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 hotel is directly on the main street of Laguna beach so there is a lot of traffic. You have to be very careful in driving in and out as well as walking across the street.
We got a King Bed Room with a kitchenette. It was perfect for our needs. We had a small dog with us and we wanted to have a few of our meals in our room. It worked well. The Tides In is an older hotel but it has been updated and well-maintained. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Super cute property, included beach chairs, parking, and many small things that made it really convenient. Very cozy and small town feel, even has a handwritten welcome card! Loved the staff and how polite they all were. They upgraded us for free without us asking. Loved the heated salt water pool, it was amazing after the beach.

CanadaDidn't like dragging mine and my wife's heavy luggage up the stairs but that was no fault of Tides. The washroom was a bit cramped, but serviceable.
Very lovely stay! The place was very clean and the room was nice and large even with a king bed. We had a decent (partial) view of the ocean from the room. We walking down to the awesome coastline in five minutes as it was a block away. The heated pool and the cozy corner outdoor fireplace next to the pool, in the evening, was a special treat.

CanadaSince we were beside the laundry room and the drains obviously needed service, our room had a sewer smell when laundry was in use. The hotel did let us use a candle for the smell so that helped.
Clean comfortable room that has everything you need, close to everything in Laguna Beach. Parking is right on the property and safe. Pool area very spacious and the temperature was warm even though the weather was on the cold side.

Our room was perfect! Immaculately clean. Our king size room included a kitchen with everything we needed. A Keurig with complementary coffee, which was a big deal to us. Maid service was excellent the 2 days we stayed there. The location is great and accross the street from the beach and many restaurants to choose from. The management was excellent and we will be back again. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and The Tides was perfect!

United States of AmericaSoundproofing needs work. We stayed on first floor and people above us were loud and couldn’t sleep. The hotel thoughtfully provided earplugs but they didn’t help. Carpeting on upper levels is a must. The tile floors are an echo chamber. However most people don’t stomp around in heels at 6 am so it was a bit of bad luck
Friendly staff, immaculate rooms, beautiful grounds and pool area, friendly and personable note upon arrival, and location

United States of AmericaThe bathroom is outdated with rusting on curtain rod and light fixture. A few ants were seen in the bathroom but no significant trail to determine where they came from. Despite older decor, the housekeeping staff maintains exceptional cleaning.
The Tides is located half-mile from Laguna Main Beach and only a block away from Helser Park. It is very convenient to walk to most attractions. They also provide bottled waters in the rooms. The front-desk staff is friendly and helpful.
