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.).

GermanyThe carpet in the room could've been cleaner. It was a mistake to leave a window in a bathroom open, as it's very noisy outside in the morning.
The location is fantastic! The hotel is right in the core if Monterey. The staff is helpful. The room is nice. It's nice to have a parking on site.

It was a fine place to stay. The location is the big draw. Patio with gas fireplace is nice, as long as guests keep noise down after dark.

Great location - walking distance to the aquarium, shops and restaurants. Room was clean, lovely and big to spread out. Loved the fire pit that was lit in the evening great way to chat and meet other guests. Special shout out to Carol on reception- there was the woman’s European football final on, England were in it and she helped us find which channel to watch it on. She also organised a bottle of wine to help use celebrate dads 80th birthday- so thanks Carol xx

United KingdomSliding doors into bathroom were very noisy (difficult with a sleeping newborn!) and and could hear the people walking above us.
Easy to find, good location close to everything you would want to see. Rooms were of a good size and provide a pack and play for our little one. Lovely atmosphere with the fire pits on in the evening. Safe secure garage to park the car and was able ti leave it here the next day whilst we explored

United KingdomRooms felt a bit tired but they were updating some rooms while we were there so this fix is already in progress. Would also be good to get the electric gates fixed so they could be used for entry (rather than just exit)
Good location, comfortable bed and great shower pressure. Staff very friendly and shared recommendations for places to eat!

United StatesThought I booked the family two adjoining rooms on Booking.com, but when we got there we were told that we actually booked two separate rooms that were four doors down. Don’t know where the error occurred. Suggest calling the property to confirm booking in future. Plan to have $50 security deposit placed on your credit card.
2nd floor was perfect for families with young children: room for them to safely walk around in front of the rooms. We told our little grandsons that the flat rocks were dinosaur eggs (they named them). The baby monitor had reception from the fire pit area and we could see the room door easily from there.
