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 bathroom door was warped due to water damage and once it was closed you would have to pry extremely hard in order to get it back open. The bathroom door for 114 should be replaced. The wifi also wasn’t the best, and we frequently just used cellular data since it was faster.
The staff was very kind and welcoming. The front desk attendant who helped us check in had a very friendly demeanor. He also gave us a small goody bag of snacks, which was appreciated. The room itself was a little bit quirky with a separate kitchenette. While we didn’t do any cooking during our stay, it was a nice amenity.

United States of AmericaThe toilet was not cleaned, looked like it wasn’t flushed after last use. Light from room across the parking lot shined directly into my room and had difficulty getting the curtains to close properly to block it out. No information on the TV channels, I had to just flip through them (multiple channels) to find something I liked.
The bed was comfortable, looked like the room was remodeled. Had fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Large TV.

United States of AmericaUnfortunately we had a room with 2 double beds for 2 Adults and 2 children, and doubles are just a tad small for 2 people would have preferred at least a queen. My pillow was just ok should have brought my own. Bed itself wasn't bad just small.I want to give a great review for there friendliness and cleanliness but I had a rough night sleep in that small bed

United States of AmericaThe property is definitely a little old and has some wear and tear, so if you’re picky about that this won’t be your place. However, it was well cleaned and smelled nice and I thought it was pretty charming for a little beach town hotel. The bathroom was a little small and the toilet ran a bit but only for a minute. My only two real complaints were that the pillows were super flat and worn out and that the products they provided for showering were not great, even by hotel standards, though they did provide a fair amount of them.
For being an older property, it was really clean and well maintained. The bed was super firm but comfortable and the TV was easy to use and had a lot of channels. I only stayed for one night so I didn’t need the kitchen facilities but I was pleasantly surprised that my room had a little extra room with an entire kitchen and love seat. If I were to stay longer, I would definitely stay here again because there is an oven, full sized fridge, and a microwave. The shower had good water pressure but was a little hard to maintain temperature. The man working at the front desk was pleasant and efficient and checked me in early. The location was decent, I was able to get almost anywhere in Santa Cruz by bus in less than 45 minutes even though the buses are super sporadic there.

United States of AmericaCleanliness was not completely up to par. Sticky inside dresser drawers. Walking barefoot on the floor I got a lot of dirt on my feet. Paint in the bathroom is peeling. Bathroom door is rotting from moisture room 114.
As a solo female traveler I felt safe and comfortable. I slept well. The person at check in was very friendly. The cleaning person (wish I caught her name!) was very friendly. The place is very spacious, the kitchen stove worked really well. Lots of storage area-plenty of room for my surfboards inside. The geraniums in front of the adorable balcony are a nice touch. Thanks for a good stay!
