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.).

Dirty bathroom, no soaps or conditioner. No telephone to front desk, the hotel itself is right next to a major road, lots of traffic that was loud throughout the night. Homeless hanging out on the side by our door. No extra locks on the door,

Verified reviewIt’s a very old property.
The floors were dirty. It needed a good sweep and mopped. The ice bucket was very dirty with hair inside of it. No liner to protect the bucket. If you flip the bucket over it had rust on the bottom side. There is barely any parking for anyone. Very small parking lot.

Verified reviewClean enough
Sheets ripped, bed totally uncomfortable, no coffee, looks like a step up from Bates motel. Could hear people on either side banging around. Wanted to do some things in monterrey but too tired from being up all night so we went home as early as possible.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and clean and as expected from the advert on booking.com
It was a little way away from the main drag if you’re walking, and basic, but not a problem if you’re expecting that.

Verified reviewNothing.
No amenities in the room. The room stunk so bad I got sick after standing in the unit for less than 5 minutes! The end unit did not feel safe. I did not stay, walked in, and right back out. Asked manager for a refund. He refused because I went thru Booking.com. called them, said they would take care of it. Then I saw an email was sent to me wanting me to reach out to Inn within 12 hours. I was on the road driving for next few days. He refused me anyway. I am not going back and forth. I want a refund. I did not stay. .

Verified reviewI loved the location of this place it was right on Del Monte and no more than a ten minute drive from the beach, monterey bay aquarium, cannery row, old fisherman's wharf, and very close to shops, grocery stores and restaurants. The staff was frendly.
The room itself was not clean, the floors were filthy, you had to wear shoes the whole time or you feet would get super dirty. The toilet was not bolted down correctly so when you sat down it would rock and move around, and it also leaked onto the bathroom floor, and the walls were super dirty there was food, dirt, that looked like it had been wiped onto the walls, and the room smelled like sewage. The beds were very hard and not comfortable at all, and the mini fridge did not get super cold at all. But the staff was friendly.

The water pressure is always sketchy in the Monterey area. No fault of the property.
