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 AmericaI would opt for a balcony. Did not have one. Beds/pillows were not the most comfortable. Wish the blankets on the bed were not so dated and lacking in comfort.

United States of AmericaIt's a bit of a walk to either downtown or Asilomar, but doable.
After many years of staying else where, I discovered the Monarch Resort, and have been there 3 or 4 times. It's a great value - nice sized room, immaculately clean, good breakfast, nice location (halfway between downtown and Asilomar St Beach). I love the fireplace and nightly Duraflame log!

United States of AmericaThe staff member wasn’t friendly or welcoming upon check in. Although she answered my questions she wasn’t warm and engaging. This wasn’t the customer service experience I expected.
The continental breakfast had a great variety of items to choose from. The room had plenty of space to enjoy breakfast. Offering breakfast was one of the reasons I selected the Monarch resort for our stay. Many hotels in our price range have discontinued this perk. It made traveling with my elderly mom more convenient and a great start to our day.

United States of AmericaVery dated. Saw other properties near by cheaper and much more updated. Spa and pool were clean but everything is very dated and nothing has been updated since the 80s or earlier. Clean but not worth over 250 a night. The property is struggling to maintain garden and inside areas of the property. Mattresses are very old.
Clean. Great location

Location felt safe and was quiet. hot tub and pool were great after a day exploring, inroom fireplace and patio were enjoyaable loved being able to open the windows and have fresh air. Great amenities for a good value off the beaten path. The nearby cemetery was fun to explore and full of deer.
