Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

ItalyJust suggestions, not criticism! It would be helpful to put the room numbers also on the stairs leading up to the rooms, it's hard to see the numbers when it gets dark, the light doesn't help... It would be great to have a tote bag in the rooms (which would be for sale), to put our things in when going to the spa. The snacks in the room could be healthier... it's a spa after all. When you put a fruit basket with oranges, don't forget a napkin and knife and plate. Green juices or ginger/turmeric shots on the menu would sell. Portions are huge and delicious and I understand that in the US people eat a lot, but maybe could there be an option of smaller portions as well? And more non-alcoholic choices...even though I understand a lot of clients come for the wine tasting.
We were overwhelmed with the staff, the quick service, the facilities, the food, and the wonderful positive vibe everywhere. It's very rare to get this quality of service, smiling faces and high standards, and it's obvious your staff is treated well, which makes all the difference! Loved the plastic slippers and bathrobe! And the hot cider...Liscia's massage was the best I've ever had!

Love the warm welcome from staff - and the free amenities including a bottle of Bernardus wine in the room! Very comfortable beds. Love the space in the room and the outdoor views while strolling the property even on a chilly rainy winter day.

United States of AmericaWhen we first arrived, there was a noisy crew of kids above us. They left at 6 that evening so all is well but it was a bit disconcerting to walk into this beautiful room and hear kids on scooters up above us.
I had a facial with Raquel and she was wonderful. THANK YOU for some much needed pampering. Also, the rest of your staff-front desk, bartender, hostess, cleaning crew were all friendly and helpful as we navigated being there for the first time. Also loved the noon check out time and not feeling rushed

United KingdomThe food in the Lucia restaurant was pretty average. We shared a Caesar salad which was pretty under dressed, under parmesaned and under anchovied. Julies chicken was underwhelming. I had the ravioli which was excellent. The crème bruleee custard was over cooked to a solid mass and the vanilla seeds hadn’t been mixed in much. Given the excellence of everything else the food was average.
The absolute quality of everything. It was so friendly and so comfortable. The room was great, nice touches, the cheese, Barnabus wine and drinks in room. Nice lawn area, putting fun but not Green standard; after a wine or two didn’t seem to matter. Henry in Lucia restaurant is a gem. Wine cellar lovely, serious wine list, do ask for the non standard list. The gardens are pretty special especially the vegetable garden.

United States of AmericaThe only issue that could have made the stay better would be to have streaming TV channel access in the room's TV (netflix-prime) as we didnt have access to our binge-worthy shows at night, but it is just a gentle suggestion.
Every detail was attended to, including welcome glass of rose and help with bags/ room operations. Heated floors in the bath and gratis snacks in the room, comfy beds and nice pool round out what we expect from a top tier resort.

United States of Americathe rooms have a couch but it doesn’t pull out. there is very little space for a roll away.
The property is amazing. Gorgeous gardens and a small vineyard up front, rooms and villas in the back. with an Olympic size pools and three hot tubs (one is actually a hot pool at the spa), saunas and steam rooms and all the snacks included - they were very nice, not your usual peanuts. a bottle of Provence rosé and beer, lemonade and water came with the room, in addition to wine being poured at the lobby in the afternoon. we had and amazing day hiking, and relaxing at the spa. Carmel Valley is small but delivers big in terms of beautiful nature, many wineries represented just in town, great food and a proximity of the beach, Carmel by the sea with more amazing food and cute shopping street. Pebble beach golf courses and Big Sur is just a short drive away. The Lodges restaurant serves delicious food. We would love to come back!

CanadaThe service door was right outside our room and so it was very noisy during our stay as someone seemed to always be there. It also made us feel like there wasn’t enough privacy if someone is outside our door all the time.
Quiet and beautiful property with views of the valley from our room. The room was lovely and super cosy!

United States of AmericaThey need a better casual menu for dinner as an alternative. If you don't want to have dinner there, which we did not.....you have to go up a couple of miles to Carmel Valley Village, or down towards Carmel By-the -Sea. We enjoyed where we went but would have stayed on the property a couple of nights for dinner. For us, their dinner menu is too gourmet focused.
Unbelievable location. We consider Bernardus to be the most romantic and charming resort we have ever stayed at. The property is amazing, and so was their staff. The standard room is nice, but we did request to re-locate after a night to what turned out to be a fantastic room, which was larger with a great view. We were there for a week, so the right room was important to us.
