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...).

AustraliaCoffee accessible at all times would be great.
The property’s location is sensational. The property has a unique eclectic but family like feel to it…. Happy Hour at 5.30 pm. Long length mirrors are great…size of the room is great. Water pressure amazing…an artist’s feel which is different but really nice. Breakfast provided was a nice touch. Decent size fridge 👍🏽

United States of AmericaYou need to have a staff member available by phone all the time. And I was glad I still speak Spanish! (Learned at UCSB 63 years ago!).
Location a little cramped. Food selections a little strange (lemon pie for breakfast????).

New ZealandVery un-eco friendly. At breakfast everything was disposable, from the plates to the cutlery, to the cups. I imagine this saves time, but the wastage with the number of tourists coming through must be huge.
Great location, very comfortable, lovely rooms and I particularly liked the little balcony which looked out on to the ocean. That breakfast was included was great.

United States of AmericaNo staff availability. The continental breakfast was a diabetes war zone. No fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs. No syrup for the waffles. No tables to sit and enjoy your breakfast. They placed us in a small over crowded living room. It was cozy, but we couldn’t enjoy our “breakfast”
I loved how close it was to the beach!

United States of AmericaToo clustered! No decent space for breakfast. Very limited items for breakfast and items were not relished until you complaint. No one at the front desk to help out! No microwave in the room , we didn't bother as we were staying for 1 night only!
It was worth the price paid as it's located across the beach

United States of AmericaThe hotel is very understaffed. The poor receptionist was trying to do everything (check in new costumers, take care of breakfast, clean the rooms)... We felt bad for her, and this did not give us the best impression of the establishment.
The location is really wonderful by the beach and near a lot of restaurants and bars. They were accommodating and did their best to give us a room that would fit our needs.

Germany-The toilet situation in our room - it was impossible to properly close or lock the door. Also the bathroom seemed a bit old. -The (included) breakfast was OK, but only includes sweet/unhealthy stuff. It would be great if they offered savory food as well and if they used reusable plates, cups and cuttlery (instead of the disposable ones). -The staff is very nice, however the hotel seemed a bit understaffed when we were there (long waits at the reception for check-in/out or if you wanted to ask something). -The pool didn't seem very clean at the time of our stay.
Cozy inn with a sunny patio to hang out, have breakfast or chill in the (warm) pool. Very nice staff and great location right at the beach and wharf. Very comfortable beds.

United States of AmericaRoom we got had a broken window with plastic wrapped on it. not very clean room, and breakfast was about 30 mins late to set up when we got up at 7am to eat. Other than that it was a great time spent on the coast.
The appearance of the hotel was very nice, I really liked the staff who helped us and the pool side area was very nice. We loved the fact that we were mere feet away from the coastline and beach.

United States of AmericaParking was a challenge, the bedding, sheets, pillows were low end. It wasn’t overlooking the beach like the pictures showed. It’s down the street instead with no view or balcony liked it showed in the pics. For $340.00 a nite. I didn’t see the value. No wifi was given. Nor did they say breakfast is over at 10am.
The hot tub was nice. And fireplace in lobby.
