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 StatesIt IS an historic hotel and the room was TINY. The square footage is accurately reported in the listing, but it still shocked me (that's on me, not them). It was also pretty warm in the room and only by opening the door to the outside walkway can you let any air in. But you can't open the door, because it's a walkway with access to other rooms AND the street. Also, the bar next door doesn't keep music on late, but people chat on the patio, which is just the other side of the room we were in.
Mendocino Hotel's location is ideal. You can walk to everything. It's lovely to be in the village and so close to the sea. I also love that it has been a lodging place since the community began.

United StatesRun-down appearance (broken window, weeds growing along curb, bird poop on hand rail at front door) all scream "we don't care!" Steep (very steep) staircase and reluctance of staff to help toting bags up them. Hotel's own website still boasts "full service", bar and restaurant which has been untrue since the Pandemic. To be fair Booking.com makes no such claims
Location - ocean views, fog permitting, comfortable suite, brass four-poster, balcony

United StatesOutdoor furniture old and deck chairs all torn. Only one sitting chair in the room, when there were two of us. Smell of hotel when first entering was not fresh; the hotel is obviously not kept up to its old glory.
Perfect location, and the deck surrounding the hotel on the second story (which was where our room was) was beautiful; we loved spending time there. Swing on porch very nice. Staff friendly and accommodating.

United StatesWe were not informed about the bar and restaurant being closed and that the hotel will undergo major renovations from September. It felt like everything was on hold despite being in the middle of the summer. Cleaning felt half-hearted, our mini-fridge had the leftover lunch from previous guests in it. Some rooms are certainly run down and could use a face lift but it would be so sad if the old style and decoration went away. Please be careful when renovating!
Perfect location and we loved the old style and interior particularly in the main building. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THIS CHARM IN THE UPCOMING RENOVATION!!!!

We found the old historic furnishings very charming. Our room faced the ocean and we especially enjoyed being able to go out onto the deck and see the ocean. The old swing was an extra bonus.
