How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The pet smell I will never stay at another hotel where it's pet friendly. We did not use the pool because of the pets being in the pool which is discussing.

So I payed 3 hundred dollars a night for a alley way....which I returned to the front desk in a mind blowing experience to say what I ordered was oceanfront..she was very nice and said, the property is called howard johnsons oceanfront....wow, opened my eyes how much I just got totally screwed by Booking Com. Moving on to the next year with alot more considerations!

Verified reviewThe staff was great. They got us checked in a little earlier, which was so helpful. The room was clean and stocked with towels and toilet paper.
The only thing that I didn't like was that the pool and hot tub were full of sand. Understandably, it came from guests not being courteous and rinsing off prior to getting in, so there's not much staff can do about it.

Verified reviewWe got an ocean front room; the room was spacious, the beds were very comfy, and the overall experience was great! The location was perfect; we were able to walk right from our room to the beach, and the boardwalk - we'll definitely come back!
Parking was a little tight. If you have a lot of bags, I suggest unloading before searching for a spot; unfortunately, we parked at the top of the lot, then had to walk down with a lot of luggage.

Our room was directly beside the elevator…like 1 step. This created lots of noise. We were woke every morning around 5am from the garbage truck and the banging of the dumpsters because we were the last room beside the alleyway. Rooms were sooooo small! Had to shut the bathroom door to be able to use the toilet. Not much hot water.

Verified reviewThe location was great. The balcony with a small view of the boardwalk and ocean to one side and a small view of the bay to the other side was nice. There are plenty of parking spots. Staff were friendly.
Lack of a fitness room.

Verified reviewNice hotel and pet friendly! Rooms are super nice and updated and the parking is a 10/10 it’s a garage so our car stayed away from the heat. On the boardwalk so location is one of the best
Carpet in the hallways are out dated and a little gross, a full body mirror is needed/would be nice in the rooms, and a outside shower head would be nice too if added before going into the hotel

Verified reviewLocation on the boardwalk. The room was modern and clean. The cleaning staff cleaned daily. Parking is included with price and always available on site. Plenty of hot water for showers. Has two elevators. There is an ice machine and the restaurant inside can fill your cooler for free. Love the free coffee and hot chocolate on the first floor. All the staff were friendly. Dogs are allowed and we enjoyed meeting other guests who had dogs with them.
Nothing to complain about.
