Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesCutlery was not provided. For the price and for having a kitchen I didn’t appreciate the nickle and dime approach of charging extra for utensils and something to cook with. The expectation when there is a kitchen is there are also plates and forks.
Location was amazing! Check in and communication was positive.

United StatesWe did not have any utensils, pots or pans to cook. So make sure you bring your own. Bring your own beach gear.
Loved how close we are to the beach and we walked to downtown. The rooms were bigger than expected. Liked the fact we had our own parking spots.

United StatesHave no AC. Alarm clock went off at midnight. Bed can be more comfortable. Sometimes can hear neighbors making noises and cars driving by.
Convenient location: Close to the beach and the village. Beach and ocean view. Ocean waves are natural soothing white noise. Separate house from others. Staff very helpful.

United StatesDue to a pipe failure they had to shut off water to most of the hotel, but we were offered another room. Also, there's no free parking, but it's only $15/day so not a big deal.
The Venetian is in a perfect spot- it's right on the beach and many of the rooms have balconies with a view of the water. Kitchenettes with a coffee maker and some cups and supplies let us have a pre-breakfast coffee (nice for those cold mornings). We went in the off-season (November), and Capitola is a magical place to stay when the summer crowds are gone.

United StatesThere were some changes. They implemented a parking fee per night. The room was missing an adequate garbage can in the kitchenette, was also missing the recycling can, and it used to have a toaster. The maid service wasn't scheduled, despite the front desk calling to ask if services were needed. The last night of our stay, the room next door seemed to be having open tryouts for fight club. There was loud banging on the walls, a woman crying, and men talking loudly for quite awhile. Calls to the front desk went unanswered. We've been going annually for our anniversary, but all things considered we may try someplace else in the future. :(
We love being very close to the beach.

United StatesWe had to change our dinner plans because we were required to check in before 9pm, and the clerk was gone "on break" at 8pm when we got there. Never have experienced an employee break being a higher priority than customer service, but that is apparently the top priority at the Capitola Venetian, not the guests. Service was perfunctory, not gracious, and there are not amenities to speak of, no breakfast or features, just a room near the sand.
Location right on the beach was as advertised. Able to walk on the beach in the moonlight without driving anywhere! Room was spacious and had kitchen facilities, and temperature was good, easy to sleep.

United StatesThere is no view of the ocean or anything really. It is quite loud but I guess this is to be expected during a summer weekend night. People yelling and screaming walking past the rooms headed to bars and dinner.
I’ve always wanted to stay here at the cute colored hotel. Parking is available for additional cost and worth it being here on a weekend in the summer. Walking distance to all things, restaurants and shops. Spacious room and very clean. Early check in available for an additional cost. Beach steps from room door.

United StatesVery noisy, not only from outside activities but from the creaky floor from room above my own. Also, various plumbing or drain noises that constantly drowned out any prospect of hearing the waves even with the window open.
Location was ideal for hanging out at the beach or esplanade. The room was spacious with functioning microwave and refridgerator, and coffee was provided. Most importantly, the room came with a parking space which was essential given the crowd that was visiting during my stay.
