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 are 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 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 StatesReally only the parking situation is complaint worthy. They simply don’t have enough parking spaces to accommodate all the rooms. The resulting juggling of cars to next door is okay but you have to give the office your car keys if you’re sent to the alternate area. And if you’re lucky enough to park in the regular lot, every time you leave to go eat or shop it’s likely that you will have lost your spot when you return.
Location is phenomenal. The outdoor spaces are beautifully appointed. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

United StatesIt would have been nice if it had a pool but who needs that when you have the ocean?
I loved the location. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. The beach was steps away and the main street of Del Mar was within walking distance. It was a wonderful experience and we would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

United StatesI needed an iron, and would prefer a full shower door. Nothing major, and I could live without both.
Location was perfect! The town was so cute, with plenty of nearby restaurants and shops. It's close vicinity to San Diego. The room actually had housekeeping to refresh room daily. The beds were very comfortable. Lounge chairs and beach towels were provided. And if you book here you have to visit Richard walker pancake house, the have the best pecan baked pancake and its only 8 mins away. I'm ready to go back when it's hotter so I can enjoy getting in the water.

United StatesI really can't say there was anything we didn't like. The only items we would add to our "wish list" at this hotel would be 1: a microwave for the room (or even in the lobby) as we often had leftover food from dining out. 2. More towel hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and bathing suites - especially in the double queen room with 2 adults and 2 kids.
The hotel is directly on the beach and you can't beat the location. There are 2 great restaurants located next door and everything in town is walkable from this location. There is a wonderful community patio with tables, lounge chairs, and gas fireplaces that overlook the ocean and is a perfect place to watch sunsets and or have an evening gathering. Like everything in Del Mar, this hotel is not inexpensive BUT what I truly appreciated all the little extras that were included in the rate such as parking, a complimentary espresso machine and filtered water bottle filler in the lobby, a complimentary glass of wine at check-in, and complimentary use of beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards! We also received DAILY Housekeeping which is very rare these days! The room was modern, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The staff and owners were super friendly and always helpful. We will definitely be back!!

Loved the location on the beach. You can’t beat it. Morning coffee in the lobby and welcome glass of wine all great touches. It would be awesome if they could add a snack bar and maybe drink service on their beach patio and or live music. It would take it all to another level while still keeping the relaxed vibe.
