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 StatesThe beds were clean, but thin, so more comfortable beds would be nice. The TV is small (not really a big deal). the room had a bit of a musty smell (kinda like it had been hotel cleaned, if that makes sense) so not really bad either but I noticed and immediately wished I had brought a scented candle or room spray.
The location was perfect, within minutes of all we needed for the weekend - close to soccer fields, the beach and food venues we wanted to go to. The room was simple, but clean. All we needed was a place to refresh and sleep. It is quiet, even being by the freeway. Easy check in and check out. No frills hotel close to all we needed in Carlsbad.

United StatesWe were expecting queen beds and they were full so it was a bit tight but in general we were very happy. We had many bugs come out of the light fixture two nights out of our five night stay.
The staff was quiet but friendly. The bathroom is big compared to the next hotel we stayed in. The pool is EXTREMELY small but it worked out so we had it to ourselves almost every time we went swimming. I lived the layout of the building.

United StatesThe breakfast is not breakfast at all. Was disappointed in this. Was hoping for at least a little variety as far as a muffin, pastry. But it was one choclate pastry thing.
Loved the little pool. The suite we had was huge. Way bigger than I was expecting. Good location too. Staff was friendly and helpful.

United StatesPlease do not call this a breakfast. All there is for breakfast is a bag sealed piece of pastry that is not even good for you. I would love to see a fresh bagel instead. Please make a better effort to provide a decent breakfast.
