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.).

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a fantastic location near a stunning beach. We had use of beach equipment and bikes which was fantastic, we rode to Venice beach all along the coast it was wonderful. Plenty of shops/bars and restaurants in walking distance and a bus stop outside which can take you further if needed for just $2 each.
We didn’t have enough kitchen equipment for all of us which made it difficult at meal times but the staff provided us with extra so was fine by day 2.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect, access to shops and restaurants plus beach area was great
Apartment was not very clean, dust on shelves and within the first few hours the toilet needed to be fixed. The kitchen appliances were old, we could not use pots or pans and there is no electric kettle.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent. Right across the street from a small market and a short walk to the beach. You can see the water from just outside. Parking was sufficient.
Parking pass was a bit expensive.

Verified reviewOcean view! Exceptional staff and loans of beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, bikes, even toys & basketballs. Staff said pool is heated year-round, definitely a nice feature.
Rooms are very modest -- hard to wrap your brain around the price of a basic beach hotel these days -- stained carpeting, just OK bathroom. Obviously you're paying for location, not facilities. Balcony over busy street.

Verified reviewThere are about 7 buildings. Our room was on a busy street and yet it was quiet with the sliding doors closed. It was fun to people watch. And it had a view of the ocean. Room 107. Clean. Comfy. Other family members were next door. And others in a 2 bedroom suite. Everyone was happy. The pool was delicious. And everyone who worked there was nice Especially Tequila.
The room was a bit small but this is a minor thing. It was big enough for the two of us.
