Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I just didn’t love opening the front door to the bathroom sink but of course that would not be an easy fix. Still a good value for the price, and overall I would stay again.
Breakfast was good, I loved that the lobby had coffee, hot water and cookies all day. We noticed a fire pit table by the pool and although we did not use it, it would be something to look forward to on another visit. Loved the proximity to all the surrounding areas.

Great location near Hearst Castle and San Simeon Beach, the employees were very friendly, the room was big and clean. There's a small pool that we did not try out because of the weather and a small bonfire if you want to eat or chill outside.

Nothing to remember.
We booked two rooms. Rooms are a bit dated but clean. Shower and wc clean and functional with ample towels. breakfast basic but organised and sufficient. front desk personal very helpful. there was a small swimming pool and a fireplace next to it but we didn’t have time to try it. The general attitute was ‘’no rust, enjoy yourself’’, so we felt very comfortable. definitely good value for what we have paid.

The only thing I would complain about was that our room had a slight musty odor when we walked in but it wasn't that bad.
I really liked the location. The price was excellent. The free breakfast was excellent too. Unfortunately we were only at the hotel from 9:00pm-9:00am so we did not walk around the neighborhood. I loved the fact that they have 24 hour coffee and hot tea/chocolate by the reception area. What a treat to get a full snickers bar when we checked out!! I also love the closeness that it has to the Hearst Castle. It was only 5 minutes away!! Overall great place to stay!!

It was pouring rain when we were there and the down spouts were right where you park your car to check in. Rain water was pouring through the down spouts and got really wet. Also the lobby check in had leaks in the ceiling. But that had nothing to do with the room we stayed in. That was great.
Liked having a restaurant right on the property. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Check in was very helpful and had cookies in the lobby. He also gave us candy bars when we left in the morning.
