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 StatesNo a/c but fans were provided. Windows open up to courtyard so people can look in your room as they walk by if you have curtains open. We didn’t have a choice but to have them open as it was the only window and it was very warm in there.
Loved the room, very nicely decorated felt a bit like stepping back in time but not in a bad way. Retro feel but not outdated.

BrazilIt was a surprise to received a message from the hotel after the reservation that would be a charge for the parking. I like to know all the chargers before the reservation, so I think the hotel or booking should let that be very clear.
A good clean room and was a quiet place to rest for a night of sleep after a heavy day of work.

Lovely room at the front of the property with balcony and sea view. Room was double aspect making it light and airy. There was tea and coffee available in the foyer. Pastries,muffins and fruit available for breakfast. Close to East Beach. Swimming pool and plenty of outside tables, chairs, seating and shade. The staff were all friendly and informative.

United StatesCharge for parking at the hotel was $15 per day, which I guess is not unusual for California. Parking was also not convenient for getting your bag upstairs.
Hotel is easy walking distance to the beach. Our room was clean and comfortable with all necessary conveniences. Property looked to be well maintained and provided some nice amenities such as lots of patio chairs and tables around the pool. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

GermanyBeautiful view of mountains and sea! And the fireplace, very cozy. It was also very comfy to sit outside during the evenings, some nice seating arrangements there. Just be conscious to not bother anyone after 10PM, as there's rooms all around with their bedroom windows facing right into the courtyard. We were lucky to have a room on second floor, not sure what the noise situation is on ground floor but it wasn't too busy when we were there.

United StatesThe room we stayed in needed some updating. There was some bathroom damage and some tiles missing and we had problems with the TV remote not working. I don't like that parking is $15/day.
We really like the proximity to the beach and that there are so many restaurants and shops close by. The coffee in the morning was nice and the pool is kept clean and sparkling. The rooms are very clean and the staff are all very nice and helpful.
