Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

CanadaHousekeeping could have been better (for the price being paid) Towels were not replaced, cleaning cloth was left on counter.
The location was great. The views and close walk to the beach was lovely. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Not very sound proof and housekeeping wasn’t on par for the price that you pay. Breakfast and drink were very yummy even though we did not get our welcome drink.

United States of AmericaI was hoping for a warm, glowing fireplace experience in the lobby which would have made the trip perfect. There is a fireplace but it doesn't generate warmth and would lend itself to a perfect lobby/bar area.
The breakfast was terrific. Very quality food. Appreciated the free parking and warmth of the staff especially Veronique. Thank you!

United States of AmericaMy room faced the street so it was very loud at night, which disturbed my sleep. I thought it was a room issue but you could hear the cars throughout the day around the hotel so it may be something they can’t address. Breakfast is included but starts at 8am. I was there for work so I would leave before that. If I were there on vacation I guess it wouldn’t be an issue. I was able to get breakfast one day, which was good.

Breakfast was delicious. Service was excellent by our two staff members. The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic, in a residential neighborhood only one block stroll to the staircase to a secluded ocean beach and cove. Also on main California Costal Highway 1 and just a 20” walk to downtown LaGuna Beach

We loved the ability to disconnect. The record player was so fun to pick records out for everyday. The extra touches; iced tea by the pool, beach chairs and umbrella use for free and the free welcome drink were all so nice.

United States of AmericaWe stayed in a bottom floor and the noise level kept me from sleeping. It would be great to include ear plugs for bottom floor rooms or a sound machine like a hatch. The record player didn’t work in the olivine room. The beds were uncomfortable and it would’ve been nice to have extra pillows. The manual in the room indicated we would be texted to see what time we would like coffee service and if we wanted an alternative milk creamer but we didn’t get this message.
Breakfast was great. The property was beautiful and cozy. The location was perfect. We were searching for something away from the busyness. Hospitality was 10/10. The details really took this property to the next level - loved the water and birthday touches like the card and wine. The bathroom, room and lobby were designed beautifully. The coffee service in the morning was absolutely fantastic. The welcome cocktails were a great touch. I would also recommend adding a non alcoholic option.

With a very short walk to a lovely beach cove and a most stylish and comfy room (Auric, with very pretty view), we loved our stay at the Joaquin Hotel. Breakfast (included with the room) was wonderful. Overall, it was a delight to be here!@

United States of AmericaWe were in a room close to the street so could hear the (minimal) traffic during the night.
The included breakfast was delicious! There were 4 options — depending on your mood you can choose what you are feeling. It was fresh, tasty, and could tell it was made thoughtfully. The living room and bar space was so cozy and welcoming to hang out in.

RomaniaAlthough its design was very nice and true to the pictures, the room did not meet our expectations and its description on the hotel's website. The promised ocean view was actually a side view that you would only see if you went out one of the mini-balconies. We had precisely looked for a hotel/room that would meet two criteria: sleek design and ocean views, and unfortunately the latter was not met, despite a promising description.
The hotel is just as beautiful as in the pictures! The lounge and breakfast areas are beautiful, with wonderful design and a beautiful ocean view. Staff is incredibly nice, always there for you! Complimentary breakfast was a bliss.
