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 StatesThe polyester bedding with too soft mattress. There was the elevator piano music that played in the background, and can be heard in my room for hours until after 8pm. The carpet didn't look too clean. The staircase was steep and narrow with no elevator, it was difficult to carry luggage up with no help.
The spacious room and bathroom.

CanadaThings were not prepared in the room as advertised. When I contacted the host, they were not able to address them for me until sometime the next day.
Character building with a story, as well, the location between Monterey and Salinas was great, very centrally located and easy to get to the communities and amenities in the area.

United StatesSpace heaters instead of central heat. Outside furniture needs a bit of TLC. Chilly in public room.
I liked the overall peacefulness at the chateau. The managers are very helpful and polite. I could help myself to coffee, filtered water, plates, glasses and silverware in a central area. My bed was very comfortable. My bathroom was spacious with lots of hot water. I had cable on the television and there was beautiful furniture in my room and throughout the chateau.

United StatesIt felt s little weird to not have a physical staff here. I could always reach someone by phone (seemed like a call center service), but it was strange there wasn't anyone here to greet guests. My first night there was an issue with the electrical outlets in my room, so the heater and chargers didn't work. I had to call the center and they went through a troubleshooting protocol that didn't make sense before they agreed to move my room. The new room was great, and overall, it was still a chill and quiet visit. Just what I was looking for!
Clean room, very spacious, and quiet. Perfect spot for a solo work trip.

United StatesSuper thin sheets. Our bathroom was huge and nicely appointed, but not clean. Very sad that it was in the middle of a modern housing development.
Wonderful old house, decorated so nicely. Lovely welcoming parlor and set up for coffee and tea downstairs. Heirloom fruit trees and roses were stunning. We had a turret!

United StatesThe fact that there was no personal interaction and that the access was with codes, it made the experience a little spooky.
The mansion is well appointed with a lot of character. The room was spacious and the common spaces were elegant. The owners took care of all the little details.

AustraliaAll rooms are on an upper level with access only by very steep stairs.
A boutique hotel. Rooms large with amazingly large bathroom. Set in a very old building which has been made from a large house into hotel rooms. Very quiet location. Room has an iron available. No staff available on check in but an email on the day of arrival for your stay included a code to enter the building and code to enter your room. The town of Salinas is about 5 minutes away where you are able to buy meals. Fridge in room was an added bonus. Ironing facilities in room
