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 carpets were a little tattered, the bathroom had some mold in the areas where the caulking had turned black. The door to the patio was really hard to slide back and forth. Just a few things that some focused cleaning and repairing could solve.
Great place, this is my 3rd time there. Nice staff, very comfy beds, and so nice to have a swimming pool! This was the best bed of my whole vacation. It is very handy to have a nice restaurant on site.

United KingdomFor the price we paid I think breakfast should’ve been included. It was also a little noisy with sound carrying easily.
Beautiful location, good sized family suite and very clean. Great food in the restaurant although the lack of ambiance and decor lets it down which is a shame as the staff were all fabulous.

United States of AmericaWe needed to leave at 7am sharp and I needed a receipt for our stay to get reimbursed. The lobby was supposed to open at 7am, but no one showed up to open the front desk until 730am. That is the only negative I have to say about our say.
Honestly, it is a great hotel. The beds were super comfortable, the facilities were great. The view of the ocean was amazing.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom needs to be updated & they definitely need to get rid of the old school little coffee pots they have now & go to keurigs. Also a different coffee. I usually bring my own knowing this but didn't this time as it was only for 1 night this time. But will the next time. That would be my only real complaint.
Across the street from the beach, restaurant & bar on site as well as a liquor/ convenient store & Cambria right down the road. The room was clean & the beds were comfy. They've done a lot of updates & it looks very nice. I've been coming here for years & will continue to.
