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 StatesThe bathroom was very small. It is a busy corner but especially Wednesday nights are "party" nights in the park/beach. Music until after 11:00 so be warned if you need to sleep early!
Charming old beach-side hotel. Nicely updated, Friendly/helpful staff. Selection of snacks, beverages and other miscellaneous items for sale and nicely displayed in the lobby. Clean rooms, Fluffy towels and comfortable beds. Balcony looking right onto the beach.

United StatesThe hotel is quaint. If you're looking for a luxury spa, look elsewhere. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe and the boho area. My room was small but I didn't feel cramped because of the patio and ocean access. There are planes flying over during the day but I didn't notice any at night. There's an in-room refrigerator & coffee maker, but no microwave (guests are welcome to use the microwave in the office).
It's across the street from the beach! I'm mobility impaired but I was able to easily visit the beach. There are lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and shops within easy walking distance, even for me. The staff at the hotel is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel is an older property but very clean & well maintained. There's a large, walled in patio that my room opened out to. It has a fountain and tables to enjoy. The beach side walls are glass so you can enjoy the ocean from the patio. The hotel is very dog friendly and there were several rooms that had doggy guests. The area is very dog friendly. The beach across the street allows leashed dogs and there's a dog beach just minutes away that allows off-leash dogs. Overall, I felt welcome, comfortable, and safe during my stay. I'll definitely stay here again!

United StatesThis is an older facility on the beach which means no elevator service to the second and third floors. This is also a beach town and there are transients wandering around, bars open late, street vendors, and the location is on the main street with cars, motorcycles, and daily garbage pickups across the street, all contributing to a lot of general noise. I am an older person and although I didn't have any problems with the local color, others might. A nightlight in the bathroom would be nice.
Had to add an extra night. They were very accommodating. View was spectacular - waves and pier. We had very heavy rain, they provided extra towels to help with keeping the mess down on the floors (hard surface, no rugs). They allowed us to bring in the table and chairs from the porch so that the 4 people in the room had a place to sit down other than the beds. Parking was provided for one car, always had a place to park our car, even on the heavy traffic beach days. Location was perfect for access to Sea World and Belmont Park. Exterior access doors to the courtyard were locked at night with card key access. The courtyard and outside ocean-facing seating areas were lovely. Amenities available - laundry and a well-stocked lobby store. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We were able to walk to restaurants and stores (Target is nearby). I was delighted to have the three sliding glass doors facing the ocean and pier that could be opened to allow the air and sound of the surf (railing provided for safety). I would love to come back when the weather is warmer.
