Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

GermanyExcellent amenities, very comfortable beds, and friendly staff. The complimentary breakfast was outstanding. Perfect base for the beach, the 17-Mile Drive, or a bit of shopping in Carmel. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay on the California coast.

The hotel had an amazing location close to everything in Carmel, shops, restaurants, bars... Would describe as a boutique hotel. The rooms are lovely, the ambience of the hotel, water features, firepits were lovely.. ...we didn't want to leave the hotel in the evening as it was so relaxed and there were some great pizzas on offer. Another great touch was the complimentary breakfast! We travelled through California and stayed at quite a few hotels. This was the only hotel offering this!!

The best and the most exceptional breakfast…didn’t expect the kind of food being served. I like the quiet location, walkable distance to many restaurants and shops and even along Ocean Ave all the way to the beach. The staff were friendly. Hotel room was very clean, a lot of available parking spaces.

United StatesI generally enjoy staying at hotels that have a gym and hot tub. This property had neither.
Central location in downtown Carmel. Really interesting breakfast included in the stay served in little dishes with a wide variety of unique food selections. Reminded me of kaiseki breakfasts I had in Japan. Also enjoyed a delicious wood fire pizza for dinner. Very pleasant & helpful staff. Nicely furnished & appointed in a contemporary/modern style. EV charger available to guests for free.

It’s small and beautiful. It’s absolutely brand new and the decor is exquisite and luxurious. All details have been considered, from the steamer in the room, to the motion sensor lighting. The fire pits and outside lighting makes for a lovely evening sat sipping wine and eating their stone baked pizza. The location is fabulous too.

GermanyNice modern hotel and very friendly staff. The walk to the main mile was very short, the beach is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk. We had the suite with 2 bedrooms and felt very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and also different every day. The pizza in the evening by the fire was also very tasty. We were very satisfied.

United StatesVery pricey for the size of room, especially for mid week. Parking was additional charge. Fireplace was not working in our room when we arrived. Outdoor sitting areas are very nicely appointed and cozy with firepits, waterfalls, and streaming music, but were closed up too early each night.
Location was great right in the middle of Carmel by the Sea. Easy walk to downtown. Staff was professional and welcoming. The included breakfast on site was fantastic. Way beyond the usual "continental breakfast", with smoothies, coddled eggs, acai bowls and mini charcutier boards. Room was clean and very quiet. Didn't even hear another guest though the hotel appeared fully booked. Comfortable bed. Bathroom was exceptional with a big soaking tub.
