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 StatesThey offered small portions for breakfast snacks and ran out of food most days. They were not consistent with making up the rooms. When they skipped our room, we asked where to leave trash. We were told leave trash in the hall and it sat there all day. While the bathroom was nice, the shampoo/conditioner and soap provided were very cheap so we did not use.
We had a large bedroom with a smaller sitting room (with futon that turned into bed) and bathroom in between the two rooms. Nice set up for family of 4. The bathroom was nice and shower had good pressure. The main bed was very comfortable.

United StatesBeing a historic Victorian building from 1889, plumbing has some minor issues with water pressure, which affects ability to balance out water temperature using the shower knobs, as the main example.
Well located, great staff, clean, comfortable. The text messages/reminders were a great touch. Good communication throughout the stay.

United StatesIt’s a historic building so, true to the period, the bathroom is small.
We liked the historic feel. Front desk personnel, Daniel, was very helpful, efficient, friendly and informative. Free parking, next to downtown and easy walk to the water. WiFi worked well. Hot/cold water pressure was very good. Easy access to old town Carmel, Pt Lobos, Cannery Row, Asilomar beach. Happy hour glass of wine and freshly baked cookies add a very cozy, welcoming vibe.

United StatesSince it is an old, historic hotel, there is no a/c. The hotel did provide an fan which kept things cool. It was a little noisy though. Also, the parking lot is too small. I had to park on the street.
The hotel itself is a pretty, Victorian building. The Breakfast Room is lovely. The breakfast was simple but excellent.

United StatesWe visited first week of October. Temps in the high 80s to low 90s. Not what the weather channel forcasted. There is no air conditioning in this hotel. Our room on the third floor was incredibly hot. Two small windows opened and there was a box fan. Room was 80 degrees all the time. To be fair, most restaurants and stores were also not air conditioned. A very sweltering trip with no relief in our room.
Location is great. Short walk to Lovers Point, downtown, and many local restaurants. Very charming hotel. Fantastic staff! The room is very charming and the bathroom and shower were nice.
