Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United States- Expensive for what it offered - Breakfast is really a bunch of muffins which are good but would have expected a bit more - Parking should have been included - No ocean views - A/C is not powerful enough - sweating even with mid 60s overnight with winter blankets given in summer.
The Hotel is very clean and the staff helpful and pleasant. Rooms are big. Liked the simplicity in rooms. very nice beds. Access to beach and pool in another hotel.

United StatesOur fireplace would not shut off! I know it’s partially me not remembering but the devices for controlling temperature is not straightforward and this is the second time i needed the front desk to make the change. Our milk for morning coffee was spoiled and the breakfast had so few offerings. I understand offseason is rough as you are not always full but it’s the little things that can leave an impression. I love the Bungalow and typically have NO issues. e
I love the bungalow, this is my 5 th time staying there. Staff is always exceptional and the space is comfortable.

United StatesThe rooms maybe need drying racks, or laundry units even. Going to the beach and washing bathing suits and towels every day (we bring our own), is a hassle without those things. A vacuum would also be useful to have in the room to do quick cleanups since there is a kitchen and dining table (kids are messy). We brought a small handheld one and used it for under the table.
Very good, spacious, minimalist rooms. Friendly staff. Great location.

United StatesThe couch(es) are highly uncomfortable. Also, I was disappointed by the new and excessive parking charge for the reservation which was fairly steep to begin with. Another thing: I paid for an "oceanview" room. The ocean was nowhere in view, except in my imagination. That is deceptive. I might add that the breakfast provisions were not up to smack either.
I liked the cleanliness as well as the spaciousness of the room.

United StatesI am familiar with the area so I did not have any issues with learning about places to eat, see, etc., but I feel that other guests who are new to the area may want more information at the check-in desk. I would suggest a written brochure and map of pier village and nearby areas. My room faced Ocean Blvd so I heard all the big trucks and loud cars blasting their music passing by. Walls seem a little thin. I read some reviews stating there was complimentary breakfast but I was never informed about it and the bar in the lobby was rarely open. The receptionist at the front desk is the same person that works the bar/Cafe. There was only one person working at a time, so I think 2 or more per shift would liven up the place a bit and be able to accommodate more requests from guests. This hotel is about 3 blocks (7-10 min walk) to the sister resort which has the beach chairs, pool, etc. I'm okay with this but may be a hassle for elderly people or a family carrying a lot of things.
I stayed in the Hang Loose room. Comfortable clean spacious rooms and access to amenities at sister resort Wave Hotel is a major plus (beach, fitness center, and pool). Has wifi and a table in the room so I could work remotely. Kitchenette had coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge - perfect for leftovers! Fireplace made the atmosphere cozy. Housekeeping staff was very accommodating - there were some days I put my DND sign on the door but needed just the garbage thrown away. When i saw housekeeping staff in the hallway, they would check with me if i still needed anything for the room. Location of hotel is tucked in the corner around Pier Village and a block away from the public beach. The lobby is fun with cool artsy decor. I forgot her name, but one of the receptionists at night was so nice! I ordered food and it didn't arrive until about 9:30 PM and she offered to bring it up to my hotel room - I declined her kind offer as I could easily go down to pick it up myself.
