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 KingdomNot much. Inevitably the age of such hotels means that some doors and furniture / fixtures may appear weathered, but the hotel is kept cleaned and well-maintained. Minimal warm food at breakfast ie scrambled egg and sausage patty. The rooms are not awash with electric points but there was a spare under the bedside lamp. Hanging space is basic and compromised by ironing board, safe and fridge, although these are all useful
Loads … I was greeted by Camilo, who is a class act: elegantly attired, reassuringly experienced, helpful and gracious at all times. The rooms and common areas were meticulously cleaned and the prices sensible for a decent art deco hotel. Pleasantly surprised that two small bottles of water are placed in the room daily. The dinner menu varied and reasonably enough priced compared with others on Ocean Drive (and they haven’t succumbed to using gaudy menus with colour photos!). Compact but nice bar in the front and evening guitar entertainment outside. Breakfast selection was straightforward, but enough. Always fresh apples, oranges and bananas as well as a good selection of bagels, bread and croissant - it was overseen by a lovely lady. Beach towels are available on request, as are foldable chairs to avoid the extortion of the beach hire crews! My room had a small fridge which was effective and helpful. Bathroom and shower all fine. Bedding crisp and looked quite new.

GermanyReally nothing to complain other than the money you have to spend for an overnight. Rates could be more reasonable. 1.600$ for 3 nights is way too much for a 3star hotel, even we had the nice frontline sea view; understanding it´s the Ocean Drive and an iconic Art Deco Hotel.
Great (if not the best) place to stay and play in South Beach. It´s obviously an iconic hotel/building and the Staff is really friendly and supportive. We have nothing to complain. The included breakfast is ok. They offer croissants, muffins, toast, jam, a nice joghurt where you can take oranges, apples making it nice. Filter-Coffee, tea and water is also included. We´ve been with our 2 kids (10/16) and they enjoyed everything. Also the restaurant is highly recommended but pricy. We paid for the 4 of us (2 adults with 2 kids) 370$ and we didn´t go crazy at all with what we ordered (kids were also only drinking water). On a separate note: I know tip has to be given and we are more than happy to do so, but found it not professional when getting the bill with automatically having 20% tip added.

United StatesThe garbage truck came early and there was a lot of yelling going on outside our room. I think there was homeless person on the mattresses that the Avalon was throwing away. The windows did not open - one opened maybe an inch. Would have been scary with an emergency.
Loved how close it was to the beach. The breakfast was good and very convenient.
