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...).

Czech RepublicThe motel itself doesn't look very welcoming from outside and it could use some renovation but as I said, room itself was nice and I believe you will not find anything better for that price range in San Simeon area.
We wanted just a sleepover place, nothing spectacular, so we were positively surprised by nice reviews and also low price of this place. It is really value for money - spacious clean room with big bed and good location if you want to explore San Simeon and other interesting places nearby.

United States of AmericaThe door to the bathroom needed to be adjusted (wouldn't close completely, seemed to be offset just enough to not close. Mirror had a couple of broken corners, and the faucet was off center, just enough to annoy...
Just as requested, we got a sea view room, upstairs and away from stairs and ice machine. Clean as usual, and the bed was awesome. For once a fridge was set to the right temp!! The freezer kept our ice packs frozen, while keeping our food cool, but not frozen... This is hard to find any more! This was a free night stay, due to comps from Booking for being a long time member. <3

United States of AmericaWe have been going to this hotel for over 20 years. Normally they have everything we need. They recently changed furniture. No longer offer a small table and chairs like before. We like to watch the ocean, play cards and eat in the room. Now this is difficult without the table.
Love the location and the staff.

United States of AmericaThere was only one chair in the room (typically there’s at least 2 depending on the size of the room). Had to bring up our camping chairs to enjoy the view from the window as we shared conversation, before heading out to explore the area.
Location is wonderful, the room was clean, bedding was comfortable.

United KingdomWhen we checked in was told there would be a pre planned power cut from 9pm to 6:30am , they gave us a torch . There was no hot water or electricity when we checked out . The fire alarm went off so we evacuated at 5am a false alarm due to power ! Not ideal.
Perfect location , friendly staff , lovely room.
