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...).

United States of AmericaThe only thing disappointing thing is they cancelled my massage last minute due to a sick call. It was very disappointing as we were only there for one night and drove 4 hours to get there. Although I know you never plan to be sick - I would maybe hope in the future they can have a back up plan/staff for sick calls especially on a busy weekend. The staff did their best to make right with a gift card and a goody bag. I did not catch the girls name but she did go over and beyond to try and rectify the situation. Greatly appreciated . I probably would have rated the property a 10 if it weren’t for this event.
The room was fantastic and whimsical. All the staff from the bar, spa, check in and restaurants were so friendly and accommodating. The danishes and cake were very yummy ! Everything was clean and quiet. The pool was very nice to lay at. The pink cloud drink was a must try! And you can’t beat the views .

United States of AmericaThe price of the rooms and cake slices, a bit much in both cases.
The pool & Jacuzzis. The amazing creativity of the founders & designers - the Madonna family - and the decor all over is ornate and one of a kind! Nice to be able to drive right up to room.

United States of AmericaI know that the Madonna Inn is “the place to stay“ in SLO, but I didn’t find anything special about it, particularly in light of the price of the room and the resort fee. The room we had “Solvang“ was very big, but the furniture must’ve been brought in sometime around 1945 right after the war. When we first checked in, they offered us a room the third floor, and it had no elevator to get up. Fortunately, we are able to change to a first floor room.
The room we had was big, although the furniture was old and the one chair creaked.

United States of AmericaThe only downside was the big lights outside of our bedroom window that never went off. They were part of our outside window, on the top floor. The light seeped through the curtains and kept me up for most of the night. I even called the front desk and they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. It made my sleep really uncomfortable.
The inside of our room (the love nest) was so beautiful and kitschy. There were lots of extra little details from the birds on the light fixtures to the tile in the shower. The hotel as a whole has wonderful amenities, from their spa to their delicious steak house. They really have everything you could need. Also bonus: fancy toilets with heated seats lol

United States of AmericaThe price of food at the restaurants were very high. My husband and boys stayed in a seperate room. My son had surgery and has difficulty even though we were on the 1st floor with the unevenness of the pavement/stones. Also my 98 year old mother had difficulty with the same issue.
The room was very cute! Stayed with my daughters in the Crystal Room. It was perfect for us. Loved how there were 2 areas to get ready.
