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 tv was too small and placed in an awkward position. Would have preferred to have an actual mini fridge instead of mini bar, so that I could enjoy the snacks I prefer and that were not so costly. No temperature control for the room. There was no thermostat. Appreciated that breakfast was included. However, serving the exact same things and with no meat option each day made it not so appealing for the multiple days of our stay.
The rooms and view were absolutely wonderful! Appreciated the heated toilet seat and bidet.

United States of AmericaBuddhist theme is prominent in the common areas (not a bad thing just something to be aware of), quiet is encouraged but rooms have TVs (I didn't mind that at all but kept my volume very low), room had no place to sit except for on bed or at two dining chairs but there was no table. Bed was soft but a little lumpy. The weirdest thing was that I was awoken in the morning by a loud noise that sounded like someone repeatedly slamming a door (or a cupboard) and stomping up and down the hallway outside my room, which was particularly odd considering the emphasis on peace and quiet.
Lovely staff (Sarah), quality healthy food both delivered to the room for dinner and for the breakfast buffet, nice toiletries, awesome rain shower head

MexicoNothing in particular, I really love the experience. Probably the prices on massage were a little bit higher than were I expected, but nothing impossible to pay.
Our recent stay in Julian was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of the serene lake. The room with its lake view was simply spectacular, offering us the perfect backdrop for a tranquil retreat.

United States of AmericaLove it all.
This is an amazing resort overlooking Lake Cuyamaca. Every attention to detail was taken care of with Buddha statues, wall hanging, sculptures, ornate furniture, and other decorations from Asia throughout the resort. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always there to help answer questions. The meditation room is beautiful and relaxing. We really enjoyed reading our books in the common area overlooking the lake while sipping on tea. The breakfast was hearty and healthy. We attended a guided meditation that was a great way to unwind. The sauna was cherry on top. Will be back again soon.

United States of AmericaLoved my stay. Hard to find a downside. Only thing I could say to future travelers is, if you’re staying in one of the downstairs, lake suites, with the spa tubs..you can hear everything upstairs. I think the kitchen or breakfast room must have been right above me. It sounded like people were in my room, staring at 6:30 am. Stomping and running back and forth and loud banging until about 10 am. Also, my spa tub didn’t hold water. Fully drained after about 10 minutes of being filled. I’m sure it’s an easy fix with a new plug or patch.
Loved the view and friendlystaff. The room was very nice and loved the extra touches. I had a great massage at the spa and wish I had time to use the outdoor, communal jacuzzi with the awesome view. The hotel is very accommodating and has a lot to offer with billiard rooms and yoga classes.

MexicoWe liked everything, it was beautiful
The personnel is very friendly. Sarah helped us at every moment. The room was beautiful, spacious, clean, quiet, the AC was perfect, you will love the bathroom with a tub. We traveled with a 3-year-old child and Sarah helped us place an extra bed for him. Breakfast was adequate and tasty. The terrace and the view from the room towards the lake were incredible, much better than what can be seen in the photographs. In the morning, we saw many deer. Simply perfect to spend the days as a couple or with family.
