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 StatesParking was $15. Depending where you're room is located, you will need to go through the main lobby to get to your room if you arrive after 11pm. All hallway doors are locked at 11pm.
The room was clean. Friendly staff.

DenmarkNo real complains, but small comments: - The table in the room was very small, so we could not enjoy any leftovers food in the room. - Every morning we were woken up by the people walking by (and talking)
As a family of 3 the room with 2 beds was great for us. It was great to have the pool and the available parking. While there is no breakfast available, it is nice to have options so close by, integrated in the hotel area.

United StatesWhat could have made my stay a little better is more blankets. These days hotels use very thin blankets. Not idea. the pillows could have been bit better. Also, the tub is painted over white instead of being treated properly. This will cause peeling and eventual clogging.
Loved the motor lodge capability. Really great to just pull up to your door without walking through lobbies, etc. A plus for me. Glad that kind of room was available.

United StatesI didn’t like the fact that I had to pay an additional fee for parking. To be honest if I would have known the parking wasn’t included I would have chosen another option. I don’t think it was advertised in the booking website either, which also makes it more disappointing. Other than that I enjoyed everything else.
I enjoyed hanging out at the pool with my child along with the other families. Americana 1950s family vacation vibes were alive and well at the Kings Inn during our recent visit. It reminded us of those golden-era road trips—simple pleasures, neon signs, lawn chairs by the pool, and the kind of charm that’s hard to find these days. A hidden gem for anyone craving a little slice of the past. The convenience of having a fridge in the room was nice as well. We were able to put things in to keep cool before we packed it in our lunch bags for a day outing. The convenience of having the waffle spot there was so handy. We were able to pop in and we were seated quickly, food was yummy, service was great!

The Kings Inn is our favorite Hotel in Hotel Circle San Diego. It is just cleaner, higher quality and more stylish and classic than the rest. The rooms are decorated so nicely with aqua glass table tops, and very comfortable beds! They really keep up the high standards. The pool and hot tub are added bonuses to a great stay!
