to the TV stand making it a little difficult to maneuver around. Everything else was great.

New ZealandPine Acres Lodge is in a quiet area, close to the Historic part of Monterey. We loved being able to cook our own meals after being out exploring the area during the day. Our unit was great, parking right outside. We had a lovely deck out the back which we enjoyed using. Reception staff were great and offered helpful information about where to find supermarkets.

United States of AmericaThe pull down king-size Murphy Bed although comfortable, occupied much space in the compact studio room, making walking around challenging. The TV should have at least some basic news channels like CNN, some movie channels. Having only product channels, and reruns of Green Acres, Three Stooges and other 60's shows was not a particularly good offering, especially given the relatively high room rate.
Location in Pacific Grove, four blocks from the sea, six blocks from downtown. Quiet surroundings. Specified parking near unit. Comfortable bed and linens.

United States of AmericaI realize the disinfectant cleaning system for all public places to stay is a standard but I do wish a window had been opened before I arrived so it wasn't so strong. My luggage and spare garments smelled like the disinfectant when I got home so had to wash everything. I opened all of the windows all the time except for nighttime because it was a bit chilly.
For an established neighborhood, the recent update and amenities were done very well. Some nearby places that I've stayed were 'just ok' compared to P.A.L.. Also, the room was immaculate! Not even so much as a spider web (not that I looked, though). The little heater was surprisingly very effective in heating the room very quickly! I hope to use the kitchen next time as eating out can be expensive. Wonderful location, very nice and friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy.

United States of AmericaIt would have been nice to have had a vegetable peeler in the otherwise well-stocked kitchenette. Also a salt and pepper shaker or salt and pepper packets (there were sugar and sweetener packets). The gas "fireplace" was underwhelming--even with the lights off, you could barely see the flame. But that was only disappointing because there WAS a fireplace. Had it not been there, we wouldn't have missed it.
Everything about the room! It was clean, comfortable, spacious, very quiet, in a convenient location, and met all our needs. We would definitely return.
