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 KingdomVery very noisy rooms. We specifically requested a room not on the ground floor and not adjacent to the restaurant which is exactly what they gave us despite agreeing in advance not to. Impossible to sleep in the room due to noise. No compensation/compromise provided. No air conditioning. Front desk staff generally rude and unwelcoming. Zero hotel facilities. Lost original restaurant reservation. Impossible to recommend anyone to stay here.
Clean, good location, free valet parking

United StatesThe room furnishings are dated and cheap looking. It’s as if they furnished from Goodwill. At over $800 a night I expected better. Bed was comfy. Thats about it.
Breakfast suppose to be included. I turned in my breakfast request slip directly to the front desk attendant the day before. Requested prompt delivery at 7:30 am as I had to be somewhere. Breakfast never showed up. They told me they never received my order. No offer to make up for it. No apology.

France- Valet service never came when I arrived and when I left the hotel to take care of my suitcases for me and my wife. - The breakfast is really too small. - For a Relais & Chateaux the welcoming at the reception really need to improve, it's not professional.
- The location in Downton - The rooms are cosy - The service at the bar and restaurant was very nice.

United StatesA touch on the older side, but still very clean. Bed was *too soft*, but thats just me
Location unbeatable, right by all the restaurants and close to the beach. Great food, breakfast included and really high quality. The courtyard is lovely. All the little refreshments were of high quality- I loved the Nespresso, flat and sparkling water, carmels and snacks in the room. Service was very good, valet parking included

United StatesSuper noisy, if you come here for a relaxing time you can forget about it, impossible to sleep, you can hear everything from people talking, stepping, running, the courtyard… paying that much money and not sleep !? The room are very rustic. There is not much of a room service except breakfast. We were not able to order a drink at the bar or from our room. Something weird and uncomfortable is when you go back to your room you have to walk through table where people are having a Michelin star dining experience, all dressed up so coming back from the beach we felt that we were disturbing people by going back to our room. The temperature control is inexistant if you are hot you will stay hot! I’m conclusion for the half price you can find way better hotels! We won’t come back
The property is close to everything In Carmel, few minutes from the beach, restaurants, Main Street. The room is spacious, nice bathroom. Free valet service.

United StatesShort staffed, small cluttered room up a narrow flight of stairs, didn’t get maid service one day with breakfast tray still on our bed in the evening, no bellman to help bring bags down those stairs when checking out, bellman was bartender and valet. Slow to get a drink in bar. Staff was very nice just spread too thin. Hotel is charming looking but not a 5 star property because of lack of staff and it needs remodeling and updating. We’ve wanted to stay here for years and were so disappointed.
Location is perfect. Very charming exterior.
