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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThe WiFi sucked. The network only showed up sporadically and wasn't always available even after connecting to it. Not a deal breaker, but you should know this.
The room was well appointed and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is about a mile from the downtown area, so isn't really walkable. The owner, Sal, was a pleasure to meet and even gave us a tip on where to watch the sunset, which was a three minute walk from the hotel. Beach access was another easy three minute walk. The only ding was the complete lack of WiFi. Both of our phones could link to the provided network only sporadically. No big deal for us, but if you need a strong, consistent, WiFi signal for whatever reason, this isn't the place. Would definitely consider staying here again based on the room cleanliness and easy beach access.

Beach view (and could hear waves crashing at night). King bed very well done. Good hot shower and nice fluffy, absorbant towels. In room kuerig coffee, refrigerator and microwave with comfortable bed. Close to beach access, with no-cost beach towels to borrow and thoughtful outdoor shower for after-beach rinse. Nice quieter north part of Laguna. Host, Sal, was friendly, informative and helpful. Exceeded expectations of what had once probably been a simple motor lodge, now upgraded nicely.

United StatesClose to Beach/Ocean. Easy to walk to Beach/Ocean, park, shopping, restaurants. Nice to have a carport to park in out of the sun. It was quiet. I did not hear other guests coming and going . The front office staff was very friendly and accommodating he let us check in early. Gave great information on the area and how to get around easily (trolley schedule etc)

United StatesIf I have to write something I would say that the ice machine closing time would be the only thing. It would be nice to have it open later but that said we were aware of the closing time and had ice every night. It is good to have insulated travel cup/mugs when you travel.
Nicely appointed room. Comfortable bed and bathroom facilities were clean and spacious. Parking was perfect. We were close to the beach with a tiny slice of view but did not expect more than that.

United KingdomThe property was quite basic, but we expected that. The air conditioning unit is old and quite loud, but it didn't bother us.
Charming, affordable option perfectly situated along the coast. The owner was very welcoming and gave us lots of information, from how parking worked, to how to access the beach, how the local trolley worked, and where the closest local store was. The room was extremely clean and we had ocean views. We had a surprisingly large bathroom, which was nice. Free bottles of water in the room were appreciated in the heat. This was the perfect location for visiting Laguna Beach, the small beach close to the property was beautiful, and we enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again for a nice, convenient, affordable, option.

United StatesWe have stayed here before and it is quiet, clean and convenient. The Manager Sal is very friendly and knowledgeable. The entry or rather the exit to the street is angled heavily so that many cars bottom out as they exit the property.
Convenience to main beach but not in the heart of all the traffic. It is a quiet location.

United StatesAC could have been turned on prior to arrival. Rooms were updated not sure how long ago but some things were not done properly as they're "falling apart": shower door tile from wall; chipped tile @ shower door entry; faucet @ bathroom sink.
What breakfast?! Wonderful location. Room was clean and reasonably priced. View from building closest to the ocean is fantastic! Staff was friendly and informative.

United StatesThe back window didn’t have a screen to keep the window open.
The place was closed to the beach within minutes walking distance. And our favorite beach too. It was near the trolley stop. The parking space fit our F350 truck but forgot to take a picture. Our room was downstairs and convenient. We were very pleased with the customer services…Sal showed us the room before agreeing which room we wanted upstairs or downstairs. We checked out very pleased.
