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 StatesJust the loud sea lion barking, but the beauty and entertainment factor kind of makes up for it. And if you don’t mind sleeping with the doors to the balcony closed, it’s fine. They are somewhat soundproof, muffling the noise. And I think the sea lions stopped partying by 10pm, though they were up with the sun!
Spacious, updated room with a great view. Loved watching all the sea life at play! Sea lions and otters swirling and twirling in pairs in the water and romping at the shoreline. The oceanfront room gave us a great view of all the activity beneath us in the water. The harbor room might have been better because it has a direct view of San Carlos beach where all the sea lion action was happening. It was great entertainment, until bedtime came along. We wanted to leave our balcony door open to get the fresh sea air but the sea lions were just too noisy. It’s louder than spring break in Mazatlan! They squawk and bark constantly. I learned that they aren’t there all year so be sure to check. It made sleeping a little challenging…but we still managed to get a restful 8 hours in!

United StatesThe breakfast options were good I just don't think they understood my requests. I am allergic to strawberries, the first day we had to call and ask where our food was, I had requested it at 7 we received it around 10. We also had an issue and called for security in the parking garage and never saw any security guards. A man was fighting with his wife, and my husband had to intervein. People use the parking garage to access the beach, on site security would be a great option.
The View The View The View It was out of this world Beautiful. I have been looking for a room with a view for a long time and this was it! Also, there were birds nearby nesting, we enjoyed watching them.

United StatesThe location and view were excellent. Our room was very nice. Staff friendly. The room was well stocked with many amenities and the continental breakfast brought to our room was a plus. There were 2 hot tubs available which my husband enjoyed. The harbor view was beautiful and our balcony was so relaxing. Once we parked our car at the hotel, we were able to walk to great restaurants and to the aquarium as well.

United StatesThe fact that we can't control the temperature of the AC in our room, that was a downer for sure.
Location is perfect - minutes away from the Monterey Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf, beautiful walk by the bay after dinner, and all the shops and restaurants. It really is the perfect location!! The content of breakfast is awesome, especially the freshly baked assorted muffins, they were absolutely delicious!

The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Everything about our experience was wonderful, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality.

United StatesWhile it was nice to have breakfast brought to our room at a time of our choosing, the selection at breakfast was a little underwhelming, so we did venture out and buy something else outside most days.
The best location you can possibly imagine in Monterey, on the beach and with beautiful ocean views. Our room was comfortable and spacious, and we enjoyed reading or having our tea/coffee on the balcony. Also, kudos to the wonderful maids and the hard work they do :)

United StatesThe breakfast was not nearly as good as it used to be back in the day. Was a bummer because I was really looking forward to it. The barking seals were slightly annoying but we still enjoyed it and found them funny.
Loved the view our room had. The hot tub was really nice and private. The shower/tub was good size. The bed was very fluffy and comfortable. I appreciated they had complimentary waters with the room.
