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 StatesHad to leave my dog in the car to check in as animals aren’t allowed in the front office building. Also, my room key didn’t work one morning, so I had to go back to the front office to get a working one - I had my dog with me at this time as well so I couldn’t go all the way inside to speak to the front desk worker, had to shout in from outside. Weird policy for a place that allows dogs in the rooms.
Location was great

United StatesStarting to show it’s age, there was an animal in the wall of our unit (someone had placed food out for animals directly behind our unit), there was a sign in our room about location(forested area) and ants which tells me that pest control is not being used. I wish there were a seating area within the room.

United KingdomFacilities - just a few bottles of water and a few snacks on offer would have been great. I knew breakfast wasn't served but without any shops within quick walking distance it would make sense to have something available other than the few fizzy drinks.
Great location, close to downtown and coast but still very quiet. A much better room than the usual Monterey Peninsula motels (I've stayed in a lot). Value was difficult to judge because all accommodation prices are stratospheric during Monterey Car Week – but it compared well.

United StatesBed was a little hard, blind had a broken slat that I had to hang a washcloth over, because it was in the bathroom, and faces the parking lot. A little short on parking spots. We had to park on the street once, because everything near our room was taken.
Recently refurbished room, clean, large, and pretty quiet.

United StatesI realize this is an expensive area, but a more could have been done to make the rooms feel more welcoming.
Very convenient for a visit to Pacific Grove while steering clear of the more touristy areas. The rooms were adequate and clean but not much in the way of eye appeal. There was a small area with a fire pit, but this is mostly a convenient place to sleep and shower.

United StatesOur room was right next to where they come in and out with the big cleaning cars. Very noisy all through the day. TV didn’t work, ice machine on the property was broken. I have stayed there many times and it has been wonderful, but that was over 10 years ago.
The location is amazing. I’ve stayed here many times. It must have new owners since I’ve been there a couple years ago. (The friendly coastal energy is missing.)

The Sea Breeze is equal walking distance either to the ocean to west, or to downtown Pacific Grove to the east. It's not a hotel but a motor lodge.
