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 AmericaStorage space in the room could have been a bit better. We were there for short stay, but with a longer visit more hanging space and drawer space would be ideal.
Excellent location, couldn’t have been better. Had a balcony ocean front room, and it was amazing - we didn’t want to leave.

United States of AmericaParking is a little spread out but it's not a deal breaker as it comes with the lay out of the property.
The view. The access to the beach and boardwalk. The water filling station. The coffee bar in the morning and popcorn at night. Cant forgot, I love the huge showers.

United States of AmericaI have no complaints about this hotel.
The staff were the main reason we loved this location. It was our first time visiting this hotel and the staff were super welcoming and helpful. We were offered a free upgrade from standard queen to a suite as a wedding gift (we were there to get married at The Cocoanut Grove). We so humbled and grateful for the generosity. The property itself is in a great location, clean, very cute, and safe. We will absolutely be staying at this spot for future trips!

United States of AmericaNothing! We were really pleased with everything!
Location could not be better. We stayed in an ocean view room on the 2nd floor. Great views from our room and balcony. Room was spacious and very clean. Beach access was super close, just down some stairs, cross the street, and your feet are in the sand. Our boys especially loved being near the volleyball courts- great for watching some excellent play and trying ourselves with some other families who were also enjoying the beach. The little complimentary treats throughout the day made it especially memorable for our kids- hot chocolate and made to order coffees/tea in the morning, snow cones in the afternoon, and popcorn and tea in the evening! We really enjoyed the monterey bay exploration museum, which was just steps away, as well! We were really surprised there was no entrance fee. Well worth checking out, even for just a quick walkthrough. We could not be happier with our stay and are certain to visit again!

United States of AmericaOcean view rooms allowed us to sit and watch the surfers in the morning on the large shared balcony. The room was exceptionally clean. Shower was huge and had fantastic water pressure and temperature. Beds were comfy. Our room had a microwave & mini fridge. Popcorn & hot chocolate daily was a sweet surprise and a nice touch for guests. Hotel staff were super friendly!

AustraliaWe didn't like having to go to reception for a tea and coffee every morning, supplying a kettle in the room would be good. The TV initially didn't work but was an easy fix and a hairdryer would of been helpful.
We all loved the free popcorn and hot chocolate each night and the staff at reception were so friendly and always helpful. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and the views of beach and wharf were really nice. The free water and laundry facilities are amazing additions.

United States of AmericaMy only complaint is the lock for the door . If you lock the door all you have to do is push the handle down and it unlocks the door from the inside , which was scary with my 2 year old so we had to move some furniture in front of the door at night to ensure she did not wake before us and open the door . Would have liked a more secure lock or a higher up lock
The hospitality was amazing , the location was great . View was amazing and check in was easy !
