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 StatesThe only downsides I could say about the hotel is the breakfast options and very limited parking. I didn't go to breakfast because I was told of the limited options.
It is a great place to stay, very clean and comfortable room and homey feeling. The staff is very kind and welcoming.

United KingdomThe bed was uncomfortable, but when we raised it with staff they did move us to a room where the bed was better. That was great for us but it didn’t make the first bed any more comfortable for someone else! The plumbing is very old so the shower wasn’t very powerful but that’s the nature of the hotel!
Location was perfect. The hot cookies and brownies are delicious and breakfast is nice. Quaint and unique hotel.

United KingdomWe had one of the corner rooms on the first floor, the room was a great size and we had an en-suite with a powerful shower but the walls and not well insulated and you could hear the adjoining room.
The staff were exceptional, we loved the welcome brownies and home made scones and not forgetting the complimentary evening wine. The breakfast yoghurt, fruit s and honey with more scones was great too! There’s free parking at the front and ample on road free parking. It is very well located only a short walk from the headland and numerous restaurants. We are at the Beachhouse overlooking the sea which was very good.

United StatesThe walls allow sound to transfer readily. If there had been noisy guests, it would have been unpleasant. I had my white noise app ready to go on my phone, but didn't need it.
The complimentary wine was lovely, as was the brownie. Loved the continental breakfast too. My room was charming, and felt so authentic. Super walkable location in a charming town

Old world charm and staff... The rooms had nice, quaint decor. Staff was very welcoming and warm. Shared places to go around, fine options. Breakfast has just two but incredibly wonderful dishes - scones and parfait.... Nice location and walkable to all major dining options.

United StatesOne window facing the street would not fully close so passing vehicles woke me. The bed springs were noisy - each time my wife or I turned the other would get woken up. No curtains - only blinds that let in the light as dawn broke which was too early on a Sunday morning.
Good location for access to both Pacific Grove downtown and the coast. The hotel was quaint, clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was a reasonable size and equipped with essentials.

CanadaA bit disappointed they’ve dropped the excellent cooked to order breakfasts and substituted it with toast and yogurt . A lot of places are using covid as an excuse for providing less service . No mini fridge or microwave or kettle in rooms so that’s a negative — But cookies and coffee always available in dining room . Other than that everything else is excellent . Lovely , friendly , helpful staff . Location perfectly situated to get around the peninsula.

United StatesOur queen bed was a little soft and we would have preferred a more firm mattress. The toilet had a slight problem when we arrived but it was quickly repaired. I think it needs some new tank parts.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The location was excellent and we were able to walk to the beach, park, and restaurants. Every morning we were served a delicious yogurt parfait with granola and fresh fruit as well as scrumptious scones and orange juice. Coffee and tea were available all day along with cookies in the afternoon and in the evening wine was offered. The sunny room was small, but comfortable.
