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 AmericaSome of the rooms are separated by Hwy 1 from the rest of the property, although, the rooms were set back enough that road noise was not an issue.
The Adirondack Chairs in the creek was what drew me here, but the rest of the property is also wonderful. The beds were soft and comfy, the restaurant food was good, and the breakfast burritos were huge!

United States of AmericaThe room we unknowingly ended up with was across the busy Highway 1 to reach main facilities and restaurant. No crosswalk or sign or blinking light. Very dangerous to cross. We ended up getting our deposit back but had to drive 3 hrs out of Big Sur area to Pismo Beach to find a room. Very inconvenient and exhausting.

United States of AmericaIt is very overpriced at >$300 a night for a motel with no AC & weak wi-fi. It was difficult to sleep with the all the loud road noises kept waking me up. In hindsight, I recommend doing a day trip to big sur instead of staying overnight.
The staff at the restaurant and front desk are friendly and welcoming.

United States of AmericaSuite was okay. 50/50. They spend too much on lamp shades! Could've spend that to coffee maker (a little more convenient to make, brew); microwave; small refrigerator. 🤷♀️ We used bathroom light as our nightlight.Unfortunately, we didn't get enough sleep because of censor light. So sensitive!! Little movement from bed, light will turned ON. Safety precautions: Not advisable for older people to have that kind of bathroom. Hopefully, not all bathrooms are like that. They need to re-evaluate the floor. Need airfreshener. Smell weed or something when you enter the room.
River.. although, it didn't go as expected due heavy rains from last weeks and past few weeks. We didn't get a chance to relax, chill and hang out by the water. We will coming back for sure maybe on summer. Food next door was good (lol) where else we can go.

United KingdomJust to be aware there is a little bit of traffic noise in the morning but it is a roadside motel so... it didn't bother us anyway. We loved the place.
The beds pillows linen were amazing. The best nights sleep of our trip. The room was fresh and clean and big. Lovely toiletries provided. Great shower. Fast heater in the room and good temperature. Coffee provided. We had a really good breakfast at the restaurant and burritos at the shop also great. Staff at both of these were good. We didn't really meet motel staff.
