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.).

BrazilSmall room. Little space to walk around if you have more than 2 suitcases. Also, the door to the shower doesn't open all the way because of the toilet. Bigger people would have problems getting inside.
Great location, comfortable and clean.

United StatesWe thought the room was small and dark. The lighting wasn't bright enough in the bathroom area. The bathroom sink was separate from the shower and toilet which was fine. But, the bathroom was very small. The toilet was so close to the wall and toilet paper holder that it was awkward to sit there. Half the shower door wasn't there. The pool area was small and there were not many chaise lounges and and several were ripped.
The location is great. We were able to walk everywhere and being right on the harbor was wonderful. I was able to take long morning walks along the harbor and breathe the fresh sea air! The staff was also very accomodating, especially the valets. We used the in/out service several times and the valets were wonderful. The front desk staff were friendly and helped us with recommendations and directions.

United StatesThe room was not what I thought it was going to be and we were in a building furthest away from the main office. The room seemed more like a regular hotel room. The room was dated and the walls were super thin. I could hear the AC from the floor above all night long.
the staff was excellent, smiles and hellos from everyone and was super helpful in all they did. Location cannot be beat!

United StatesNo elevators as this property is a collection of charming Spanish style old motels, renovated. But the valet will help you carry your bags up. Valet parking was $32 per day so the second day we parked on the street.
Incredible location and charm. Outdoor gardens across the street from the beach, where people are strolling and riding bikes. You can borrow bikes or beach chairs from the hotel. Walking distance to the pier and State street. Perfect for soaking up Santa Barbara’s special beachfront ambience.

United KingdomWalls were paper thin, and we could clearly hear the guy next door snoring. Seating outside our window was for anyone in the block. Foi d 4 people sat drinking staring into our room from 2m away. Had to keep the blinds down. Blinds didn't meet in the corner so anyone walking up the steps could see right into our room. We were offered an alternative room but it was old and dated. Staff provide clips for the blinds, which took care of the gap in the blinds. No wardrobe to put clothes.
Newly refurbished rooms. Small but quite comfortable. Valet Parking was quite expensive but easy. Staff were exceptional throughout our stay. Good reception area with drink and food to purchase. Location was perfect, just across from the beach. Provided a small bottle of Prosecco, free of charge for my wife's Birthday.

Great location and a clean room. The two at the front counter went up and beyond with great service. Tried so hard to please. She even checked on me when she heard I fell in the bathroom from other staff.

United StatesEverything was great!
My son and I had the best time here. The property is very lovely and right across from the beach, close to the pier. We swam in the smaller of thier 2 pool areas. Both are well maintained with plenty of lounge seating and clean towels. At night, we made s'mores provided by the hotel. They have several firepits throughout the property, making for a fun, relaxing evening. Their little market is stocked with lots of nice wine, beer, cocktails, and higher end snacks.There are plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance. Our room was large and updated, and the bed was comfortable. We can't wait to go back!
